Takeshi Imamura is a Professor in the Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences at the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, with an affiliation in the Department of Earth and Planetary Physics in the Graduate School of Science. He received his Ph.D. in Science from the University of Tokyo in 1998. Prior to his current position, he served as a research associate and later associate professor at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), joining the University of Tokyo as professor in 2016.
His research focuses on planetary atmospheres and planetary exploration, including ongoing analysis of data from the Japanese Venus explorer Akatsuki to study phenomena such as super-rotation and sulfuric acid clouds, as well as development of Mars exploration programs addressing water cycle and dust transport. Additional work involves radio occultation observations of planetary atmospheres and the solar corona, and numerical modeling of atmospheric processes across planets. He teaches graduate courses in the Department of Complexity Science and Engineering and the Department of Earth and Planetary Science. Imamura is a member of the Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences, the Meteorological Society of Japan, and the Japanese Society for Planetary Sciences.
