Profile | I have been working on numerical and experimental analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer in my research career. When I was a postgraduate student at the University of Tokyo, I devoted myself to the development of a new technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for massively parallel computing. After obtaining my PhD in 1996, I started my academic career at Tokyo University of Science where I had a chance to gain a lot of experience in experimental research of turbomachinery. Another opportunity to extend the range of my research interest came quickly after I moved to Tokyo City University (former Musashi Institute of Technology) in 1999: I became involved in projects related to automotive technology such as heat analysis in internal combustion engines and vehicle aerodynamics. I currently put my research focus on a wide range of numerical and experimental studies in biomechanics such as modelling of thrombogenesis in intracranial aneurysms, cardiovascular haemodynamics and heat transfer in the human abdomens. |
