I am pleased to report that I have received the 21st Itakura Prize Innovative Young Researcher Award (令和8年 独創研究奨励賞 板倉記念) from the Acoustical Society of Japan.
This year, the award was given for my work titled “Digital Twin–based Optimization of Acoustic Holograms.” The prize recognizes original contributions by early-career researchers in acoustics, and it is a great honor to be included among the recipients.
I am grateful to my collaborators, students, and mentors whose support made this work possible. I look forward to continuing to explore acoustic field design, levitation, and their integration with emerging physical AI systems.
