Kimiro MEGURO is a Professor at The University of Tokyo, specializing in disaster management, earthquake engineering, and the Applied Element Method (AEM). Their research focuses on structural analysis, particularly for nonlinear materials and dynamic loading scenarios. MEGURO has conducted extensive studies on the behavior of RC structures, masonry walls, and concrete-frame collapse under seismic conditions. They have also explored synthetic aperture radar-based damage assessment and retrofitting techniques for masonry buildings using fiber-reinforced polymers. Their work emphasizes the simulation of structural responses to earthquakes and the development of efficient analytical methods for disaster mitigation.
