The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 and the Thailand Floods of the same year were among the most destructive natural disasters in Natt Leelawat s lifetime.
For Leelawat who began graduate studies at Tokyo Tech as Japan and Thailand reeled from these disasters the year 2011 would mark a turning point in his life and career. What I learned from Tokyo Tech and being in Japan helped me clarify my interests, create new research on disaster risk reduction, and communicate my knowledge to a new generation of engineers and technologists, he says.
