For more than 30 years, Dr. Murakami has been in charge of the research on Building and Environmental Control Engineering, mainly at the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo (from 1972 to 2000), at the Department of Engineering, Keio University (from 2001 to 2007) and at Incorporated Administrative Agency Building Research Institute (from 2007 to 2012) since graduating from the University of Tokyo (Department of Engineering, Faculty of Architecture).
He has been engaged in special research of the experimental study and the numerical simulation of turbulent airflow in rooms and around buildings. He has had a great deal of experience on CFD analysis of wind climate from human scale to urban scale. He initiated a new field of CFD Research.
He has also conducted extensive interdisciplinary studies concerning global environmental engineering, urban/building environmental engineering, healthy cities, human comfort and health and so on. His achievements concerning energy and sustainability researches are remarkable. He is now working at Institute for Building Environment and Energy Conservation as a President.
