I'm a researcher specialising in quantitative analysis methods, including computational text analysis, network analysis, survey research, and mixed-methods approaches. At the moment I primarily work on political science and sociological issues such as misinformation, social polarisation, and conspiracy beliefs. I'm presently an Assistant Professor at the Waseda Institute of Advanced Studies (WIAS), a cross-disciplinary research institute at Waseda University in Tokyo. I also teach at Aoyama Gakuin University, and formerly taught graduate-level classes at the University of Milan. My teaching experience encompasses both political science topics and methodological courses in fields including empirical research design, statistical methods, machine learning, and social network analysis.I am also a co-founder and director of Tokyo Review, a non-profit online platform for publishing evidence-based writing and research on Japanese politics, economy and society.
