Matsuzawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that takes networking as its core and extends its research into AI, image processing, and drones.
AboutAbout the lab
Connecting multiple fields with networking at the core
The Matsuzawa Lab takes information and communication networks as its foundation and works on research that combines them with AI, image analysis, drones, and more.
Research topics are not decided unilaterally by the faculty; they start from the students' own interests and ideas.
In graduation research, the emphasis is less on specialized knowledge itself than on acquiring an objective perspective and logical thinking.
In summer, the lab holds a mid-term presentation as a retreat, which gives students a chance to receive advice from alumni and guests.
Key terms
- MANET
- A network formed by connecting mobile terminals directly to each other in a P2P manner. It is expected to be used as an ad hoc network during disasters, among other uses
- QUIC
- A communication protocol attracting attention as an alternative to TCP. It serves as the protocol for HTTP/3
- Routing
- A technique for determining the path by choosing which node to relay to when data is delivered hop by hop, like a bucket brigade

ResearchResearch themes
The Matsuzawa Lab conducts research that integrates multiple fields of computer science, such as AI, image processing, and natural language processing, centered on information and communication networks. What these have in common is designing, implementing, and evaluating systems that handle information and solve problems.
*Illustrative imageHow Internet communication works
The lab researches compatibility and coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6, and develops and improves higher-layer protocols built on IP. It also studies new application protocols using QUIC, and the coexistence of TCP and QUIC.
*Illustrative imageAd hoc networks for disasters
The lab studies communication mechanisms on MANETs, evacuation guidance systems that use collected information about the surroundings, and route guidance systems for autonomous driving. Since 2024, it has cooperated in research for Tokyo University of Science's Multi-Hazard Urban Disaster Prevention Center, also working on autonomous control of drones and the formation of communication infrastructure.
*Illustrative imageRouting (choosing paths)
The lab studies mechanisms for delivering data, targeting many-to-many communication, dynamic ad hoc networks such as MANETs, and content-centric and information-centric networks. Choosing the nodes to relay through well can prevent congestion and deliver data in a short time.
*Illustrative imageSecurity and reliability of communication
To achieve security and reliability that meet increasingly diverse needs, the lab studies cryptography, error-correction techniques, intrusion detection and firewalls, and distributed ledgers such as blockchain.
