石田 隆

I am a Research Scientist at RIKEN AIP, a Lecturer at The University of Tokyo, and a part-time Research Scientist at Sakana AI.

At UTokyo, I am co-running Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis Lab (Sugiyama-Yokoya-Ishida Lab). I belong to the Department of Complexity Science and Engineering, the Department of Computer Science, and the Department of Information Science.

I earned my PhD from the University of Tokyo in 2021, advised by Prof. Masashi Sugiyama. During my PhD, I completed an Applied Scientist internship at Amazon.com and was fortunate to become a PhD Fellow at Google and a Research Fellow at JSPS (DC2). Prior to that, I spent some years in the finance industry, during which I worked as an Assistant Manager at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. I received the MSc from the University of Tokyo in 2017 and the Bachelor of Economics from Keio University in 2013.
