I am an assistant professor at Center for Computational Social Science (CCSS) of the Research Institute for Economics and Business Administration (RIEB), Kobe University. Previously, I was an Institute of Innovative Research (IIR) postdoctoral fellow in Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology (FIRST) at Tokyo Institute of Technology, as well as postdoctoral fellow at School of Artificial Intelligence, Optics, and Electronics (iOPEN), Northwestern Polytechnical University. I received my Ph.D in Economics from Osaka City University in 2019, with a focus on computational economics.
My research interests lie in exploring the evolution, provision, and maintenance of public and common goods in both natural and social settings. I apply theoretical models based on evolutionary game theory and energy flows, as well as conduct behavioral studies on cooperation, trust, and fairness in humans. My work particularly focuses on investigating the impact of social structure on group formation, polarization, and other key aspects of social life that affect collective action and the provision of public and common goods.
