My Profile

About

Hajime Nakagawa is working as a Professor of Prevention Research Institute at Kyoto University since 1981 onwards. He obtained Bachelor, Master and Doctor Degree from Department of Civil Engineering in Kyoto University (Dissertation Title: Risk assessment of flood and debris flow). He is currently He was an Associate Professor in Sabo Section (1990), Anti-Flood Hazard Systems (1992) and Urban Flood Hazard in Bay Area (1995),under Disaster Prevention Research Institute and then Professor in Research Center for Fluvial and Coastal Disasters, DPRI, in 2001 Kyoto University. His main research topics are (1) mechanisms and prevention/mitigation schemes of flood and sediment disasters, (2) strength evaluation of river-disaster prevention facilities such as river dykes, (3) research on interdisciplinary hydraulics, and (4) echo-hydraulics, hydro science and hydraulic engineering.
