Our cities are riddled with ageing infrastructure: railway tunnels, sewers, and water pipelines. London has swathes of them, driven into the clay. Can we predict their longevity and intervene to prolong their lives? Kenichi, who studied at Kyoto University and the University of California at Berkeley, develops innovative monitoring techniques such as wireless sensor networks, fibre optic strain measurements, computer visions, and micro-sensors, as well as complex computational geomechanics analysis tools for assessing the behaviour of man-made substructures.
