Osamu Maruyama, Professor
0 student voices
The lab aims to understand organisms, which are built according to genome sequences that serve as the blueprint of life, as systems. To this end, it uses theories from information science and knowledge discovery methods to build algorithms that find hypotheses and rules in accumulated genome data, and it conducts computational experiments. In education, the lab aims to train information scientists who understand biology. Its fields of expertise are computational biology and bioinformatics, and its research keywords include deep learning, Bayesian inference, epigenome, and Hi-C.
Takehiko Minato, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Takehiko Minato belongs to the Future Symbiotic Design Division of the Faculty of Design, and his area of specialization is screenwriting. He is listed as a faculty member of the Future Concept Design Course at the undergraduate level and of the Future Symbiotic Design Course in the Graduate School of Design. The film Tenten: Zutto Dokushin de Iru Tsumori? ("Are You Planning to Stay Single Forever?"), for which Professor Minato wrote the screenplay, will stream exclusively on Prime Video starting October 23, 2026.
Hiroshi Ito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Hiroshi Ito's lab discovers the phenomena underlying biological rhythms and elucidates their mechanisms through both mathematical and experimental research. The lab's work includes observing the circadian rhythms of single cyanobacterial cells, studying how the timing of flowering in plants is determined, and research using squid and jellyfish. The lab also promotes science communication by running the "Geikou Art & Science Café."
Daisuke Inoe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Daisuke Inoe's lab uses in vitro reconstitution experiments to study how the cytoskeleton, which controls a cell's shape, orientation, and movement, self-assembles. By combining biological methods for working with biomaterials and chemical and engineering methods for modifying them, the lab aims to artificially create molecular robots that function like cells. To make the molecular-scale world easy to see and understand, the lab also creates bioart works using 2D/3D CG, VR, and AI. On Kyushu University's researcher information page, the lab's website is introduced as the Cytoskeletal Architecture and Bio-Self-Assembly lab.
Hitoshi Kuriyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Hitoshi Kuriyama explores what concepts such as “nothingness” and “existence” mean through the making of artworks. The lab also conducts research that systematizes the basic elements common to all forms of artistic expression, in order to clarify the “order of beauty.” In education, the lab centers on contemporary art and teaches how to generate ideas for works, how to develop concepts, production techniques, exhibition practice, and portfolio creation. The lab also incorporates off-campus investigations such as fieldwork, aiming to give students firsthand experience of the settings where art and design are created.
Masahiro Takita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Masahiro Takita is engaged in practice and research on community development and child and family welfare, based on communication design. The lab regards communication design as “a technique for bridging the gaps between people,” and places emphasis on practice that overcomes problems by collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders in child and family welfare settings. The lab views community development as a collaborative effort that can be brought together from the standpoint of citizens (people directly affected, users, and residents). The lab also works on promoting awareness of the foster care system and designing communication tools that contribute to children’s rights.
Nobuhiro Masuda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Nobuhiro Masuda studies the history and theory of photography, as well as visual culture and moving-image media, from the standpoint of aesthetics and art studies. The lab works on historical and theoretical research that treats photography as a science and technology, and on historical and theoretical examination of visual culture and moving-image media. It also examines matters related to media art and bio art from the perspectives of aesthetics and the theory of sensibility (kansei).
Madoka Yuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Image Studies Lab (Madoka Yuki) studies images in photography and contemporary art, drawing on the history and theory of photography and on visual culture studies. Its themes include otherness, global art, representations of death, and temporality. The lab also carries out art intervention projects at a university museum. The professor teaches courses in the Future Design Course of the School of Design, among others, and supervises graduation theses, master's research, and doctoral research.
Tokusyu Inamura, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Tokusyu Inamura specializes in design engineering and studies design carried out together with all kinds of beings. The lab works on post-human-centered design, which does not place humans alone at the center but also takes non-human beings into account. Its research themes also include ways of generating ideas based on meditation, and design related to the incorporation of ecosystems as legal entities. The professor has written a paper using the Naka River in Fukuoka as a case study, and has also pursued international collaboration, including an academic partnership with the Royal College of Art in the UK.
Motohide Seki, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Motohide Seki specializes in mathematical biology, mathematical sociology, and evolutionary biology, and conducts research using mathematical models. Simulation of emergency medical services has also been the subject of a talk at an academic conference. At the undergraduate level, the professor belongs to the Future Design Course and teaches courses in mathematical modeling, mathematical statistics, and programming.
