PDF versionYoshihiro Kobayashi
Dr. Yoshihiro Kobayashi received a PhD degree with a major in Architecture on Design Computation and a minor in Computer Science from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2001. After completing the program, he worked at Arizona State University's School of Architecture for 8 years teaching a series of courses on computer programming languages including 2D/3D application development, information management, algorithmic design, and fabrications. At ASU, Dr. Kobayashicompleted several interdisciplinary research projects funded more than $100K and advised MS and PhD students from architecture, urban planning, design and art, electric engineering, and computer science programs.
Outside of ASU, Dr. Kobayashi has chaired several symposiums and workshops and also organized an international research group with sixteen professors who are exploring methods for virtual reality (VR) urban modeling and visualization. He has published more than 50 technical and design papers on design computation in architecture. Dr. Kobayashi currently teaches game development courses as a focal coordinator for the Game Certificate program at CIDSE.
