Our well-being relies on the reliable maintenance of social infrastructure. By utilizing physical chemistry analysis and information technology, we will try to understand the physicality at both the microscopic molecular level and the macroscopic structural level during the various stages of construction, operation, and renewal of social infrastructure. Additionally, we will explore ways to efficiently and effectively apply available technological knowledge to enhance the resilience of social infrastructure.
