教員名
Professor:
Yoshiya ODA

Associate Professor:
Mitsutoshi YOSHIMINE

Research Interests

Our group deals with earthquake and volcanic disaster prevention, exploration geophysics, mechanical properties of soil such as liquefaction resistance, and strength and deformation characteristics of soils. We aim to improve safety of urban cities through these varieties of research topics. We are also very active in international research corroborations and communications, and we are accepting numerous students from outside Japan.
