Biography
I received a scholarship from the Government of Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to complete my master and doctoral degrees in Japan. My Ph.D. research was about the reconstruction of Japan after facing the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunamis, and nuclear accident. Before becoming a lecturer at the Faculty of Psychology, I started my career as a specially appointed assistant professor at Tohoku Forum for Creativity, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
