Tatsuya Suzuki, Professor
1 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies mobility, meaning vehicles, robots, and other moving systems, from the perspective of systems and control engineering. Keeping in mind the “coexistence of intelligent machines and humans,” which will be essential in the society of the future, the lab works on autonomous driving, driver assistance, and autonomous control of mobile robots. The lab also addresses social-system challenges such as transportation and energy management. It values a balance between theory and implementation, and is involved in many research projects and joint research with private companies.
Yasuhisa Hasegawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Intelligent Robotics Lab conducts research and education aimed at developing intelligent robots that bring out people's creativity and potential. The lab studies robots that gently support human senses and actions in real-life settings such as daily living, welfare, medicine, and creative activities. By combining mechanical design, intelligent control, AI, human interfaces, and embodiment, the lab aims to build relationships in which robots and people create things together. The lab regards robots not as replacements for humans but as "partners" that help people act more freely and vividly.
Seiichi Hata, Professor
1 student voices
The Hata Lab studies small machines such as MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and medical devices from the perspectives of microfabrication, mechanical engineering, and materials. To efficiently find new materials for MEMS, the lab also works on materials synthesis using combinatorial techniques and on methods for evaluating materials. In recent years, the lab has also been working on materials evaluation and exploration using machine learning. The lab has many joint research projects with companies, other universities, and research institutes, and it actively sends its students abroad and accepts international students.
Jiro Kasahara, Professor

The Kasahara Lab conducts basic research on detonation, a combustion wave that propagates at hypersonic speed, and applied research on using it in rocket engines and jet engines. Detonation is expected to make combustors and engines much smaller and higher-performing, and research on it is now active worldwide. In 2021, using a sounding rocket of the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, the lab became the first in the world to succeed in a flight demonstration test of a detonation engine in space. In 2024, it also conducted a sounding rocket experiment with a liquid-fuel engine, and from fiscal year 2026 onward it will take on a third experiment.
Hosei Nagano, Professor
0 student voices
The lab (Nagano Lab) studies thermal energy management spanning Earth and space. Its work covers research on heat and energy aimed at achieving decarbonization, energy-saving and highly efficient thermal control for next-generation spacecraft, measurement and visualization of the movement of gases and liquids inside porous media, and measurement techniques for the thermophysical properties of advanced materials. The lab takes on a wide range of work, from building the fundamental science underlying thermal engineering to applied research. Faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, including people who want to start a company and people aiming to become researchers, work together on research.
Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Combustion Group (Yamamoto Lab) of the Thermal Control Engineering Research Group studies how things burn and how to measure it. Using lasers, the lab measures flames burning in turbulence and makes them visible. It also works on developing technologies to clean fine particles such as soot contained in automobile exhaust. Together with the Thermal Control Group in the same research group, the lab studies the management of thermal energy spanning Earth and space.
Ichiro Naruse, Professor
0 student voices
The Naruse Lab studies technologies that convert biomass, waste, and similar materials into energy efficiently and with a low environmental burden. Using high-temperature reactions such as combustion and gasification, the lab clarifies the underlying mechanisms through experiments and calculation. It tackles problems faced by real facilities, such as ash deposition on boilers, nitrogen oxides and fine particles produced by combustion, and CO2 reduction in ironmaking.
Ruri Hidema, Professor
0 student voices
The Hidema Lab studies the rheology of complex fluids. Complex fluids contain polymers, fine particles, and the like, and their flow is not proportional to the force applied. They appear in many everyday settings, such as daily necessities, food, fluids used in industry, blood, and tears. The lab pursues both basic research that unravels how these fluids flow and applied research that uses complex fluids to solve problems in society.
Eijiro Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Biomechanics Lab studies the mechanics of biological tissues such as blood vessels, bone, and skin, and of the cells that make them up. Biological tissues are thought to change themselves so as to restore their original state when the forces acting on them change. The lab aims to measure the mechanical properties of tissues and cells in detail, investigate how forces affect them, and apply that knowledge to medicine and engineering.
Dai Okumura, Professor
0 student voices
The Solid Mechanics Lab (Okumura Lab) studies the mechanical properties of a wide variety of solids, including metals, cellular structures, and hydrogels. It pays particular attention to the unstable deformation behavior that occurs when solids undergo large deformation. The lab works on building mechanical frameworks and developing material models, and uses them to analyze unresolved problems. Assigned students become proficient in mechanics of materials and solid mechanics, while learning a broad range of skills, from the basics of CAE to specialized techniques.
