Gouki Minegishi

I’m a first-year PhD student at The University of Tokyo, mentored by Professor Yutaka Matsuo.

My research passion lies in mechanistic interpretability, where I unravel the internal mechanism that drive today’s AI systems, with the ultimate goal of understanding what truly constitutes human intelligence.
