MORIMOTO Takeshi: Professor Ph.D.; Department/Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering　 Graduate school/Electronic Engineering

We make practical application of remote sensing technologies that measure the nature of objects from a distance using specific properties such as electromagnetic emissions. We also develop equipment and perform observations and analyses on various subjects, such as phenomena that cause disasters to happen, the Earth’s environment, etc.
