Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkihico Mori is a Kyoto-born journalist and media researcher based in London who explores the cultural friction between emerging technologies and humanity. With a decade of experience writing for outlets like WIRED Japan, Forbes Japan and MIT Technology Review, he reports on international tech culture—from cyborg competitions to media arts festivals—and translates complex science into compelling narratives. He pairs editorial work with brand journalism and consultancy for firms including PwC, Takram and Anyhow, helping shape long-form narratives around frontier science such as quantum computing. A Salzburg Global Fellow and former BBC content collaborator, he blends academic rigor (MA with Distinction from University of the Arts London) with hands-on production and cross-cultural reporting. His postgraduate research on science journalism during the COVID-19 infodemic reveals a practical focus on combating misinformation through collaborative newsroom strategies. Less obvious: he balances public-facing features with private fiction and journalistic projects, bringing a narrative imagination to technical subjects.
