Areas of specialization	History of rail transport
Laboratory/research office	Concrete Laboratory Our laboratory is working to develop refined concrete technology for the enhancement of the reliability of concrete structures. We have developed Air-enhanced Self-Compacting Concrete (air-SCC), a world first, through the application of micro bubbles to achieve economical self-compactability of fresh concrete. At the same time, we are investigating the application of this method to other materials.
Current reseach topics	Self-Compacting Concrete as a Standard Concrete Deevelopment of Sustainable Biomass Concrete History of Rail Transport
