Bio-Sensing Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops technology that uses light and sound to measure agricultural products, food, and living organisms without damaging them.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting food and agriculture through measurement technology
The Bio-Sensing Engineering lab conducts broad research on biosensing using engineering methods, measurement of living animals and plants, and technologies for the production, sorting, processing, and storage of agricultural products and food.
In basic research, the lab works on identifying the substances contained in materials, measuring physical properties using sound, light, and images, and developing methods to evaluate quality without destroying the sample.
In applied research, the lab also works on automation and robotization of production facilities, informatization for food safety, and the development of biosensors that can help with preventive medicine.
Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Environmental Science and Technology, Graduate School of Agriculture).
Key terms
- Spectroscopy
- A method that separates light by wavelength to examine which light a substance absorbs or emits, and how much

View More ↗ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses engineering methods to study technologies for measuring living organisms, agricultural products, and food. Building on basic work in substance identification, physical property measurement, and nondestructive quality evaluation, it applies the results to facility automation, informatization of food, and biosensor development.
*Illustrative imageSeeing Inside Biological Materials with Light
Using spectroscopic information from the ultraviolet to the terahertz range, the lab is creating new sensor technology to identify substances inside biological materials. It is also advancing research that uses spectroscopy to examine the movement of water molecules and the hydration of proteins.
*Illustrative imageExamining Agricultural Products and Food Without Damaging Them
The lab develops technology to inspect agricultural products and food nondestructively, using the properties of heat, sound and vibration, electricity, and light. It also works on research such as understanding the condition of vegetables from their texture characteristics.
