Graduate School of Engineering, Division of Architecture and Architectural Engineering Associate Professor
kyoto-u.ac.jpOur research focuses on building materials used for both interior and exterior finishes, as well as structural components such as reinforced concrete members. By analyzing various factors—including constituent materials, pore structures, and the behavior of water within the materials—we aim to evaluate and predict material performance and condition. This work contributes to the assessment of building durability and the development of effective maintenance strategies.
As part of this effort, we actively promote interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers in fields such as nanotechnology and microbial ecology. Through these partnerships, we are working to advance sensing technologies that can capture information previously inaccessible or difficult to obtain in the field of architecture.
