About Me

Welcome! I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. I was previously a Research Fellow for Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

I study the domestic imprint of international relations using computational and experimental methods. My research focuses on how direct and indirect encounters with war shape critical societal outcomes, from national cohesion to foreign policy and security attitudes in the short and long term. My broader interests include post-conflict state-building and the links between music and politics. My articles have been published or are forthcoming in peer-reviewed journals, including Journal of Peace Research and BMC Public Health.

I received my BA (2019) and MA (2021) in Political Science from Waseda University, Japan. Outside of academic work, I enjoy playing the violin and cheering for Cardinals.
