I moved from the University of Tokyo to the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan, on April 1, 2025
My expertise includes hydrological and flood modelling (H08, SWAT, HEC-HMS, and IFAS), geographic information systems, data analysis, field experimentation, and incorporating human activities into hydrological models. Alongside my professional endeavours, I am an avid traveller currently based in Japan. I am eager to apply my skills and passion for environmental dynamics in challenging contexts worldwide, contributing to and learning from diverse landscapes.
