Kazuhisa Sueoka, Professor

The Nanoelectronics Lab works on measurement techniques that can distinguish individual atoms and even electron spins, as well as on sensors and devices with new functions. The lab belongs to the Advanced Electronics field of the Information Electronics Course in the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology. The faculty members specialize in measuring surfaces and spins using tools such as the scanning tunneling microscope, electron spin in semiconductors, and molecular films that spread on a water surface (monolayers).

The Quantum Intelligent Devices Lab studies materials and devices with new functions that apply new physical phenomena and clever mechanisms found in nature. It works on detecting myoelectric signals using "stochastic resonance," which living things exploit to make use of noise, and on low-power artificial intelligence that uses the movement of slime molds. The lab also advances research on microfabrication of semiconductors using light and electrochemistry, and on materials that convert light into electricity. The lab consists of the Functional Electronic Devices Group and the Semiconductor Electrochemical Processes Group.

The Nanosystem Optical Manipulation Lab (Tanaka Lab) studies the interaction between light and artificial nanostructures from the perspectives of momentum, angular momentum, and chirality. The lab aims to create new principles of optical manipulation by capturing the dynamics, geometry, and symmetry of the fields where light and matter meet at the nanoscale. The lab develops and integrates its own techniques in microfabrication, optical measurement and control, and electromagnetic field simulation, and uses them as the foundation of its research. The lab was launched in April 2023 at the Research Institute for Electronic Science, and welcomes applicants to its graduate program from other universities and other faculties.

The Livestock Production Systems Lab studies production systems that raise large herbivorous livestock such as cattle and horses by making the most of the land. Producing pasture grass for feed, livestock eating that feed to produce milk and meat, and returning manure to the land form a single system connected by the flow of materials. The lab clarifies the factors and mechanisms behind changes in each part and the relationships among the parts, aiming for efficient and sustainable livestock production. Its research spans the physiology, nutrition, ecology, and behavior of animals and plants.

The Agricultural Engineering Lab studies the use and management of farmland and water resources, and the protection of rural environments. The lab works on irrigation and drainage, water resource management, the use and conservation of peatlands, and the conservation and purification of water environments in rural areas. It also studies changes in land use, the evaluation of the multifunctionality of rural areas, and the analysis of farmland and regional ecosystems using geospatial information.

The Agricultural Resource Economics Lab studies agricultural research and development and the spread of new technologies from the perspective of economics. As the world's population continues to grow, there is an urgent need to increase food production through plant breeding and to respond to climate change. At the same time, countries and multinational corporations assert sovereignty and intellectual property rights over varieties and genetic resources, which creates the problem of obstructing their free exchange. Aiming at sustainable agricultural production, the lab considers the agricultural technologies that will be needed and the research and development systems and policies that can bring them about.
Yutaka Suzuki, Associate Professor

The Suzuki Lab studies how the digestive tract of calves develops, and how intestinal immunity and gut bacteria interact. Cattle can convert plant fiber that humans cannot use, such as pasture grass, into energy and protein, but newborn calves have almost no such ability. The lab combines fieldwork at a farm located within the Sapporo Campus, cell and molecular experiments in the laboratory, and analysis using next-generation sequencers. The lab is part of the Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere, and students join through the Graduate School of Environmental Science.
Masanori Asakura, Professor

Prof. Asakura studies arithmetic geometry using the theory of motives as a guide. Motives are a vision conceived by Grothendieck in the 1960s; refined by many mathematicians since, they are now an active area of research. Two of the Millennium Prize Problems, the Hodge conjecture and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, are also deeply connected to this field. Centered on the still-unsolved Beilinson conjecture, the research has recently been tackling problems by making active use of p-adic theory.
Yoichi Shibukawa, Professor
1 student voices
Prof. Shibukawa studies the Yang–Baxter equation and its solutions, within the field of integrable systems. In statistical mechanics, the (quantum) Yang–Baxter equation is the equation that guarantees a lattice model is solvable. The braid relation, which is equivalent to this equation, also makes sense as an equation on morphisms in a tensor category. The lab considers solutions in various tensor categories, seeking to grasp connections with representation theory, Hopf algebras, and solitons from a unified perspective.
Naohiko Kasuya, Associate Professor

Prof. Kasuya studies complex surfaces and the contact structures that appear on their boundaries. A typical example is a Stein surface and its strongly pseudoconvex boundary. Of particular interest are the Milnor fibers and singularity links of complex hypersurface singularities known as cusp singularities. Building on differential topology, the work also intersects with complex geometry, several complex variables, and singularity theory.
