PhD Candidate in Hydrology, Fukushima University, Japan
Suspended sediment dynamics • Climate change • Compound flooding • River continuum

About

I study hydrology and fluvial–coastal systems in a changing climate, focusing on how hydrological and geomorphological processes shape suspended sediment dynamics from mountain headwaters to river mouths. My research also explores extreme events, with the aim of developing data-driven hazard assessment tools and resilience-oriented adaptation strategies. I am currently a PhD candidate at Fukushima University, supervised by Prof. Yoshiyuki Yokoo.

Research interests

Climate change and hydrological impacts
