Hisao Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
Aiming for a sustainable society in harmony with the environment, the Yoshida Lab develops new high-performance solid catalysts and photocatalysts, as well as new photocatalytic reactions. By analyzing the structures of photocatalysts and catalysts and the mechanisms of their reactions, the lab clarifies the relationship between them and builds a scientific framework for designing catalysts. Undergraduates are assigned to the Materials Science Division and carry out their graduation research there (at the graduate level, the Materials Science Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Satoru Hiroto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hiroto Lab is an organic chemistry lab that focuses on molecular structure and creates, with its own hands, molecules with truly new structures and functions. The lab aims to elucidate the principles of nature underlying this work and to create new functions by using them. The lab makes π-conjugated molecules, which were mostly planar, in three-dimensional shapes, and brings out properties that planar molecules do not have. Undergraduates are assigned to the Materials Science Division and carry out their graduation research there (at the graduate level, the Materials Science Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Takao Itioka, Professor
0 student voices
The Itioka Lab specializes in ecology, entomology, and evolutionary biology, and studies the interactions among organisms that form a web across biological communities. The lab aims to understand what these interactions have meant for evolution and how they contribute to maintaining biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Undergraduates join the Earth and Life Environment Course to carry out their graduation research (for graduate school, the Earth and Life Environment Course in the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Hideaki Miyashita, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyashita Lab studies the diversity, multifunctionality, and evolution of the photosynthetic organisms that support life and the environment on Earth, focusing on cyanobacteria and microalgae. The lab takes a broad view from systematics to applied phycology, and also researches technologies that use the activity of photosynthetic organisms to reduce environmental risks. Undergraduates join the Earth and Life Environment Course to carry out their graduation research (for graduate school, the Earth and Life Environment Course in the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Itaru Imayoshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Brain Function Development and Regeneration Lab (the Imayoshi Lab) uses mice as an experimental model to study the mechanisms of brain development, maturation, plasticity, and regeneration. The lab belongs to both the Brain Function Development and Regeneration field in the Graduate School of Biostudies and the Stem Cell Deconstruction field in the Institute for Life and Medical Sciences. Undergraduates can do their graduation research through the Earth and Life Environment course of the Faculty of Integrated Human Studies, and the lab accepts graduate students in the Division of Systemic Life Science, Graduate School of Biostudies.
Tohru Tsuchiya, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsuchiya Lab studies the evolution of photosynthesis, its reaction mechanisms, and ways to alter photosynthetic functions. Photosynthesis is a reaction closely tied to problems humanity faces, such as food, the environment, and energy. Undergraduates are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment course for their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment course of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Hirotoshi Sato, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Sato Lab studies mushroom-forming fungi, using DNA information to clarify their phylogeny and taxonomy, species diversity, evolution, and the mechanisms of symbiosis. In particular, the lab focuses on ectomycorrhizal fungi, which form symbioses with tree roots, and investigates host specificity (which trees they associate well with) and the origins of species diversification (why so many species arose). Using DNA analysis, the lab distinguishes cryptic species that are difficult to tell apart by morphology alone, and clarifies the ecology and characteristics that each fungal species originally has.
Toyoho Ishimura, Professor
0 student voices
Ishimura Lab (Environmental Earth Science Lab) specializes in environmental analysis using stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of calcium carbonate. Building on paleontology and geochemistry, the lab's recent focus is its "fish research": clarifying fish migration routes in detail to help conserve fishery resources. The foundation of its research is analytical techniques and instrument development, and the lab collaborates with research institutions in many fields in Japan and abroad. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment Division and work on their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Tetsu Kogiso, Professor
0 student voices
Kogiso Lab aims to read the composition, dynamics, and chemical evolution of Earth's interior from the various rocks brought up from within the Earth. Its main methods are high-pressure, high-temperature experiments and synchrotron X-ray analysis. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment Division and work on their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Mamoru Kato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Kato Lab works in solid earth science, particularly seismology. In its recent papers, the lab tests phenomena said to be earthquake precursors, as well as rules long cited as empirical laws, against data. Undergraduate students are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment Division and work on their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment Division of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
