Shinji Hokamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Hokamoto-Bando Lab studies how to fly and maneuver drones, satellites, and deep-space probes, based on control and dynamics theory. Rather than piecing together existing systems and theories, the lab creates new theories and concepts that have not existed before, aiming to develop systems that play active roles in space and aviation. For autonomous drone flight, the lab works on estimating the distance to and shape of obstacles using vision inspired by insect compound eyes. For deep-space probes, the lab aims to reduce the computational cost of mission trajectories through trajectory design that uses the geometric features of the multi-body problem.
Shinichiro Higashino, Professor

The Higashino-Harada Lab studies the aerodynamic characteristics and autonomous flight of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as air traffic management for passenger aircraft. Since 1984, the lab has studied methods for estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of fixed-wing unmanned aircraft, mainly through flight experiments. In recent years, the lab has also worked on autonomous flight of unmanned aircraft and its advancement, using wind tunnel testing alongside flight experiments. Unmanned aircraft that the lab designed and developed itself are used for scientific surveys of aerosols, magnetic fields, and more overseas, including in Antarctica, Thailand, Mongolia, and Ethiopia.

The Spacecraft Dynamics Lab conducts research on space debris, orbit and attitude estimation and control, optical observation, and microsatellites. Applying astrodynamics to the problem of space debris (also called space junk), the lab develops tools to evaluate the stability of debris distributions and the effectiveness of measures for preventing debris generation and remediating the orbital environment. The lab also works on observation planning to efficiently discover unknown debris, and on algorithms to detect moving artificial objects in captured images. Students lead the research and development of the microsatellite “Q-Li,” aiming to establish a technique that works backward from the light curve, which represents an object's brightness over time, to estimate the object's motion and changes.
Fujio Tsumori, Professor

The Tsumori-Tsushima Lab studies structural and functional materials for aerospace, and how to process them. The lab works on developing 3D printing technology, microfabrication using nanopowders, and actuating structures made of soft materials. Recently, the lab has also put effort into research inspired by living things (Bio-inspired Engineering). The lab also conducts analytical and experimental research that considers aerodynamics and structures together.
Darren Wall, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The WALL Lab studies fluid dynamics problems using the ideas of dynamical systems, a field of applied mathematics. In particular, it investigates how shear flows transition from laminar to turbulent and how turbulence is sustained. Associate Professor Darren Wall mainly teaches mathematics courses and is also involved in the internationalization of the university.
Yusuke Uozumi, Associate Professor

The Applied Nuclear Physics and Electromagnetic Analysis Lab conducts experimental and theoretical studies of atomic nuclei using beams produced by accelerators, and develops technology for FFA accelerators. The nuclear group develops program codes to predict nuclear reactions, and also carries out the experiments needed for that purpose. The accelerator group develops FFA accelerator technology, aiming to establish the fundamental technologies for applications such as proton therapy for cancer and accelerator-driven subcritical reactors. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Uozumi Lab."
Kenichi Watanabe, Professor

The Quantum Beam Physics and Measurement Lab works on radiation measurement technology and research on nuclear reactions. It studies methods such as dose evaluation during radiation therapy and radiation measurement during the decommissioning of nuclear reactor facilities. The lab also develops detectors that operate at extremely low temperatures and detect gamma rays and X-rays with excellent energy resolution and position resolution.
Nozomu Fujimoto, Professor

The Reactor Physics and Fusion Engineering Lab studies the theory, design methods, and safety of nuclear fission and fusion energy systems. Its work is based on the physics of atoms, atomic nuclei, and plasmas, together with control theory and systems engineering. Research is carried out by Professor Fujimoto's group, which works on fission reactors, and Associate Professor Matsura's group, which works on nuclear burning and neutron engineering for fusion reactors and on reactor applications.
Yasukazu Murakami, Professor

The Quantum Beam Materials Physics and Engineering Lab conducts research and education in materials science based on the interaction between quantum beams and matter. Through electron microscopy observation, diffraction, and analysis, and through spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, the lab carries out basic research to understand the fine structure of functional nanostructured materials at the atomic level. Quantum beams transfer energy to atoms and electrons in materials and introduce lattice defects. The lab also studies irradiation-induced defects in nuclear reactor materials used under irradiation, including how atomic structures and microstructures develop.

The Energy Creation Materials Science Lab, with the broad aim of harmonizing future energy development with the Earth's resources, studies next-generation nuclear fuel and the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste. The lab's website regards spent fuel not as "troublesome" waste but as a treasure trove, and puts forward recycling and safety as its keywords. Its research is divided into nuclear fuels such as ceramic fuels, solidified waste forms such as high-level waste glass, and the behavior of radionuclides in montmorillonite and granite. On the lab's website, it is also referred to as the "Inagaki Lab."
