Resumen: Coastal engineering and coastal zone management are my primary research interests, and I have extensive experience performing surveys of coastal disasters and coastal processes in developing nations, including nations in Asia and Africa. I am currently studying coastal disasters caused by tsunamis and storm surges. Our team has performed field surveys of various coastal disaster areas, including those affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Central Java tsunami in 2006, Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh in 2007, Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, and the Samoan Islands tsunami in 2009. We have also performed numerical simulations of the tsunami and storm surges that occurred in these events and discussed future countermeasures to prevent coastal disasters.
