Bio

Yumeko Imamura received the master degree of Information Science and Technology and Ph.D. in the field of Systems Science and Informatics from Hokkaido University, Japan, in 2011 and 2014 respectively. From 2014 to 2015, she served as a Research Fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science at Hokkaido University. She is currently a researcher of Human Augmentation Research Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and a researcher of CNRS-AIST Joint Robotics Laboratory, UMI3218/RL, Japan. Her research interests include biomechanics, human modeling, and power assistive technologies.

The publication list may not be complete, especially for publications prior to 2017. We are working on updating it.
