He completed his Doctor of Philosophy in 2001, and after taking up several academic posts in Japan, he has, since 2012, been Professor of History of British Art and Architecture at Ferris University, Yokohama, Japan, where he teaches the history of eighteenth- to twentieth-century British art, architecture and design. He is the author of several books on the subjects of 1) the interrelation between eighteenth- to twentieth-century British architecture and the Zeitgeist; 2) contemporary church architecture; and 3) the images of Christ as depicted by the members of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood and contemporary British painters. His recent publications in English include Robert and James Adam, Architects of the Age of Enlightenment (2012), which came out as part of the series The Enlightenment World, published by Pickering & Chatto in London.
