Canh Duc Vu (PostDoc Researcher)

Dr. Vu Duc Canh received his PhD degree from the Department of Urban Engineering at the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 2020. Then, he worked as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at the Environmental Public Health Engineering Laboratory, University of Tokyo, between 2020 and 2024. Since 2024, he has been a postdoctoral researcher at the International Wastewater Epidemiology Laboratory, University of Tokyo. His research interests include a wide variety of topics in the field of health-related water microbiology, such as the development of concentration/detection methods for pathogenic viruses, waterborne pathogens during water/wastewater treatment processes, virus disinfection methods, and wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE).

Shusuke Araki(Undergraduate Student, B4)

My name is Shusuke Araki, a senior undergraduate student in Urban Engineering. Driven by a desire to conduct research with a global perspective, I joined this lab for my graduation thesis. In the emerging field of "Wastewater-based Epidemiology," I devote all my passion in research that contributes to solving environmental health issues.
