Professional Summary
Assistant Professor at Kyushu University (from Dec. 2024). Specializes in electromagnetic (EM) exploration using electromagnetic induction. Research focuses on geothermal resources, seafloor massive sulfides, and volcanic structures. Developing EM monitoring methods using controlled sources and a novel drone-based EM survey system.
My Research
I specialize in electromagnetic (EM) exploration — geophysical imaging of subsurface structures without drilling. My primary targets are geothermal resources, seafloor massive sulfides, and volcanic structures.
I am actively developing EM monitoring methods using controlled artificial sources (enabling eruption precursor detection, geothermal reservoir monitoring, CO₂ sequestration monitoring) and a novel drone-mounted EM survey system to overcome access restrictions in volcanic and geothermal regions.
Feel free to reach out for collaborations or inquiries.
