ABOUT US

We conduct research on water environments such as rivers and lakes and human health using various methods such as fieldwork, genetic analysis, mathematical modeling, and machine learning.
We always welcome students and postdoc researchers (PDs) who are interested in our research topics. If you need more information, please feel free to contact us.
