Research Themes

Research into the use of natural energy, focusing on the optimal design of small wind turbines

I conduct research into the use of natural energy resources, particularly the wind turbines. For small scale wind turbines, I proposed a new concept turbine, as emergency power sources or used as independent power sources in mountain or desert areas. Now a days, rapid spread of large scale wind turbine is desired. However, sometimes acoustic and/or vibration problem occur. As a fundamental study for reduction of these problem, generation mechanism study of these are now conducted.

Teaching Philosophy

I help create practical-minded graduates by providing training centered on logical thinking and logical expression, with the subject being wind-generated energy which has been attracting attention for both energy conservation and environmental protection reasons.
