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.

My research explores how societies experience, interpret, and respond to international conflict. I examine how wartime events shape political behavior, foreign policy attitudes, and state-building processes. Methodologically, I use computational methods and survey experiments to analyze domestic consequences of international relations. My work has been published or is 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.
