I have started working in Yokohama National University since 2007.
I have been involved with working in the fields of soil quality tests and surveys, soil stabilization, ground improvement techniques, and geotechnical structures in transportation for the past 25 years. I am interested to develop my research themes to a wider range including natural disaster prevention and ground modification techniques, infrastructure management such as railroads, highways etc. I am willing to accept students from other universities and technical colleges into my research group in the laboratory.

Geomaterials are a mixture of solid, liquid and gas, which exhibits complex but fascinating behavior. We are tackling challenging topics on such material to overcome the limitations of current geomechanics. In particular, our primary approach is to develop a rational model to predict mechanical and hydraulic behavior of geomaterials with a smaller number of simplified assumptions. We are a group of enthusiastic researchers and students from different regions of the world. I hope that you will enjoy visiting our website and that the visit will inspire you.．

I have started working in Yokohama National University since 2017.
In my research group, we are working on issues related to the design and construction, and the effect of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes on geotechnical structures such as tunnels and river embankment facilities. In addition, we are also working on the long-term stability and safety issues of geotechnical structures due to the deterioration caused by the aging of geomaterials. I am interested not only in the basic research of geomechanics but also its application to a much wider research area.
