Jin Miyawaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Carbon Materials Science Lab studies carbon materials such as carbon fibers and activated carbon, and explores their applications in batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, and more. Associate Professor Jin Miyawaki works on the creation of porous carbon and the analysis of its pores, and Associate Professor Koji Nakabayashi works on producing carbon materials from stranded resources. The lab does not recruit undergraduate students; it is intended for those joining from the graduate level.

The Soft Materials Interdisciplinary Chemistry Lab studies materials with excellent biocompatibility for use in medical and healthcare products. The lab aims to understand, at the molecular level, the phenomena that occur at the interface between cells and materials, and to establish design guidelines for biocompatible materials. In particular, it focuses on water molecules at the place where materials meet biological components, and has proposed the intermediate water concept. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tanaka Lab".

The Functional Materials Interdisciplinary Chemistry Lab (Fukuhara Lab) studies photofunctional soft materials for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The lab searches for and develops materials, ranging from organic molecules to supramolecules and polymers, that can measure the pressure (acoustic waves) actually applied to cells. The background is near-future cancer medicine, which requires diagnostic and therapeutic technologies that place little burden on the body. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fukuhara Lab".
Kaoru Tamada, Professor
0 student voices
The Nano-Biodevice International Collaboration Lab is a unit in the Soft Materials Division of the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering. Professor Kaoru Tamada creates new functional materials through the self-assembly of molecules and nanoparticles and studies their application to biosensing. Associate Professor Yusuke Arima aims to control the functions of cells and tissues using surface chemistry methods and to measure biomolecules. Because the lab's own page does not describe its research, this introduction is based on the university's researcher information and the page of the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science.
Satoru Kidoaki, Professor

The Polymer Biomaterials Lab studies the design and synthesis of high-performance polymers that control the adhesion of specific cells. It examines interactions among cells, proteins, and polymers using nano-bio interface analysis. According to the lab, this research enables integrated research and development across organic and polymer synthesis, bio-interface analysis, and cell engineering. The lab aims to establish polymer biomaterials science, covering polymer-based artificial tissues and medical materials used in fields such as medicine and biological analysis.
Tatsumi Ishihara, Professor

The Ishihara Lab studies technologies that generate and convert energy from the perspectives of catalytic chemistry and electrochemistry, with the aim of building an ideal energy-using society. The lab investigates materials for solid oxide fuel cells, materials for lithium-ion secondary batteries, and photocatalysts and catalytic processes for producing hydrogen. The lab is located in Research Building 2 of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER).
Katsuro Hayashi, Professor

The Hayashi Lab studies ceramic materials that contribute to the fields of energy, electronics, and the environment. It takes a broad view that spans how materials are made (processing), their applications, and the functions of the materials themselves, and it trains experts in this field. Its research covers oxide-based all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries, piezoelectrics and ferroelectrics with new mechanisms, and ceramics in which reactive anions play a role. The lab emphasizes hands-on experience that draws on all five senses and craftsmanship, from firing ceramics to building vacuum equipment in-house.
