Kaname Yanagisawa, Professor
1 student voices
Yanagisawa Lab specializes in architectural design and architectural planning. The lab also lists environment-behavior design, educational facility planning, and universal design as its areas of specialization. Within the educational and research areas of the Architecture Course, the lab belongs to Living Environment Creation Design.

Yohei Takano, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Takano Lab studies the spaces and programs of contemporary architecture. The lab also conducts research that examines architects and history and connects them to the present day. It also works on thinking about architecture physically, through the act of making. The professor in charge is an architect who co-directs MARU。architecture.

Toshinori Ariga, Associate Professor

The Urban Transport and Environment Lab studies better ways to shape cities and transportation, focusing on the relationships among urban structure, human activities, transport and mobility, and environmental burdens and impacts. The location of cities and facilities affects how people move, and the convenience of transportation has in turn shaped the form of cities. The lab addresses urban and transport planning issues such as maintaining public transport amid population decline and aging, decarbonization, and responding to extreme heat and heavy rain. Launched in April 2023, the lab has graduate students who advanced from within the university as well as graduates of other universities.

Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo, Professor
1 student voices
The Josaphat Lab studies the science and technology of microwave remote sensing. It designs and develops synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to be mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles, aircraft, stratospheric platforms, and small satellites. Using circularly polarized SAR, polarimetric SAR, interferometric SAR, and tomography, the lab observes the land surface and atmosphere with high accuracy. The technology is applied to disaster response, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, forestry, oceans, urban development, and infrastructure health assessment.

Kazuhito Ichii, Professor
1 student voices
The Ichii Lab aims to better predict the future of the Earth by observing and modeling the Earth system. Its main focus is the terrestrial biosphere, and it captures changes in vegetation at scales from regional to global. The lab combines ground observation networks, satellite remote sensing data, terrestrial ecosystem models, and atmospheric observations. Projections of warming and the countermeasures against it change greatly depending on how much CO2 the land absorbs, and this research contributes to answering that question.

Shiki Yagai, Professor

The Molecular Assembly Chemistry Lab synthesizes specially designed organic molecules and makes them assemble into molecular assemblies. A single molecule can do only a limited number of things, but when thousands or tens of thousands gather, properties and functions arise that individual molecules do not have; supramolecular chemistry deals with this. Upon joining the lab, students first synthesize a molecule that exists nowhere else in the world, search for the conditions under which it assembles, and confirm the structure using tools such as atomic force microscopy. The lab has so far reported many supramolecular polymers that curve with a defined curvature, such as rings and helices.

Yoshimasa Amano, Professor
1 student voices
The Environmental Chemistry Lab studies the water environment and water purification, investigating a wide range of issues related to water. It investigates the mechanisms of eutrophication, in which algae grow abnormally in drinking water sources such as lakes and reservoirs, and considers countermeasures. In addition, the lab produces activated carbon and activated carbon fibers and studies how modifying their surfaces allows them to adsorb pollutants. It approaches topics such as adsorption phenomena, the production of carbon materials, and the analysis of pollutants from the perspective of physical chemistry.

Fumiyuki Shiba, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Shiba Lab studies new methods for making fine particles and nanoparticles of uniform shape and size. The lab began with research on how the fine silver halide particles used in silver halide photography form. Today, it develops methods for synthesizing particles in solution, targeting inorganic materials related to color and light. It also works to elucidate the mechanisms by which particles form.

Kazuki Nakamura, Professor
1 student voices
Nakamura Lab studies materials whose color and luminescence change with electricity or light, as well as devices made from them. It aims to advance the image display elements and information recording elements that will support the next-generation information society. To this end, the lab develops nanoscale assemblies and materials with new optical and electrical properties. It also collaborates with companies and research institutes, aiming to develop practical devices.

Takayuki Miyamae, Professor
1 student voices
The Miyamae-Kameyama Lab studies phenomena at surfaces and interfaces and how they relate to molecules. The orientation of molecules at an interface strongly affects properties such as hydrophilicity, water repellency, adhesion, biocompatibility, friction, electrostatic charging, and antibacterial activity. Sum-frequency generation spectroscopy is a method that uses the light emitted only from the boundary between different media when two short laser pulses of different wavelengths are applied. Using this method and a variety of other spectroscopic techniques and measurement technologies, the lab investigates how molecules behave at interfaces.
