I'm an assistant professor with the Ritsumeikan Global Innovation Research Organization (R-GIRO) at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto Japan. My research interests include paleodemography with a focus on residential mobility as well as 3D applications in archaeology.

My academic connection to Japan began during my undergrad at the University of Florida where I minored in Japanese and anthropology. When undertaking my master's degree I decided to combine these two interests through an investigation of Jomon period population changes. This research continued after receiving a Monbukagakusho research scholarship which continued on into my doctoral research at Ritsumeikan university into how data from pithouse dwellings could inform us of possible residental mobility changes during the Middle Jomon period.

My interest in 3D applications in archaeology developed from an ongoing project to measure and estimate material and energy costs associated with pithouse construction through the use of 3D scans. Since that initial project, related 3D projects have broadened to include the scanning of a variety of different archaeologically related subjects including pottery recovered from an underwater archaeological site in Lake Biwa, excavations in Shiga and Yamanashi prefectures, and large stone circle sites in the northern reaches of Japan.
