About Me

I am a lecturer at the University of Osaka. My current interest is computational neurolinguistics: Investigating human sentence processing in the brain by leveraging computational models.

Before joining the University of Osaka, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at University of Tokyo (Yohei Oseki’s lab). I had obtained my Ph.D in Linguistics from the Department of Linguistics at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During my Ph.D years, I lost my advisor (Sam Epstein). However, I got lucky to have Acrisio Pires and Marlyse Baptista as my advisors. Since my Ph.D period, I’ve been collaborating with my colleagues, Alan Ke and Andrew McInnerney.

Research Interests

• Computational Neurolinguistics: naturalistic methods; cognitive modeling; fMRI, MEG, EEG
