Dr Yoshiyuki Kajikawa

Dr. Yoshiyuki Kajikawa is a Senior Scientist of the Computational Climate Science Research Team at RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS). He is also a Project Professor of Research Center for Urban Safety and Security (RCCUSS) at Kobe University since 2016. 

He has studied climate variability over the Asian region and acquired Ph.D. (Science) at Nagoya University in 2005.

He conducted climate diagnostic research as postdoctoral fellowship at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC), University of Hawaii, USA from 2005 to 2009 and at the Nagoya University from 2009 to 2012. 

Since 2012, he has been in Research scientist position in RIKEN, he continued to work on the climate system studies on the hierarchical structure from deep convections, cloudy synoptic disturbances to general circulation by global cloud-resolving model. He is as specialist on and particularly interested in the multi-scale interaction of the Asian monsoon climate.
