Osamu Maruyama, Professor
0 student voices
This lab studies bioinformatics, which analyzes genome sequence data, the blueprint of living organisms, with methods from information science. To understand organisms built according to genome sequences as systems, it is necessary to clarify the various structures, mechanisms, and functions that organisms have. To that end, the lab develops algorithms that find hypotheses and rules in accumulated genome data and investigates them through computational experiments. In education, the lab's goal is to train information scientists who understand biology.
Takehiko Minato, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Takehiko Minato is a faculty member of the School of Design who specializes in screenwriting. Professor Minato is listed as a faculty member of the Future Concept Design Course at the undergraduate level and of the Future Coexistence Design Course at the graduate level. The Future Concept Design Course teaches artistic expression, social planning, and information and life sciences, and develops the ability to plan and put into practice new social systems and services that did not exist before. A School announcement notes that a film for which Professor Minato wrote the screenplay will be available exclusively on Prime Video from October 23.
Hiroshi Ito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Hiroshi Ito conducts research that discovers the phenomena underlying biological rhythms and elucidates their mechanisms both mathematically and experimentally. Organisms studied include cyanobacteria, plants, squid, and jellyfish. In classes, Associate Professor Ito teaches programming and simulation in the Future Concept Design Course and chronobiology in the Future Coexistence Design Course. Through running the "Geiko Art & Science Cafe," the lab is also engaged in science communication.
Daisuke Inoe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Daisuke Inoe studies how the cytoskeleton, which controls cell shape, orientation, and movement, assembles itself. Using in vitro reconstitution systems, the lab investigates the mechanisms of cytoskeletal self-assembly. The lab also works on protein engineering using DNA nanotechnology and synthetic biology, taking on the design of proteins that can be controlled externally and proteins with new functions. By combining methods from biology with those from chemistry and engineering, the lab aims to artificially build molecular systems that function like cells (molecular robots).
Hitoshi Kuriyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
In the contemporary art lab of Associate Professor Hitoshi Kuriyama, students explore what concepts such as "nothingness" and "existence" mean through the creation of artworks. The lab also works to systematize the basic elements common to all forms of artistic expression, with the aim of clarifying the "order of beauty." The lab sees an artwork as a kind of "lens" that reflects the world as something different, through which viewers form a new view of the world. In teaching, the lab covers how to generate ideas for artworks, how to develop a concept, how to apply basic elements of form, and the practice of exhibiting work.
Masahiro Takita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takita Lab engages in practice, research, and education centered on community development and child and family welfare. Its foundation is the techniques and way of thinking of communication design, understood as "a technique for bridging the gaps between people." The lab places particular emphasis on practice and research in the field of child and family welfare, working with a wide range of stakeholders to overcome challenges. For education, the lab is responsible for the Future Concept Design Course at the undergraduate level and the Strategic Design Course, among others, at the graduate level.
Nobuhiro Masuda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Nobuhiro Masuda studies visual culture, including photography and moving images, from the standpoint of aesthetics and art studies. His research themes are the history and theory of photography, and the theory of moving-image media and visual culture. He works on the history of photography as a scientific technology, the history and theory of moving-image media, and aesthetic and sensibility-based studies of media art and bio art. He belongs to the Division of Future Coexistence Design in the Faculty of Design at Kyushu University.
Madoka Yuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Madoka Yuki studies the history and theory of photography, image studies, and visual culture studies. The professor lists otherness, global art, representations of death, and temporality as research themes. Using the Kyushu University Museum as a case, the lab also works on theoretical research and exhibition practice concerning exhibitions from an art perspective (art intervention). The professor teaches courses and supervises graduation, master's, and doctoral research in the Future Vision Design Course of the School of Design and the Future Symbiotic Design Course of the Graduate School of Design.
Tokusyu Inamura, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Assistant Professor Tokusyu Inamura specializes in design engineering and studies design carried out together with all kinds of beings. Questioning the human-centered view, the lab takes "post-human-centered design," which includes the concerns of non-human beings, as a key research term. The research proceeds using keywords such as social innovation, community, meditation, and the legal incorporation of ecosystems. A case study set on the Naka River in Fukuoka has been written up as a paper, and the lab has collaborated with overseas universities such as the Royal College of Art (RCA) in the UK.
Motohide Seki, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Motohide Seki specializes in mathematical biology, mathematical sociology, and evolutionary biology. In emergency medicine as well, the lab discusses the use of simulations based on Fukuoka City's ambulance dispatch records. Courses taught by the professor include mathematical statistics, mathematical modeling, and programming.
