معرفی
Masato Sekine is a Professor at Waseda University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, School of Creative Science and Engineering, specializing in hydraulic engineering with a focus on urban flooding, river mechanics, and sediment transport. He holds a Doctor of Engineering degree from Waseda University and maintains an active research profile with numerous publications and ongoing projects.
His research interests encompass River Engineering, Hydraulics, River Mechanics, and Hydroengineering, with particular emphasis on urban flood risk assessment, sediment transport in mixed-grain rivers, and levee stability. Sekine's work bridges theoretical hydraulic principles with practical urban flood management applications, especially in Tokyo's complex urban environment.
Sekine's recent research output demonstrates a strong focus on urban flooding phenomena, with numerous papers analyzing flood processes in Tokyo's 23 wards, Kawasaki, and Yokohama during extreme rainfall events. His work examines the interactions between river systems, sewer networks, and urban infrastructure during flood events, providing critical insights for flood risk management in densely populated areas.
