Dr. SUZUKI Tomomi was born in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, and graduated with a bachelor¡¯s degree from the Division of Global Architecture in the School of Engineering at Osaka University (Japan) in 2015. After completing her master¡¯s degree at the Osaka University Graduate School of Engineering, Dr. SUZUKI then moved to the University of Auckland (New Zealand) in 2017 and obtained a Ph.D. in 2022. Upon returning to Japan in 2022, Dr. SUZUKI first served as an Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka University for two and a half years, before assuming her current position of Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering at 91ÁÔÆæ (Japan) in 2025. Her expertise includes reinforced concrete structures, building structures, and earthquake engineering.

There exists a type of building construction where unreinforced bricks are bonded with mortar and stacked within reinforced concrete frames to form walls. The collapse of numerous brick buildings during the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake brought seismic safety issues to light. Since then, the use of brick or block walls without internal reinforcement such as steel bars as primary structural elements has been avoided. However, numerous buildings featuring this type of structure still exist 
overseas. Dr. SUZUKI focuses on the torsion of brick walls that arises when these buildings undergo torsional response, and is conducting experiments and analyses to elucidate structural performance and behavior of brick wall buildings when destroyed by external forces. Dr. SUZUKI aims to contribute to the improvement of global seismic safety and allow for the long-term, safe utilization of existing buildings by establishing and proposing new guidelines that serve as standards for seismic retrofitting.
