In terms of teaching, I bring extensive experience from both European and Asian academic institutions. I have taught a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Microeconomics, Game Theory, Environmental Economics (with a focus on natural resources and climate change), Development Economics, and Experimental Economics. My teaching philosophy emphasizes clarity, engagement, and applicability. I aim to ground theoretical concepts in real-world data and policy contexts, and I frequently incorporate advanced statistical tools, such as machine learning, to enhance quantitative reasoning skills among students.
In the classroom, I integrate innovative pedagogical tools, including online classroom simulations and interactive games, to provide students with a hands-on, experiential learning environment. I also emphasize collaborative learning by encouraging students to critique academic articles and present their ideas. These approaches are designed to foster independent thinking, communication skills, and confidence—qualities that are vital for students aspiring to careers in academia, policy, or the private sector.
At present, I am completing a UK postgraduate certificate in higher education, which reflects my commitment to continual growth as an educator. During my three-year term as a junior professor in Japan, I developed and delivered new courses to Japanese and international students from diverse academic backgrounds. My ability to adapt content to students with varied exposure to economics and public policy has consistently earned positive feedback. Moreover, I am flexible and willing to co-teach or design modules beyond my current specialization, based on the needs of the department.
