略歴／Profile

学部卒業後、開発援助の実務を行う財団に三年間勤務したのち、政策研究大学院大学の国際開発プログラムに入学、開発経済学に出会う。修士の間に国連開発計画（UNDP）ザンビア事務所で半年間インターンを行い、その後の進路に悩むも、意味のある開発援助を行うには諸問題の仕組みや背景を理解することが不可欠で、そのための分析能力が決定的に足りないことを実感し、博士課程へ進学。2003年よりカリフォルニア大学デイビス校農業資源経済学科で学ぶ。博士論文では、発展途上国の農産物流通をテーマに、ガーナでのフィールドワークをベースに理論、実証の論文をまとめ、2008年Ph.D.取得。2008-2012年政策研究大学院大学助教授、2012年より東京大学大学院新領域創成科学研究科講師、2015年より同准教授、2020年より同教授。実務と学問の世界の懸け橋となるような研究を目指しています。

Having worked for three years following my undergraduate studies at a non‐profit foundation that manages development assistance, I entered the master’s program on International Development Studies at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan, where I first studied development economics. During the master’s program, I worked at the United Nations Development Programme Zambia Country Office for half a year. After obtaining the master’s degree, I was at crossroads about whether I should go back to work in aid agencies or continue with higher studies. I chose the latter because I felt a strong need to learn the analytical skills required to understand the factors behind development issues. Then, in 2003, I enrolled in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Davis. I wrote a doctoral thesis on agricultural marketing systems in developing countries, which was theoretically and empirically based on fieldwork in Ghana, and obtained my Ph.D. in 2008. Coming back to Japan, I worked as an assistant professor at GRIPS between 2008-2012. I worked as an assistant professor at the Department of International Studies, the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, the University of Tokyo between 2012-2015 and as an associate professor between 2015-2020 and have been a professor since 2020. I aim to conduct research that bridges the gap between practice and academia.
