Kentaro [Last Name]

Researcher in computational fluid dynamics — turbulence modeling, reduced-order methods, and high-dimensional data compression. [Affiliation / Position]

Research Interests

My work centers on the structure hidden inside turbulent flows: how swirling flows in gas-turbine combustors break down, where RANS-based models fail and why, and how modal decomposition (POD/DMD) can compress flow fields with hundreds of millions of degrees of freedom into a handful of interpretable modes. Recently, I have been extending the same reduced-order philosophy beyond fluids — toward interpretable low-dimensional representations of music and images.

Projects

ONGOING

An interpretable coordinate space for music

Independent project. Designing a ~8-dimensional embedding for songs with physical and perceptual grounding — structurally analogous to POD mode extraction — as an alternative to tag-based music search.

ONGOING

Real-time AI retouching pipeline for photographers

Independent project. An end-to-end workflow that delivers style-personalized, retouched JPGs to the iPhone Photos app within minutes of a shoot, while archiving RAW files on Mac.
