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.

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.
Toru Takahashi, Associate Professor

The Computational Mechanics Lab studies computational mechanics, which is grounded in mathematics, physics, and computer science. It explores the foundations of analysis and design based on partial differential equations, and integrates them with AI and machine learning and with quantum computing. With real-world applications and contributions to industry in mind, its top priority is building general-purpose, fundamental ideas and methodologies.
Tsuyoshi Inoe, Professor

The lab studies the motion and vibration of rotating machines and of machines made up of many connected parts. Focusing on targets such as rocket turbopumps and automotive turbochargers, it builds models that describe their motion and develops analysis methods. In addition to devising new actuators and dampers, it works on technology that detects the internal state of a machine from its vibration and predicts failures. The lab carries out many industry-academia collaborations and joint research projects, and welcomes students interested in going on to a PhD.
Koji Mizuno, Professor

The lab studies automobile collisions and the mechanisms by which people are injured in them. With the goal of realizing "safer cars," it analyzes the mechanisms of injury in traffic accidents and researches and develops crash safety technologies that prevent injuries. All of its research uses computer simulation and is carried out in collaboration with external organizations. In addition to research on protecting occupants and pedestrians, it also analyzes fractures at the top of the femur (hip fractures) that occur in falls.
Tadayoshi Aoyama, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies robots that use intelligent media and AI and machine learning. It is pioneering new technologies that freely manipulate time, space, scale, and human skills, aiming at applications in medicine, biotechnology, and sports. It develops systems that support micromanipulation of cells under a microscope, as well as a fabric robotic suit that conveys tactile sensations to the body. Its stated vision is to erase the boundaries between "humans and machines" and between "physical space and cyberspace," and to create a future society in which people and technology are integrated.
Ichiro Takeuchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takeuchi-Taji Lab studies AI and machine learning from both theoretical and practical perspectives. To advance “data-driven” science and technology, which aims to make new discoveries by analyzing large amounts of data, the lab focuses on developing AI and machine learning methods. In manufacturing, life science, and materials science, the lab conducts research that incorporates AI and machine learning through joint research with companies and researchers in each field. The lab also works with a team at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project.
Takayuki Tokoroyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tokoroyama Lab, building on tribology (the study of surfaces, contact, friction, wear, and lubrication), researches how to give machine surfaces new functions. The lab aims to understand phenomena that occur at surfaces and contact interfaces and to connect that understanding to solutions for societal challenges in materials, lubrication, energy, mobility, and medicine. It works on creating carbon-based thin films with low friction and long life, observing wear particles, and conducting friction tests in high-temperature, high-pressure environments. Through research, the lab also places importance on developing people who can find and think through problems on their own and solve them in cooperation with others.
Shintaro Itoh, Professor
0 student voices
The Itoh-Azuma Lab studies how to understand and control the behavior of fluids from an engineering standpoint, at scales ranging from the microscopic world of molecules to the size of spacecraft. The lab runs research projects related to improving the energy efficiency of automobiles, next-generation semiconductor processing, information devices, and the development of new medical devices. Building on mechanical engineering, the lab also works in fields that combine it with new materials development, information technology, and biotechnology.
