Welcome

Welcome to the SPACE Laboratory at ISAS! We are planetary scientists, geologists, and remote sensing experts.

As of now, we are looking for new graduate students and postdocs. Interested candidates with the departmental postdoctoral fellowship programs or ISAS graduate studies should consider applying, especially if research interests span multiple faculty. [Contact]
