Academic, technical and professional writing. I am particularly interested in academic literacy, the production of texts, statistical analysis of texts and the use of educational technology to help writers produce texts. My current research draws on corpus linguistics to analyze texts and computational linguistics to create rule-based and probabilistic-based pattern-searching tools or pipelines.

My research goal is to improve English language guidelines in technical communication, better analyse the process of information design, and understand the usage of usability techniques in a way such that complex online and mechanical procedures related to end-user software and hardware usage offer better affordances. I am currently designing graphical queuing techniques for static illustrations and supported English text used for online instructions in educational contexts. Currently, my Kakenhi research project is focused on task-based language teaching based on in-class additive manufacturing processes such as LEGO prototyping, 3D scanning and 3D printing.
