Website
ITO Hiroaki
Assistant Professor
Research
Introduction
Coastal and Ocean Engineering Laboratory KIM Sooyoul
Associate Professor		 Physics-based and data-driven models are developed for coastal and ocean risk assessments due to storm surges, waves, tides, river flow, rainfall, runoff, backflow from drainage systems, and flooding. Then, we contribute to mitigating the risk along the coast and sustainability in the urban coastal area.
Website
