Naoki Takata, Professor
0 student voices
The Takata-Tsukada Lab conducts research to understand the micro- and nanoscale microstructures inside structural materials and to create new structural materials. Using both experiments and theoretical calculations and data science, the lab explores the essence of the microstructures produced by how materials are made, and seeks the principles for controlling them. Its work includes developing alloys with metal 3D printers, aluminum alloys that make use of impurities, plating coatings, and predicting microstructures with the phase-field method.
Yasutoshi Iriyama, Professor

The Iriyama-Yajima Lab researches new storage batteries, especially all-solid-state batteries. Replacing the flammable liquid electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries with a nonflammable ceramic solid electrolyte greatly improves battery safety and also extends battery life. The lab focuses on ion movement at the interface between the electrode and the solid electrolyte, which is a major challenge, and works on the design of "nanoionics" with the solid electrolyte at its core.
Hiroshi Harada, Professor
0 student voices
The Materials Processing Engineering Lab studies the process by which metals solidify from a liquid, as well as joining technologies that use metal forming such as forging. Professor Hiroshi Harada lists casting, solidification, electromagnetic force, flow control, and microstructure control as his research keywords. Assistant Professor Eiji Abe's research topics include the development of joining technologies using metal forming and the mechanisms of fatigue in metallic materials.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawajiri Lab applies techniques from process systems engineering and information science to chemical processes. By incorporating methods such as statistics and artificial intelligence into modeling, design, and optimization, the lab aims to develop new chemical processes. Its targets include processes that capture carbon dioxide by adsorption, separation by chromatography, reactive separation, and catalytic reaction processes.
Seiichi Takami, Professor
0 student voices
The Rate Process Engineering Group belongs to the Advanced Process Engineering Division and consists of the Takami Lab and the Matsuoka Lab. The Matsuoka Lab studies soft matter such as polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, and micelles, aiming to understand their physical properties from the molecular level and apply that understanding in engineering. Using original instruments that employ ultrasound and light, the lab aims to gain insight into material properties that conventional methods cannot provide. Prof. Takami of the Takami Lab researches oxide nanoparticles, surface modification, minimal surfaces, and manufacturing inspired by mathematics.
Makoto Kobashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kobashi-Suzuki-Tsuchida Lab researches how to design the “shape” of materials to create materials with new functions. Porous materials, which contain pores (holes) of various sizes, gain properties such as absorbing impact and exchanging heat efficiently. Using additive manufacturing (3D printing) and powder metallurgy, the lab designs and controls the shape of materials at scales from the nano to the macro.
Toru Ujihara, Professor
0 student voices
The Ujihara Lab centers on crystal growth, the process of growing crystals, and researches next-generation semiconductors and materials that handle heat. For SiC crystals, which are expected to be a material for power semiconductors that control electric power, the lab also investigates how defects, which are disorders in the arrangement of atoms, form. To speed up materials development, the lab incorporates AI (machine learning) into searching for crystal growth conditions and optimizing manufacturing processes.
Yusuf Valentino Kaneti, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nanostructure Design Process Engineering Lab studies nanoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks, and mesoporous metals and metal alloys. Its listed research keywords are self-assembly, electrocatalysts, and sensors. Yusuf Valentino Kaneti has been an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Process Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, since March 2026.
Yusuke Yamauchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamauchi-Asakura Lab studies new inorganic solid materials that contain uniform nanoscale spaces (pores). It covers a wide range of porous inorganic materials with many voids, including metals, carbon, sulfides, phosphides, and transition metal oxides. By combining the behavior of molecules, light, and magnetism within narrow nanospaces, the lab aims to create new functions. The lab is also pursuing research that combines machine learning and inorganic synthesis to efficiently search for synthesis conditions and material combinations.
Qian Wang, Professor
0 student voices
The Wang Lab studies the materials, methods, and technologies needed to produce renewable fuels from solar energy through artificial photosynthesis. Inspired by photosynthesis in plants, the lab designs and builds photocatalytic systems that use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into hydrogen and carbon-containing fuels. Beyond understanding the chemistry of photocatalysts, the lab also places importance on demonstrating scalable approaches to producing solar fuels at a practical scale. The research connects with many fields, including materials engineering, chemistry, semiconductor physics, and chemical engineering.
