I am an atmospheric scientist, and my research interests extend to severe storms including heavy rains, gusty winds, tornadoes, and tropical cyclones, turbulent flows and dispersion over urban districts and complex terrains, and atmospheric transport processes such as Asian dust and volcanic ash. The key words in my research topics are convection, turbulence, and advection. Based on the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of the environmental fluids, I am working in the areas of meteorology, atmospheric sciences, and the related fields, and exploring interdisciplinary areas between atmospheric sciences and the related engineering fields.
