I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the Graduate School of Humanities and Sciences at Ochanomizu University, Tokyo. I am a theoretical linguist working on natural language semantics and pragmatics.
Prior to joining Ochanomizu University, I completed my PhD in linguistics in 2023 at the University of Connecticut, under the supervision of Stefan Kaufmann.
At Ochanomizu, I organize a joint seminar on formal semantics with Bekki Lab.
