About
I am a Japanese automotive engineer, who graduated from Loughborough University in the UK with first-class honours in MEng Automotive Engineering. My primary study interests are Vehicle Dynamics and Numerical Simulation. I will use this website as my personal notes on Vehicle Engineering theories. While I have a basic understanding of many Automotive Engineering subjects from my degree study, the accuracy of the contents is not guaranteed. Interested readers should refer to the referenced original literature. This website does not contain any confidential information obtained from my previous and current employment.
