He holds affiliations with the Oriental Museum through collaborative projects on anime archives.
Previously, he served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Keio University, and taught at Loughborough University and Birkbeck, University of London. His current monograph project explores anime franchises' transmedia ecologies and their socio-cultural impacts.
