Research field: Community disaster prevention, disastertraditional knowledge
I am conducting researches on community-based
regional disaster prevention/preparedness/mitigation inJapan, Asia, and the United States.
The target of disasters is natural disasters (fires, flood /landslide disasters, earthquakes, etc.).
The main research is base on the literature surveys(including old documents) and field surveys on
evacuation after a disaster, community-based housing
reconstruction, community-based disasterprevention/preparedness before a disaster (disastercountermeasures by fire brigades and regionalorganizations), and etc.
After graduating from University (undergraduate) in US,and working at a development consultant firm, then I
studied at the Graduate School of Global EnvironmentalStudies, Kyoto University.

Graduate School of Engineering,
Division of Mechanical Engineering and Science

Our research focuses on the development of functional
materials based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs),
porous molecular crystals, and metal-based selfassemblies. In addition, luminescent materials with highenergy efficiency are designed and synthesized for
applications such as sensors, photoswitches and lightemitting devices.

Heat, mass, and ion transport at the nanoscale wasexplored through the molecular dynamics and quantum
mechanics. Our research contributes to the fields ofenergy conversion, transport, and storage, with aparticular focus on advancing fuel cell technology.
