Profile | Takahito Mikami is currently working as an associate professor in the Department of Urban and Civil Engineering of Tokyo City University. He received his Doctorate degree in Engineering from Waseda University, Japan. Formerly, he was an assistant professor in the International Center for Science and Engineering Programs of Waseda University, Japan. His research field is coastal engineering especially coastal disasters, such as tsunami, storm surge, and high waves. He joined many international post-disaster field survey teams: 2009 Samoa Islands tsunami, 2010 Chile tsunami, 2010 Mentawai Islands tsunami, 2011 Tohoku tsunami, 2012 Hurricane Sandy storm surge, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan storm surge, 2018 Sulawesi tsunami, 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami. Based on the results of these field surveys, he analyses the mechanisms of disasters and physical and social vulnerabilities of each coastal area. He is also interested in conducting numerical simulation and hydraulic experiments for understanding the process of generation, propagation, and inundation of tsunami, storm surge, and high waves and their impacts on coastal communities. |
