We are pleased to welcome Prof. David Lau from Carleton University, Canada, newly appointed as specially appointed professor at Science Tokyo!
This is his second appointment as specially appointed professor, the first dating back to 2016-2017, when he collaborated with Professor Emeritus Kazuhiko Kasai under the WRHI program, the predecessor of WRH.
This time, with support from the WRH Program, Prof. Lau will stay at Science Tokyo for five consecutive months and collaborate with Prof. Shoichi Kishiki of the Multidisciplinary Resilience Research Center (MRRC), Institute of Integrated Research (IIR).
