Research Subject(s)
My research interests focus on physical processes governing volcanic phenomena, particularly on boundary waves in solid-fluid system and seismic wave scattering in heterogeneous volcanic environment. I have also been working on the monitoring of active volcanoes in the Tohoku region.
