I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Uehiro Division for Applied Ethics within the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hiroshima University.
I earned my PhD in Philosophy from Hokkaido University in March 2025, where I was also affiliated with the Center for Human Nature, Artificial Intelligence, and Neuroscience (CHAIN), an interdisciplinary hub for integrated research.
My primary research focuses on the philosophy and experimental philosophy of free will, with a specific interest in analyzing philosophical intuitions. My work also extends to metaphilosophy, exploring the relationship between philosophical expertise and the reliability of those intuitions. Additionally, I contribute to the field of bioethics and medical ethics, where I examine the concept of autonomy for both patients and healthcare providers.
Currently, as a member of the Uehiro Division, I investigate the ethical implications of emerging technologies. My research projects encompass stem cell technology—including human brain organoids (HBOs), embryonic research, and the "14-day rule"—as well as the ethics of mobility.
I grew up in Morioka, a city in northeastern Japan; the cover photo here captures its city center in summer. The mountain visible in the center of the photo is Mount Iwate.
