My PhD research analyzes the mechanisms of national energy transitions and the role of policies in them. Prior to my PhD, I was a researcher (currently as an external fellow) at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES:Hayama, Japan) where I conducted research on climate policies of major economies and attended international climate change negotiations as a National Delegate of Japan.
