My research interests include comparative area studies, socio-economic development, labour markets, employment, and employment agencies, with a particular focus on Japan, China, and East Asia.

At the Nissan Institute, I am involved in courses related to Japanese business and economy, as well as a translation project.

I am currently turning my DPhil thesis into a book, titled 'Labour Market Players in Japan and China: The rise of employment agencies'. My recent article on Japan's new labour market reforms can be viewed here: The 'new trinity' reform of labour markets in Japan
