■ Academic and professional experience
|
■ Message
|
I have specialized in urban and regional planning, development, policy, and design by integrating practical, research, and teaching experiences. I have various professional work experiences in both international and domestic consultancy services in the field of planning and development. These practical experiences cover projects at different spatial scales ranging from master planning through urban (re)development to the land utilization of an individual site. These projects include those funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency or the Japan External Trade Organization. My experiences include countries, such as Mongolia, Qatar, Ghana, Vietnam, Pakistan, China, Philippines, and Japan. After accumulating practical experiences, I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Nicholas A. Phelps and Prof. Dr. John Tomaney. My interests include spatial and (sub)urban policies and planning, international comparative planning studies, (sub)urban and architectural analysis and design, regional and rural development, international development, sustainable and resilient development, economic development, shrinking cities, smart cities, disaster management (especially, water-related disasters amid climate change), historic preservation, and interdisciplinary approaches for the built and natural environments among urban and regional planning and design, architecture, civil engineering, public policies, and urban economics. I am very welcome to have research or practical collaborations (including ones with students) based on my interests above.
