My research focuses on the history of science and of media in modern Japan, as well as print culture, the distribution and transmission of information through both formal and informal networks, and intersections of gender, science, and information technologies. I’m also interested in writing technologies and the circulation of information vectors during the modern period, along with the history of physics in Japan.

My current research projects include an investigation into a physics laboratory, the networks of scientists and researchers branching out from projects undertaken there, and the micro-history of a scientific dictionary used in the lab’s reading room, as well as looking into educational radio broadcasting.
