Makrand Khanwale
Physical Science Research Scientist
BioI received my PhD from Iowa State University co-majoring in Mechanical engineering and Applied Mathematics. I was co-advised by Dr. Baskar Ganapathysubramanian and Dr. James Rossmanith. For my dissertation I worked on development and analysis of numerical schemes for high fidelity simulations of multiphase flows. Specifically I developed energy stable numerical methods to simulate two-phase flows using Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations. I also have experience in development of tools to analyse and understand complex physical processes like multi-phase flows and turbulence. Before joining Iowa State for my graduate work, I had a brief stint as a research associate in Dr. Krishnaswamy Nandakumar‘s group in Louisiana State University (LSU). At LSU I worked on developing theoretical models for energy cascades in multi-phase flows.

Naohiko Kohtake
Visiting Professor, Mechanical Engineering
BioNaohiko Kohtake is a Visiting Professor at the Center for Design Research, Stanford University, and Professor at the Graduate School of System Design and Management, Keio University in Japan. His research interests lie in space systems engineering, intelligent systems, and the integration of design thinking and systems engineering for innovative social and space services. He is currently conducting research at Stanford University on enhancing data-driven decision-making systems through space-scale Internet of Things, which involves satellites, drones, ground-based sensors, and robots.
He began his career at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), where he worked on the H-IIA launch vehicle, onboard software for spacecraft, and international projects related to the International Space Station with European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. He later served as a visiting researcher at the ESA. Since joining Keio University in 2009, he has led research on space service innovation, systems approaches to societal challenges, and education for multigenerational co-creation. He has served as the primary academic advisor for 13 doctoral degree recipients and 73 master’s degree recipients from Japan as well as other countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. He concurrently held the position of Principal at Keio Yokohama Elementary School.
