I am a Senior Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Okayama University. Before joining Okayama University, I was a Research Associate at Kobe University.

My research lies at the intersection of international relations, political communication, and Chinese politics. I examine how China communicates legitimacy, international order, and political narratives through state media, public diplomacy, and public discourse. Empirically, my work focuses on topics including Chinese state media, public perceptions of democracy, authoritarian persuasion, human rights naming and shaming, and global governance discourse, using quantitative text analysis, computational methods, and survey experiments.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Kobe University in 2023, and my work has appeared in or is forthcoming at The International Journal of Press/Politics, Democratization, International Interactions, Social Science Computer Review, Journal of Chinese Political Science, Journal of Human Rights, Asian Journal of Communication, and Journal of Contemporary East Asia Studies.
