Supervisor
Associate Professor / Wataru YAMAZAKI
Prof. Yamazaki is a very kind and friendly person. He often comes to check on the students and have small talk with students. He also let students free to decide the content and direction of their research. When students discuss and consult with him about their research, he gives them detailed and careful advice.
Research Content
Our research topics are related with fluid dynamics, CFD technology and optimization technology. For instance, we are developing a new concept of supersonic aircrafts, a flapping wing micro air vehicle as dragonflies and a highly efficient vertical axis wind turbine. These researches will contribute to improving the fuel consumption of aircraft and the power generation of wind turbines. Furthermore, we are developing optimization methods, uncertainty analysis methods and CFD methods. These researches will help increase the speed of manufacturing by reducing the cost of computations.

A Day in the Lab
Prof. Yamazaki respects student’s personal life, so it’s not decided ordinarily what time we should come to the laboratory. We can manage our own time. Thus, some students come to the laboratory in the morning and some come to the lab in the afternoon. We need to report weekly progress and have a seminar to introduce English journal papers. For that, there are a few hours of core time in a week that we have to spend doing research. Lab-mates are very friendly, so we often go to dinner and hang out together after the core time.
