Profile 1986, Born in Fukuoka, Japan. Doctor of Agriculture.
Assitant professor, Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design, Tokyo City University
I am studying wood materials and wood structures.
My main research interests are wood splitting mechanisms and strength estimation.
Other recent research topics include load-bearing walls and NLT (Nail Laminated Timber).
I am organizing a tournament called "KABEWAN GP" to determine the No.1 wooden load-bearing wall of originality and ingenuity.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Splitting: Failure Mode of Timber

    A method for estimating the strength of wood splitting fracture was proposed.

  2. (2) Wooden Shear Wall

    Development and research of practical and creative wooden shear walls.
