Satoshi Shiraga

Satoshi Shiraga is the cofounder and CEO of Cellid Inc. (Japan), a developer of augmented reality (AR) waveguide technology. With over 20 years of experience in the field of optical design, Satoshi has been instrumental in advancing AR glasses, focusing on high-performance waveguides that enable the sleek, lightweight, and high-resolution devices needed for widespread AR adoption.

Before founding Cellid, Satoshi conducted particle physics research at prestigious institutions including CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, U.S.), and INFN (National Institute for Nuclear Physics, Italy). He holds a master’s degree in physics from Waseda University Graduate School, where he specialized in particle physics, and was later invited to serve as a researcher at Waseda University.
