I'm interested in people and stories. Recently, I'm looking into the intersection of digital transformation with cultural patterns and everyday life in Japan, mainland China, and Taiwan. My work examines bottom-up experiments in digital place-making and their role in shaping construction of locality and nationhood—including regional revitalization initiatives, digital nomadism, relational populations (kankei jinkō), and Web3-based community governance.
I'll be joining the Harvard-Yenching Institute as an STS research fellow for the academic year of 2025-2026.
I previously served as a Japan Foundation Fellow (2023–2024) at Waseda University, where I conducted multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork across Tokyo, Niigata, Fukushima, Tokushima, and Hokkaido for my doctoral dissertation.
My research foci:
sociocultural anthropology, digital technology and media,
mobility and migration, science and technology studies,
comparative social analysis, East Asia
