Masamichi Kamihira, Professor
0 student voices
The Biochemical Engineering Lab (Kamihira Lab) studies life phenomena at every level, from genes to cells, tissues and organs, and whole organisms, by analyzing them and reconstructing them artificially. The lab develops new biotechnologies, aiming to design and build the mechanisms of living systems and turn them into usable technologies. Its research spans the design of information processing inside cells, the construction of tissues that resemble living bodies, the production of biopharmaceuticals, and AI-based evaluation of cells and tissues. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kamihira Lab."

Takayuki Watanabe, Professor

The Fluid Process Engineering Lab studies the synthesis of materials and the treatment of waste using thermal plasma. While unraveling the unknown phenomena occurring inside plasma, the lab develops new methods such as nanoparticle synthesis and the decomposition of fluorocarbons (CFCs). The lab also works on lunar resource utilization, producing water by reducing lunar soil with hydrogen. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Watanabe Lab."

Gen Inoue, Professor

With next-generation vehicles and future energy management systems in mind, the Process Systems Engineering Lab studies batteries and electrochemical systems. The lab looks across scales, from nanoscale material interfaces to real operating environments, to clarify the reactions and mass transport occurring inside and the factors that govern them. Its subjects include lithium-ion batteries, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, all-solid-state batteries, and air batteries. The lab combines measurement of real materials, the actual complex three-dimensional structures, integration of measurement and computation, construction of theoretical models, and support for optimal design.

Hiroyuki Ijima, Professor

The Biomaterials and Medical Engineering Lab focuses mainly on the liver, studying how to artificially rebuild organs and how to preserve cells and organs. In organ engineering, the lab uses decellularization, a technique that removes only the cells from tissue, to obtain an organ template and uses it as a scaffold. The lab also works on research involving microfabrication, such as scaffold materials on which cells grow and carriers that deliver drugs through the skin. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Ijima Lab."

Yoshiko Miura, Professor

The lab studies how to make good use of biological mechanisms to create high-performance substances and materials useful in medicine and industry. It develops polymers that put glycans (sugar chains) found on cell surfaces to work as material functions, as well as synthetic polymers that mimic the functions of antibodies and enzymes. The lab also works on catalytic reactors for continuous-flow synthesis, in which a liquid is flowed continuously while it reacts, and on light-driven catalytic materials. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Miura Lab."

Kyuya Nakagawa, Professor
0 student voices
Building on chemical engineering, the Thermal Process Engineering Lab tackles problems related to the drying, freezing, and storage of pharmaceuticals and foods. It aims to understand how heat and mass are transferred inside products and to control how their structure and quality change. The lab explores the process technologies that manufacturing sites need to achieve advanced production, with the goal of contributing to the sustainability of producers and society. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nakagawa Lab (Chemical Engineering Division, Fourth Chair)."

Shuntaro Tsubaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Mass Transfer Engineering Lab researches and develops chemical processes that use microwaves, and analyzes powder compression related to electrodes for all-solid-state batteries. Professor Shuntaro Tsubaki uses techniques that precisely control microwave heating to research and develop catalytic conversion of sugars, extraction of functional molecules, and techniques that speed up freeze-drying. The lab also pursues fundamental research that uses in situ observation, such as XAFS and Raman spectroscopy, to clarify how microwaves make reactions faster. Assistant Professor Takeru Yano uses numerical simulation based on the discrete element method to analyze the densification that occurs during powder compression and the structure of electrodes for all-solid-state batteries.
