Academic Staff and Fellows

MICHIOKA Takenobu: Professor Doctor of Enginnering; Department/Mechanical Engineering　 Graduate school/Mechanical Engineering

We are working to elucidate and model the detailed behavior of flows, heat, and materials, such as inside mechanical equipment like chemical reactors and in flow fields in the environment. We also do research to develop practical numerical models helpful to industry.
