Camila Sehnem, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Sehnem Lab studies functional analysis, especially operator algebra theory. The lab is interested in various generalizations of actions of groups and semigroups on C*-algebras (such as correspondences and partial automorphisms), and works on constructing operator algebras, mainly C*-algebras, from such actions. Non-self-adjoint operator algebras and von Neumann algebras have also played important roles in this research.
Tatsuyuki Hikita, Associate Professor

The Hikita Lab studies geometric representation theory. In mathematics and mathematical physics, a phenomenon called “duality” has been observed, in which seemingly completely different mathematical objects turn out to be equivalent. Mirror symmetry and Langlands duality are well-known examples. One of the lab's research goals is to use problems in combinatorics as probes to find phenomena like duality that lie behind them. The lab has also proved the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture on chromatic symmetric functions of graphs.
Nobu Kishimoto, Lecturer

The lab studies nonlinear partial differential equations, in particular evolution equations known as dispersive equations. Dispersive equations include the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the KdV equation. Using methods from harmonic analysis and real analysis, the lab investigates the well-posedness of initial value problems (existence and uniqueness of solutions, and stability with respect to changes in the initial data). The lab also studies global-in-time properties of solutions, such as asymptotics toward linear solutions and finite-time blow-up.
Fukuhiro Ueda, Lecturer

The lab studies arithmetic geometry and number theory. Its main subjects are p-adic Hodge theory, Galois representations, and K-theory. The lab has worked on one of the central questions of the Langlands program: which Galois representations arise from algebraic geometry. Currently, it is focusing on computing the étale cohomology of arithmetic schemes using K-theory and higher class field theory.

The Behavioral Control Lab studies the mechanisms of human sensation, cognition, and movement. Human body movements are produced by unconscious control so that they are carried out accurately and energy-efficiently. Through behavioral experiments, the lab quantifies body movements and explores the mechanisms of the control system underlying them. It investigates the effects of gravity on movement, the perception of space under gravity, and collective strategies in sports.
Motoki Kouzaki, Professor

The Kouzaki Lab studies how humans produce diverse movements, in terms of the activity of muscles and the central nervous system. The central nervous system is thought to simplify an enormous amount of information to generate optimal movements. The lab investigates this seemingly contradictory motor control using physiological experiments, behavioral control experiments, and mathematical methods such as simulation. Experiments and journal clubs are conducted together with the Motor Control Lab.
Yutaka Komura, Professor

The Komura Lab studies how the mind arises, based on the workings of the brain. As artificial intelligence advances, the lab pursues its research in connection with the questions of how natural intelligence and artificial intelligence will come to terms with each other, and what intelligence is in the first place. The lab works on the mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness, brain rhythms and self-organization, meta-learning and causal inference, cross-species comparison and neural networks, and more. It is a lab that considers humans by comparing them with animals and machines, and its members include people who like living things, mathematical and information sciences, making things, and design.
Jun Saiki, Professor

The Vision Science Lab (Saiki Lab) studies the mechanisms of human visual information processing involved in recognizing objects, other people, scenes, and events in the world. Lab members work on themes such as value-driven attention, aesthetic judgment, ensemble perception, visual working memory, and visual search.
Yasuko Funabiki, Professor

The Funabiki Lab studies how states of the human mind relate to development from early childhood, environment, personality, traits, and cognitive mechanisms. It aims to detect this academically as evidence that does not rely on subjective or momentary judgment, and to work toward contributing fairly to many people. The lab works on developmental disorders, cohort studies tracking the development of infants and young children, brain function research, and mental health, including collaboration and joint research with other labs. The lab welcomes people who will work together, with a strong sense of ethics and from various angles, on the delicate issue of "the human mind."
Shota Hagio, Associate Professor

The Motor Control and Learning Lab (Hagio Lab) studies how humans produce movements (motor control) and how they acquire new movements (motor learning). Its research covers all everyday movements, including sports and playing musical instruments. The lab combines behavioral experiments, physiological experiments, and simulations using mathematical models. It also investigates how people learn new movements and how a microgravity environment that simulates space affects body movement.
