Tomohiro Miki
Dr. Tomohiro Miki is an Associate Professor in Department of Civil Engineering at Kobe University since 2007.  He was born in 1976 in Fukuoka, Japan. After completing his doctoral studies in 2004 at Tokyo Institute of Technology, he spent a post-doc at both the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the University of California, San Diego. During their stay at both universities, he worked with Professor Benson Shing. In April 2005 he moved to the Tokyo Institute of Technology as Research Associate. His research interests include the seismic performance evaluation of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. He also focuses on the residual performance evaluation of aging structures damaged by steel corrosion and Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR). He is a member of the JSCE, JCI, and ACI 445-D Shear Databases subcommittee and ACI-JCI collaboration committee.
