I am an Assistant Professor of the Department of Management and Human Resources at the Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

My research spans the areas of inter-firm and intra-firm employee mobility, resource allocation, diversification, and innovation. My job market paper studies human capital selection and innovation outcomes of external and internal mobility on an economy-wide scale in the context of Japan's industrialization from the late 19th-early 20th century. The paper was awarded the 2023 Best Conference Paper Prize of the Strategic Human Capital group of the Strategic Management Society.

I also study firms' isolating mechanisms in the form of post-employment restrictive covenants such as non-compete agreements, with a particular focus on how firms' bundling of multiple restrictions relates to value appropriation and when firms strategically do not use non-competes even when they can. 

In 2024, I obtained a PhD degree in the major of Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, College Park. I obtained a bachelor's and a master's degree in commerce and management at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. 

My research has been supported by The PINE Foundation, the Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets, and the Japan Student Services Organization.
