My research topic is to solve problems caused by heat and humidity surrounding architectural and cultural properties by improving building performance and installing air conditioning systems. Details of the study are as follows.

- Study on the conservation and exhibition environment of the wall paintings inside the buildings of cultural properties
- Study on the mechanisms of salt weathering of ancient remains and methods to suppress deterioration
- Study on the heat, moisture, and salt transfer mechanisms in porous materials
- Study on the estimation of hygrothermal performance of building structure using machine learning

I have conducted field studies on the building environment, including temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and ventilation; experiments on the transfer properties of heat, moisture, or salt in porous materials; and simulations of hygrothermal environments for the purpose of improving the environment for conserving and exhibiting cultural properties.
Conservation science for cultural properties is an interdisciplinary research area where various fields such as chemical, physical, and biological overlap. I believe that better conservation methods can be found through interaction with people from various fields.
