I am a PhD candidate in Japanese Studies at the National University of Singapore. I recently finished my one-year fieldwork in Japan as a Guest Scholar at Meiji University and as a Japanese Studies PhD Research Fellow of the Japan Foundation. 

I specialize in Japanese studies, feminist cultural studies, and somatechnics, with particular attention to menstruation and femtech in contemporary Japan. My research examines how period-tracking apps and related technologies mediate bodily experience, temporal awareness, and affective life, and how these practices are shaped by broader cultural norms, technological infrastructures, and demographic governance. 

I am also interested in the portrayal of menstruation in popular culture (e.g. manga and film) and in infrastructure (e.g. Otohime). 

In my spare time, I play board games. I am also a furmom to a senior pomeranian.
