Adding to the above, recently we started new collaboration with medical science to form a new research base here in Kumamoto University.
Our goal is to bring enormous passion and creation that provides high quality of education in not only soil and rock engineering but also in other engineering or medical fields to graduate and postgraduate students seeking challenging careers.
