－　　－16Kosei MIKAMIAssociate Professor, Department of Architecture and Architectural EngineeringKosei Mikami is an associate professor at the Department of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, College of Industrial Technology, Nihon University. He graduated from the Department of Architecture, College of Science and Technology, Nihon University in March 1998. Then he completed the Master’s Program in Architecture at the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University in March 2000 and completed the doctoral program without a doctoral degree in the Department of Medical and Welfare Engineering, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Nihon University in March 2006. In March 2007, he acquired a doctoral degree in engineering from Nihon University with the graduation thesis titled “Research on the Thermoregulatory Function of People with Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries and the Thermal Environment of Their Homes.” After acquiring the degree, he taught for a year at the College of Science and Technology, Nihon University and for three years at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science. He was then assigned to this school in April 2010, where he has remained until the present. His research interest is the barrier-free design of the thermal environment for physically handicapped people with thermoregulatory disorders. He belongs to many academic societies related to engineering, physiology and medicine, including the Architectural Institute of Japan, the Japan Medical Society of Spinal Cord Lesion, the Japanese Society of Biometeorology, and the Japanese Society of Human-Environment System.Research Achievements1)Survey on requests regarding the thermal environment by patients with cervical spinal cord injuries, Journal of Japanese Association for an Inclusive Society, Vol.21(2), pp.13-24, 20192)Effect of Back Cooling with Peltier Devices on Thermoregulatory Responses in a Hot Environment, IEEJ Transactions on Electrical Engineering, Vol.16(6), pp.832-834, 2016 3)Field survey of thermal environment in the residences of people with cervical spinal cord injuries, Japanese Journal of Biometeorology, Vol.50, No.4, pp.175-187, 20144)Physiological Thermoregulatory Response of Patients with Cervical Spinal Cord Injuries, Journal of environmental engineering (Transactions of AIJ), Vol.73(633), pp.1233-1239, 2008Relief of Gongs in Angkor WatMechanism to support disability of thermoregulation of people with cervical spinal cord injuriesCircumstance of artificial climate chamber experiment of people with cervical spinal cord injuries
