Toshiro Matsumoto He has been studying the boundary element method (BEM) and is currently interested in the application of BEM to its applications to shape optimization problems. This topic has been revisited due to the emergence of the fast computation algorithm in BEM without vast storage requirements also for large-scale problems. He teaches the finite element method at a lecture.

Toru Takahashi He is particularly interested in the fast-multipole boundary element method for transient wave scattering phenomena in elastic media. His research is focused on developments of fast and parallel boundary element algorithms, black box fast multipole boundary element methods, and application of BEM to wave scattering problems of various periodic structures. Go to his personal page.

Isakari Hiroshi He has studied an application of the boundary element method for wave scattering problems in periodic media and its acceleration technique. Through his experiences, he believes that "We have to keep trying to deduce beautiful formulations since beautiful equations will give us good results." Currently, he works on a topology optimization method and a fast direct solver for boundary element methods.
