New undergraduate students have joined!
As a result of this year's laboratory assignments, the following five new undergraduate students have joined our research group: Takumi Konoshima, Shuya Saito, Haruya Shimokawadoko, Haru Tanaka, Kosuke Miyajima Let's all enjoy our research together and build an even better research group!
Presentation Award, 60th Annual conference of Japanese Geotechnical Engineering Society
Yoshifumi Kondo, who completed his master's program this spring, has been awarded the “Presentation Award, 60th Annual conference of Japanese Geotechnical Engineering Society”. Congratulations! Paper Title: Constitutive modeling of expansive soft rock considering degradation of cementation due to dry-wet cycles
Visiting the Noto Peninsula to collect diatomaceous mudstone.
We traveled to the Noto Peninsula to collect diatomaceous mudstone for use in experiments. We were able to collect samples in the desired state, so this should lead to good research.
Participated in the 16th Environmental Geotechnical Engineering Symposium and presented a research
The 16th Symposium on Environmental Geotechnical Engineering (September 25-26, Toyama Prefectural Civic Center) was attended, with M2 student Haruki Zaima presenting research from our laboratory. Thanks to thorough preparation, he was able to engage effectively with other researchers, and we hope this experience will benefit our future work. As this was a conference we don't […]
The part of the graduate school entrance examination
The entrance examination for the graduate school was held on August 20 and 21. Three undergraduate students from our laboratory took the exam. Before the results are announced, we had a party at a churrasco restaurant as a consolation for the students who took the entrance examination with recommendation in July. Thank you very much […]
Participated in the 13th Bentonite Study Group meeting
We attended the 13th Bentonite Study Group meeting held on August 6 at the University of Tokyo Hongo Campus. We studied and discussed a wide range of topics related to mineral properties from coupled analysis to actual disposal of bentonite. This time, Ueno, a first-year master's student, also participated, and I think it was a […]
Participated in and presented at the 60th Annual conference of Japanese Geotechnical Society
We attended the 60th Annual conference of Japanese Geotechnical Society held in Shimonoseki from July 22 to 24. Two current students and two alumni from our laboratory gave presentations. We practiced thoroughly until the day before, and I think the presentations went well. It was also a good opportunity to exchange opinions during the question-and-answer […]
Participated in and presented at the 3rd International Conference on Energy Geotechnics (ICEGT-2025).
From June 16 to 19, I participated in The 3rd International Conference on Energy Geotechnics (ICEGT-2025) held in Paris and presented a research. Since the field of Energy Geotechnics is quite broad, the content of the presentations varied widely. However, they focused on experimental and analytical investigations of gas, thermal, and chemical effects on soil and ground, […]
Rearrangement of student and meeting rooms
We have rearranged the student meeting room. Although there is no before and after photos, I think it is now simpler and easier to use than before. Thank you to all the lab members for your hard work. Now that the environment is ready, let's continue to work hard on our research!
2024 Paper Award (English Division), Japnese Geotechnical Engineering Society
We won the 2024 Paper Award from the Japanese Geotechnical Engineering Society for "Linking inherent anisotropy with liquefaction phenomena of granular materials by means of DEM analysis, Soils and Foundations Vol.65, No.2 (2024)”. I fondly remember discussing the analysis results with the lead author, Mr. Otsubo, Professor Koseki, and others, and trying to explain the relationship between […]
