About​
​
I am an associate professor of philosophy at Hiroshima University. My main research area is philosophy of mind, broadly construed (including philosophy of psychology,  philosophy of psychiatry, and early modern philosophy of mind). 

​I obtained my MA (2008) and PhD (2014) at University of Tokyo. I was also a visiting student at Yale (2008-2010) and MIT (2011-2012), and a research fellow at Birmingham (2013-2014).   

JSPS Fellowship

I welcome early-career researchers who wish to apply for JSPS Fellowships for international applicants as well as for domestic applicants. Contact me for details.
