Shin Nishimura, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Nishimura's lab studies rubber and resin materials exposed to high-pressure hydrogen. In the hydrogen equipment that makes up a hydrogen energy society, rubber and resin materials are used to seal hydrogen gas. There is concern that hydrogen sealing materials such as O-rings may break down when exposed to high-pressure hydrogen gas, or when hydrogen gas is repeatedly pressurized and depressurized. The lab is working to elucidate the phenomenon in which rubber and resin materials placed in high-pressure hydrogen are broken down by the hydrogen gas.
Shigemi Kagawa, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Kagawa conducts empirical research on policies for the environment, energy, and resource management. The aim is to interpret real-world economic and environmental trends from socioeconomic statistics and environmental statistics. Prof. Kagawa hopes to provide information that helps people understand the world and contributes to solving problems.
Masamichi Kono, Professor

The Thermophysical Engineering Lab studies the development of thermoelectric materials, the measurement of thermophysical properties, and phase-change heat transfer in microscopic droplets. Thermoelectric materials can generate electrical energy directly from temperature differences within the material, and they are expected to be applied to waste heat recovery. The lab aims to develop excellent thermoelectric conversion materials by applying high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing to silicon to control how heat and electrons flow.
Hidemichi Fujii, Professor
0 student voices
The Fujii Lab focuses on companies' environmental conservation efforts and trends in the environmental business, and studies the policies and institutions needed to reconcile reducing environmental burden with economic development. The lab uses data to analyze how companies' ESG initiatives affect corporate value and valuation in capital markets, and how environmental regulation affects firms' technological innovation. In the undergraduate lab seminar, students examine topics related to sustainable finance from an economic perspective by analyzing companies' financial and non-financial information. In the graduate program, the lab expects students to hold, as their research question, why environmental problems arise and what institutions and policies would make people's behavior environmentally friendly.
Tomoaki Nakaishi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakaishi Lab studies analysis for making production and consumption sustainable from three angles: production activities, consumer behavior, and supply chains. Socio-economic systems built on mass production and mass consumption bring with them side effects in the form of various environmental and social problems, such as climate change, resource depletion, air pollution, and child labor. The SDGs, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, set "Responsible Consumption and Production" as Goal 12, with the aim of ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Nakaishi Lab."
Megumi Takata, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Megumi Takata studies "technology commercialization," which turns technologies created at universities into businesses, and "entrepreneurship," meaning entrepreneurial activity. Management of technology (MOT), management of industry-academia collaboration, technology transfer, and intellectual property management are also listed as research subjects. Prof. Takata's papers examine the behavior of people who handle university technology transfer, and how education affects the intention to start a company and the actions taken to do so. At Kyushu University's Department of Industrial Management (the business school), Prof. Takata teaches courses including management of industry-academia collaboration.
Shigemi Kagawa, Professor

Professor Shigemi Kagawa's lab focuses on empirical research on policies for the environment, energy, and resource management. It interprets real-world economic and environmental trends from socioeconomic statistics and environmental statistics. The lab aims to provide information that helps people understand the world and contributes to solving problems. Its main themes are the environmental and economic assessment of circular socioeconomic systems, analysis of sustainable consumer behavior, and analysis of the relationship between international trade and energy and the environment.
Hidemichi Fujii, Professor
0 student voices
The lab focuses on corporate environmental conservation efforts and trends in environmental business, and studies the policies and institutions that can reduce environmental burden while supporting economic development. It also looks at initiatives related to the SDGs and at corporate sustainable finance. In the undergraduate lab seminar, students analyze companies' financial and non-financial data and examine it from an economic perspective. In graduate school, students are expected to pursue their research with a research question of their own: what kinds of institutions and policies would lead people to act in more environmentally friendly ways.
Tomoaki Nakaishi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies, from an economics perspective, what "sustainable production and consumption" that takes the environment and society into account should look like. The lab holds that a society of mass production and mass consumption gives rise to problems such as climate change, air pollution, and child labor, and that a transition to a sustainable society is necessary. The research is divided into sustainability analyses of production activities, consumer behavior, and supply chains. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nakaishi Lab."
Megumi Takata, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies, from a management perspective, the process of turning technologies born at universities into businesses, as well as entrepreneurial behavior. It also covers areas such as management of technology (MOT), industry-academia collaboration management, technology transfer, and intellectual property management. One study uses cases from Japan to examine how technology transfer professionals, who are responsible for commercializing university technology, behave. Megumi Takata, the professor in charge, is a Professor in the Division of Industrial Management, Faculty of Economics, and also holds a concurrent appointment at the Institute for Sustainable Hydrogen.
