Academic Degree
Ph. D. (Maths)
Field of Specialization
Applied Mathematics, Dynamical Systems, Fluid Dynamics
Outline Activities
Engaging in research in applied mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems and their application to fluid dynamics. This latter activity is directed towards understanding the transition of shear flows from laminar to turbulent regimes, and understanding the mechanisms that sustain turbulence.

In education I am designing and delivering a number of mathematics courses, from 1st year to the 3rd year of the undergraduate program.

I also am actively engaged in promoting the internationalisation of Kyushu university.
