Haruo Igarashi serves as Assistant Professor at Waseda University's School of Advanced Science and Engineering since April 2025, following a Research Assistant position at the same institution (2022-2025). His academic foundation spans mathematics and physics across Japan's top universities. His educational pathway includes: Doctorate in Physics and Applied Physics (2022-2025), Waseda University Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering Master's in Pure and Applied Physics (2020-2022), Waseda University Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering Bachelor's in Mathematics (2016-2020), University of Tokyo Faculty of Science Dr. Igarashi pioneers human-computer interaction systems that translate abstract high-dimensional concepts into tangible experiences. His research integrates virtual reality with advanced haptics—particularly shape-memory alloy tactile displays and thermal feedback mechanisms—to enable intuitive exploration of 4D+ spaces. Key innovations include decomposing 4D force vectors for 3D haptic presentation and developing VR systems for scientific data visualization like XAFS analysis. His publication trajectory (2021-2025) reveals progressive refinement from foundational 4D interaction frameworks to applied medical/industrial implementations. Early work established core algorithms for tactile 4D navigation, while recent publications demonstrate practical applications in pain management and materials science, maintaining consistent focus on user-centered interface design. Recognition includes: Best Presentation Award from Information Processing Society of Japan (2021) for tactile 4D visualization research He leads the internal research project 'High-dimensional Space Interaction Using Force Feedback' (2023), which developed novel algorithms for projecting 4D force vectors into dual 3D haptic streams. His primary collaboration with Hideyuki Sawada spans 7 publications, creating an integrated pipeline from hardware (tactile sensors) to theoretical frameworks (4D spatial reasoning).
