KIKUCHI Yuka

KIKUCHI Yuka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of CE at The University of Tokyo. Her research focuses on wind engineering and structure dynamic analysis, including anomaly detection of wind turbine and assessment of wind energy cost. She is affiliated with the Bridge and Wind Engineering Laboratory, where she collaborates with other faculty and students. Her work contributes to the understanding of structural behavior under wind loads and the optimization of wind energy systems.

Yuka Kikuchi is a researcher at The University of Tokyo, focusing on wind energy and environmental fluid dynamics. Her work explores the impact of geographical features on local wind patterns, such as mountain effects on land and sea breezes in the Kanto district. She also investigates the technical and economic aspects of wind energy systems, including offshore wind farms, floating platforms, and cost analysis. Her research includes fatigue prediction in wind turbine components and the use of advanced modeling techniques for wind and wave simulations. Additionally, she examines the health and maintenance of wind energy systems through prognostics and anomaly detection.
