This page shows what I’m doing now. Updated 31 Dec 2025 from my home in Yokohama.

Working as an Engineer in DNV

It’s business as usual. If you’re interested in my professional work, please visit my LinkedIn profile.

Graduate Study at the University of Tokyo

I’m pursuing graduate study (currently a Master’s, aiming for a PhD) in hydrodynamics at the Marine Hydrodynamic Laboratory. My research focuses on nonlinear wave forces and hydroelasticity. I started in October 2025, so I’m still adjusting to the balance of work, study, and life.

The classes I’m currently taking:

  • Advanced Simulation Technology: Introduction to advanced simulation technologies, with a focus on fluid dynamics using the Finite Volume Method and particle methods.
  • Technical and Scientific Computing II: Parallel programming for large-scale scientific computing using MPI on the University of Tokyo’s Wisteria/BDEC-01 Supercomputer.
  • Maritime Big Data and Satellite Utilization: How ocean data are produced, where to find them, and how to analyze in-situ, satellite, reanalysis, and forecast datasets using maritime big-data servers.
  • Systems Innovation Project 1 (CD1): Basically a reading assignment. I’m reading “Nonlinear Waves and Offshore Structures” by C. H. Kim.
