Education Background

• PhD - Ocean Science, Tokyo University of Fisheries
• MSc - Ocean Science, Tokyo University of Fisheries
• BSc - Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Fisheries

Research Interests

• 3D flow features and turbulent mixing associated with topographic features, especially island wakes (Island Mass Effects).
• Biological enhancement due to mixing and upwelling.
• Physical and biological processes near the Subsurface Chlorophyll-a Maximum in the subtropical region.
• Water exchange of semi-closed bay and tidal land.
