Brief Introduction
地震や火山等の理学的な研究と、災害軽減に資する社会科学を含む学際的な研究を行っています。 東北大学大学院理学研究科地球物理学専攻および地学専攻の兼任教員として、これらの専攻に所属する学生の指導も行っています。
I am a free-style researcher interested in earthquakes, volcanoes, and other associated phenomena, and in inter-disciplinary research for raising preparedness against future disasters. I am also an adjoint faculty of the Graduate School of Science of Tohoku University (Geophysics and Geoscience) and I am supervising master's and doctoral students of the graduate school.
