Our laboratory accepts the students from Department of Systems Innovation, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo. If you have a plan to study in our labratory, look at the homepage of Department of Systems Innovation. Also, please contact to here in advance.
Our laboratory conducts research using a variety of approaches, including numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, and field surveys. Regardless of which approach you choose, we encourage you to participate in field surveys whenever possible so that you can gain first-hand experience of the challenges and complexities of the ocean environment. If you are interested in joining our laboratory as a master's student, we will discuss your interests, background, and suitability, as well as your research aspirations, in order to determine an appropriate research topic. If you wish to pursue a doctoral degree, we recommend that you clearly define your research interests and the topic you would like to study before taking the entrance examination.
A two-hour laboratory meeting is held every two weeks. At each meeting, a few students mainly present their research progress. Since much of our research is based on fluid mechanics, students are expected to study this subject through presentations and discussions at the laboratory meetings, using the Systems Innovation Project (Tokubetsu Enshuu; Core Discipline) offered in the Department of Systems Innovation curriculum. Depending on your research interests and topic, other subjects, such as mathematical ecology, electrical engineering, control engineering, and machine learning, may be selected as your Core Discipline.

Lecture
We introduce the lecture provided at Dept. of Systems Innovation, Graduate School of Engineering, University of Tokyo.
Systems Innovation Projects (Group Work)
An eco ship driven by solar power and controlled autonomously is developed. This is the first step of students toward the realization of sustainable and low-carbon societies. We join the 'Crewless Solar Boat Competition in Lake Biwa' and won the race in spite of the boat capsizing in 2018!

Complex Fluid System Modeling
This course introduces a fundamental concept and knowledge of mathematical modeling of complex fluid systems related to the design of transportation system,
the prediction of ocean environment, etc. The basic equations and the general concept of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are introduced:
basic concepts of fluid flow, finite difference scheme, solution of linear equation systems, methods for unsteady flow, etc.
The CFD technique is then applied to large-scale fluid systems. This course is basically provided by English language,
with Japanese language for key technical terms. This course is open every two years (even year) from 2014.
