Recipient of the Japan Student Services Organisation (JASSO) Scholarship for academic excellence in embedded systems engineering, this three-month research internship is conducted in collaboration between the Graduate School of Science & Technology, Gunma University, and Deakin University, Australia. Under the supervision of Professor Yoshihiko Shimizu and Associate Professor Kenichi Uzaki from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the research involves the development of a device utilizing augmented and virtual reality technologies for the detailed analysis of the Tone River's sand banks and sand dune migration. The study aims to investigate how vegetation influences stream flow and river health, leveraging precise topographical data to enhance river management strategies and support environmental conservation efforts.
