My dream is to conduct specialized research based on my unique perspective, or ‘Takada’s approach,’ and to integrate these findings into a comprehensive framework.

In the process of landscape evolution, strain localization plays a crucial role. Based on satellite imagery, I have discovered that volcanic activities, or deep plutonic bodies remnants of past volcanic activities, play an important role in this localization process. While volcanic eruptions often attract attention when we think of volcanoes, they are just one part of volcanic activities. I am dedicated to clarifying the linkage between volcanic activities and landscape evolution through satellite image analyses and numerical modeling based on continuum mechanics. I am also focusing on the thermally active regions in active collisional mountains to find localized crustal deformation using satellite imagery.

The faculty and students can conduct research together. It is common for students to point out my mistakes, and often, while I am discussing with students, good ideas emerge from my mouth, leading to the solution of problems.
