Takaaki Wajima, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Wajima Lab conducts research on resources, the environment, and recycling, aimed at building a sustainable society. By understanding the basic physical properties of materials and changing their properties through physicochemical methods, the lab creates mechanisms for the effective use and recycling of waste. The materials it handles are varied, from incineration ash and slag to plastics, seawater, and even lunar regolith. The lab also works on developing technologies for environmental purification and resource recovery.
Kang-Zhi Liu, Professor

The lab researches control theory for making machines and power systems behave exactly as intended. Centered on robust control, which can guarantee performance even when the real system deviates from its model, the lab builds new theory that incorporates ideas from machine learning, prediction, and estimation. Its targets include advanced autonomous driving of cars, remote control over networks, optimal control of drones, and stabilization of power grids that use renewable energy. In its research on networked control, the lab verifies effectiveness through simulations and experiments.
Yukihiko Sato, Professor

The lab researches power conversion using power semiconductor switching devices, and power electronics, the applied technology built on it. Power electronics is a technology that controls electrical energy freely, and it is widely used from home appliances to industrial equipment. The share of electricity in the energy people use grows year by year, so this technology also plays a major role in solving energy and global environmental problems. The lab works on concrete research themes while considering what power electronics should be like in the future.
Tomoyoshi Ito, Professor

The Electronic Information Systems Lab conducts research using electronic information technology. Its current focus is electronically controlling holography, said to be the ultimate 3D imaging technology, to build next-generation imaging and visualization systems such as 3D televisions and 3D microscopes. Faster computation is essential to achieving this. To that end, the lab also develops its own custom hardware starting from LSI circuit design, and builds parallel systems using highly parallel processors such as GPUs.
Takatoshi Tauchi, Professor

The Design Morphology Lab takes all kinds of "objects" and "events" that people create as its subject, and examines how they come into being and the characteristics of their components from the perspective of morphology. To read the meaning and value hidden beneath things, the lab repeats cycles of observation and experimental making. The lab places importance on deepening thought while engaging with real objects and events, free from fixed ideas. Every year, to coincide with the university festival in November, the lab holds the Design Morphology Exhibition, where it shows works in progress from master's and graduation research and feeds visitors' comments back into its work.
Akio Namiki, Professor
1 student voices
The Namiki Lab studies high-speed vision and how to use it in order to improve the task performance of intelligent robots. It builds high-speed vision systems that carry out everything from image acquisition to processing and recognition 500 to 1,000 times per second. Through visual feedback control, which returns the results to the robot immediately, the lab aims for fast and dexterous motion. The research extends to manipulation of deformable objects such as cloth, paper, and string, as well as sports robots, remote operation, and drone control.
Masahiro Takei, Professor
1 student voices
The Takei Lab studies technologies that use electricity to "visualize" flows in which solids, liquids, and gases are mixed (multiphase flows). Using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT), the lab images the concentration distribution inside an object in three dimensions and over time. The lab is divided into three units, for cells, living bodies, and multiphase flows, and applies the technology in each field, from drug discovery and lymphedema to the flow of slurries and cream. Researchers from a range of backgrounds, including mechanical, electrical, biological, and information engineering, work together in the lab.
Toshiya Nakaguchi, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakaguchi Lab uses computer image processing to research diagnostic support, treatment support, and biometric measurement. For endoscopic surgery, the lab has proposed a system that projects images onto the patient's body surface, as well as a "camera-equipped trocar" with a miniature camera built into the trocar. The lab also develops a training system in which a virtual stethoscope is placed on a simulated patient to play back heart and breath sounds, and a device that quantitatively records the color, shape, and moisture level of the tongue. The lab accepts lab visits and research consultations at any time, and invites third-year students in the Biomedical Engineering Course as well as students from other universities who wish to enter graduate school here.
Shinnosuke Hirata, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Hirata Lab studies methods for learning about the inside of the body from the information carried by ultrasound waves. It measures position, structure, and physical quantities from ultrasound reflected by an object or transmitted through it. The aim is to derive from these measurements information about living tissue and information that can be used for diagnosis. Currently the lab works on evaluating the condition of the liver from ultrasound images and on examining bone mass in the heel with ultrasound.
Masaharu Takahashi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The lab studies antennas and wireless systems for medical and wireless communication use. It studies a system in which a fabric antenna attached to a patient gown serves as the transmitter, continuously monitoring the patient's vital signs. It also works on technology to wirelessly transmit power from outside the body to a capsule endoscope inside it. Recently, the lab has also been advancing a system that uses microwaves to detect pressure ulcers, as well as underwater position estimation using electromagnetic waves.
