Hajime Kimizuka, Professor
1 student voices
The Kimizuka-Ohto Lab studies the properties of materials using computational science methods that examine materials at the level of electrons and atoms. The lab aims to clarify the microscopic mechanisms at work inside materials, predict their properties, and apply this knowledge to the design of materials with new functions. The main targets are solid materials such as metals, alloys, and ceramics, and the lab investigates phenomena related to strength and deformation from a microscopic perspective. For research on hydrogen permeation membranes, the lab has a setup that allows both experimental and computational approaches.
Takashi Nakamura, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies technologies for storing and converting energy, such as rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and water electrolysis. Building on solid state ionics, which deals with the phenomenon of ions moving inside solids, the lab applies ideas from materials science and electrochemistry. The lab works on rechargeable batteries that store a lot of energy and last a long time, efficient energy conversion, and new methods for synthesizing materials that have not existed before. The term "solid state ionics" was coined and popularized worldwide by Professor Emeritus Takehiko Takahashi of Nagoya University.
Noritaka Usami, Professor

The Usami-Katsube Lab studies silicon, the foundation of photovoltaics and electronics, as well as materials compatible with silicon. It works across scales, from large bulk crystals to structures only nanometers in size. The lab aims to create new crystals that could make solar cells widely available, nanomaterials with unprecedented properties, and new devices that operate with light or electricity.
Miho Tagawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Tagawa Lab studies how to use biomolecules such as DNA to arrange nanomaterials in an orderly way and form crystals. Extremely small substances such as nanoparticles have properties different from those of bulk materials, and when they are arranged in an ordered way, further new properties appear. However, it is not easy to control the arrangement as desired with nanomaterials alone. The lab therefore uses the self-assembly of biomolecules such as nucleic acids to precisely control the interactions and arrangement of nanomaterials.
Koyo Norinaga, Professor
1 student voices
The Norinaga-Machida-Yanase Lab studies technologies for separating, capturing, and utilizing carbon dioxide (CO2). Looking ahead to a future society where CO2 separation and capture is widely used, the lab conducts research in collaboration among universities, companies, and national government agencies. The lab works on technology that directly captures CO2 from the atmosphere using the cold energy of liquefied natural gas, as well as on predicting and simulating reactions that convert biomass and coal into fuels and raw materials.
Yutaka Matsuo, Professor
1 student voices
The Matsuo Lab studies devices that convert light into electricity using nanocarbon materials. It gives fullerenes and carbon nanotubes new functions through chemical methods to create new solar cells. The lab also works on materials that make fuel cells last longer and on molecules that change color when pressed. Its research spans organic chemistry to applied physics, and members work across fields while discussing with one another.
Ryoji Asahi, Professor
1 student voices
The Asahi Lab studies methods for designing functional materials by combining first-principles calculations and information science. First-principles calculations can predict many properties of materials from the fundamental principles of physical chemistry. Materials informatics, which searches for materials using data, faces the challenge that big data is hard to collect in materials science. The lab therefore combines computation and information science in various ways to search for materials that can help solve energy and environmental problems.
Yoshitaka Adachi, Professor
0 student voices
The Adachi Lab studies the relationship between microstructure, the fine internal structure of materials such as metals, and material properties. The lab analyzes microstructure in high dimensions, including its changes over time, to clarify how microstructures form and how properties emerge. It also conducts research that compiles the obtained information using machine learning and modeling to estimate microstructures and properties.
Takahisa Yamamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab uses transmission electron microscopy to analyze the structure of materials at the nanometer scale. Under the theme of materials science through electron microscopy, the lab works on analyzing interfaces between solids, clarifying the mechanisms of flash sintering, and clarifying how materials fracture. It uses methods for observing changes in materials in situ inside an electron microscope, as well as sample preparation techniques based on a focused ion beam.
Yoshifumi Takashima, Professor
0 student voices
The Takashima-Ito Lab studies the generation and use of synchrotron radiation, a powerful light for investigating materials. The lab develops compact electron accelerators that generate the light, as well as the beamlines and measurement instruments used to apply it in experiments. Using photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, the lab also investigates the electronic states inside a wide variety of materials.
