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.
