In a career spanning three continents, I obtained a PhD in economics from the University of Cambridge and am now a full professor of economics at Kyoto University, based in the Institute of Economic Research. My primary research field is evolutionary game theory. My early work incorporated shared intentions and collective agency into evolutionary models, introducing coalitional behavior into dynamic analyses of equilibrium emergence and selection. Subsequent work applied evolutionary game theory to bargaining, the evolution of preferences, collaboration, and contagion on networks. A major theme has been the Evolutionary Nash Program and the study of how evolutionary dynamics can generate or support outcomes studied in social choice and cooperative game theory. Aside from research, I have supported the field of evolution and learning in the profession, particularly through the Learning & Evolution in Games (LEG) organization, conferences, and seminars. I have also highlighted geographical disparities on journal editorial boards, publishing data that encouraged increased representation from Asian and Australasian regions. I am also a member of the standing committee of the Econometric Society in Asia, through which I work to improve professional structures for Asia in particular, and for the society as a whole.
