The aim of JSPS’s RONPAKU (Dissertation PhD) Program is to provide
tutorial and financial support to promising young researchers in Asia
who wish to obtain their PhD degrees from Japanese universities through
the submission of a dissertation without going through a doctoral
course. Grantees under the program (RONPAKU Fellows) are given the
opportunity to visit their Japanese advisor once a year to receive
direct supervision at the Japanese university where they will submit
their PhD thesis.
As a faculty at University of Aizu, Japan, I am interested to guide
interested students through this program. Please note that Univ of Aizu
is a computer science oriented university and the degree will be in
computer science and engineering. Research topics of interest to me
include.
1. Regional Weather/climate prediction research through dynamical
modelling
2. Distributed Geophysical Visualisation algorithms and implementation
using Ruby Language.
3. Application of Machine Learning to Climate and Weather Research.
4. Reconfigureable computing for high performance weather/climate
modelling.
