My current research interests include:

(1)   Water pollutant loads in the river and pollutant discharge of domestic wastewater, and dissemination and environmental education in the field of water quality problems;

(2)   Water quality profiles in the ambient water including rivers and lakes;

(3)   International development assistance in the fields of water and sanitation;

(4)   Eco-tourisms; and

(5)   Environmental education in schools and universities especially in elementary and high schools;

 

In the five research fields above, from #1 to #3 will be main research topics and #4 and #5 will be sub-themes. Based on availability my research resources including financial, time, devices and interested students, I will focus on #1-3. If more research resources are available, I will also conduct researches on #4 and #5.

 

My teaching interests include:

(1)   Water treatment and wastewater treatment engineering (Undergraduate and graduate levels);

(2)   Pollutant load analysis and statistic analysis of environment data including economic parameters (Undergraduate and graduate levels);

(3)   International development assistance in the fields of water and sanitation (Undergraduate and graduate levels);

(4)   Water and food (Undergraduate level); and

(5)   Environment education focusing on that in Japan (Undergraduate level).
