Takahiko Kurahashi is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Nagaoka University of Technology. He received B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in Civil Engineering from Chuo University in Tokyo. He then worked for 2 years as a consultant for water-related work such as rivers, waterworks and sewage and returned to Chuo University to obtain a D.Eng. in 2007. After working as a researcher at Kyushu University, he began in 2008 his academic career at the Nagaoka University of Technology. In the past decade, he has focused on inverse analysis to determine optimal shape and state, a research area that is a forerunner of Digital Twin technology.
