Machine-translated · View original
The lab works on simulations that visualize electromagnetic waves and on developing teaching materials for technology education.
AboutAbout the lab
Visualizing electromagnetic waves and creating technology education materials.
The lab of Professor Kitagawa studies simulations that visualize electromagnetic waves and the development of teaching materials on measurement and control of electronic circuits.
Professor Kitagawa lists machine learning and quantum optics as research keywords.
The lab also presents, in papers and at academic conferences, its development of software that lightens the workload at school sites.
The research themes of the Technology Specialization are only examples, and graduation research is flexibly adapted to students' interests.
Key terms
- FDTD method
- The finite-difference time-domain method. One method for numerically analyzing electromagnetic waves.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's main themes are simulations that visualize electromagnetic waves and the development of teaching materials on measurement and control of electronic circuits. It also develops software that helps with work at school sites.
Simulations That Visualize Electromagnetic Waves
This research focuses on simulations that visualize electromagnetic waves. Using the FDTD method, the lab analyzed how light behaves when it strikes a leaf, and showed that air gaps inside the leaf strengthen reflection and may affect how white patches on the leaf appear.
Developing Teaching Materials on Measurement and Control of Electronic Circuits
The lab develops teaching materials on measurement and control of electronic circuits. At an academic conference in December 2025, it presented a study of a system for remotely measuring the growing environment of plants.
Developing Apps That Help with School Work
The lab develops software that lightens the workload at school sites. It automated a health observation support app for school ICT devices (Chromebooks) with Google Apps Script, and made it easy to operate with QR codes.
