Muneyoshi Numada is a lecturer at the University of Tokyo, specializing in disaster management. His research focuses on the seismic performance of masonry structures and the development of retrofitting techniques using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and polypropylene (PP) band meshes. He investigates the behavior of retrofitted buildings under shake table testing and evaluates the effectiveness of various strengthening methods. Additionally, he explores the integration of smart technologies, such as smart watches and geographic information systems (GIS), to identify critical post-earthquake rescue areas. His work also includes analyzing disaster response strategies and the impact of natural hazards on infrastructure, particularly in Japan and other regions.
