Introduction

Name ISHIHARA Takeshi, Professor, Dr. Eng.
Institution Department of Civil Engineering
Introduction I was born in 1962 in Beijing and graduated from Tsinghua University, China. Later I earned Master's and a PhD of Civil Engineering in the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. I subsequently joined Institute of Technology, Shimizu Co. Ltd. as a researcher in 1992 and was engaged in environmental engineering and the wind resistant design of high rise buildings and development of respective technologies. I was appointed associate professor of Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Tokyo in 2000, moved to Institute of Engineering Innovation as associate professor in 2004 and was then promoted to full professor in Department of Civil Engineering in 2008. My research focus is in the field of wind resistant design and wind energy. I am best known for wind resource assessment, wind power forecasting, wind resistant design of wind turbine support structure and development of the floating offshore wind turbine system. Recently I was engaged in research projects such as “Short and long term environmental conditions forecasting for a safe and reliable society”, “Wind power forecasting based on meteorological models”, “Study on floating offshore wind turbine systems”and “Research and development of offshore wind power generation technology”.
