Backgroud

I joined the school of Engineering at Cardiff University in 2010 after postdoctoral studies at RIKEN, UCLA and University of Cambridge. I received my Ph.D in Mathematics at Hokkaido University in 2001.

Research Interests

My primary research interests are developments of practical computational algorithms mainly computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics and biomechanics, and those applications to scientific and industrial problems.
Key words: computational fluid dynamics, level set methods, CIP-CSL methods, multi-moment methods, Volume of Fluid, particle dynamics, multi-phase flows, droplet, dynamic contact angle, bio-fluid, fluid-structure interaction, fracture, XFEM, inkjet, atomization.
