I am an atmospheric scientist, and my research interests extend to severe storms including heavy rains, gusty winds, tornadoes, and tropical cyclones, turbulent flows over urban districts and complex terrains, and atmospheric transport processes such as Asian dust. The key words in my research topics are convection, turbulence, and advection. Based on the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of the environmental fluids, I am working in the areas of meteorology and the related fields. In addition, I am interested in exploring interdisciplinary areas between atmospheric sciences and the related engineering fields. I am teaching mainly graduate students in division of earth and planetary sciences. My motivation for teaching is to develop technical experts who have sufficient potential to actively work in various fields including meteorology and the related disciplines. As a university teacher, I am interested in deepening our scientific knowledge and extending them to pre-university education. I am going to advance our knowledge and techniques through contributing to the activities in the academic societies.
