Shinji Kitagami, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Kitagami Lab studies how people understand and remember, through memory, eyewitness testimony, metacognition, motivation, and design such as pictograms. From basic cognitive psychology to applied research related to education, design, and consumer behavior, the lab tests its ideas with experiments and data. The lab is part of the Psychology Division, Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University. Graduate and undergraduate students pursue research in cognitive psychology based on their own interests.

Masahiro Hirai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hirai Lab studies, from the standpoint of developmental cognitive neuroscience, how people understand others and act within society. Focusing on the interaction among body, brain, and environment, the lab aims to clarify the mechanisms underlying the development of social cognition, individual differences, and neurodiversity. Its research so far has centered on understanding others' movements, infant learning, perspective-taking, and comparisons between autism spectrum disorder and Williams syndrome. Currently, the lab aims to build a unified theory of human social cognition from the perspectives of predictive coding and embodiment.

Tomoko Isomura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Tomoko Isomura of the Psychology Division works in the fields of cognitive science, developmental psychology, and physiological psychology. Her research keywords are interaction, development, physiological psychology, embodied cognition, and social cognition. She belongs to the Psychology Division of the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University. Her past publications can be checked in the Nagoya University researcher directory.

Ryota Takano, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Takano Lab studies how people overcome change and come to harmonize and coexist in a rapidly changing society. Covering a wide range of topics, from individual cognition and emotion to trends across society as a whole, the lab aims to clarify the dynamics of mind and society across multiple levels. Its basic approach is psychological experiments and surveys grounded in theoretical consideration, and its distinctive feature is combining them with natural language processing, machine learning, functional brain imaging, and physiological response measurement. Recently, the lab has put particular emphasis on psychology and cognitive science research that makes use of large language models.

Masahiko Sakai, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakai Lab specializes in the foundations of software, with a particular focus on term rewriting systems, the theory of functional programs, and methods for program transformation and verification. The lab lists term rewriting systems, program transformation and program generation, SAT solvers, esoteric programming languages, and automatic music transcription as its main research topics. Lab projects introduced include NaPS, a pseudo-Boolean constraint solver, and CombSQL+, a combinatorial optimization solver based on SQL. The lab's website is shared with the Nishida Lab.

Naoki Nishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies term rewriting, program inversion, program transformation, and program verification. Its research also includes conditional rewriting, constrained rewriting, and narrowing. The lab belongs to the Computation Theory research group of the Department of Information Systems, and is introduced on the same lab website as the Sakai Lab.

Mutsunori Banbara, Professor
0 student voices
The Banbara-Soh Lab conducts wide-ranging research in the field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, from basic theory to real-world application. The lab focuses in particular on general-purpose approaches to declarative problem solving, centering its research on answer set programming, SAT (satisfiability testing), and constraint programming. Research subjects include university course timetables, string compression, and puzzles. For high school and undergraduate students, the lab publishes an introduction to SAT and an article on creating nurse work schedules on the blog of Nagoya University's School of Informatics.

Hiroaki Takada, Professor
0 student voices
The Embedded Real-Time Systems Lab (the Takada-Matsubara Lab) studies technologies for realizing embedded real-time systems from both the software development and hardware design sides. Embedded real-time systems support modern society, from familiar devices such as home appliances to the control of large equipment such as industrial robots and satellites. The lab conducts joint research with many companies and also promotes the TOPPERS Project, which develops open-source software for embedded systems through collaboration among industry, academia, and government. The lab holds lab seminars, exercises, and social events jointly with the Ishihara-Masuda Lab and the Honda-Yamada Lab, which belong to the same research group.

Tohru Ishihara, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishihara-Masuda Lab studies computing methods that maximize energy efficiency, covering a wide range from hardware design to computational algorithms. The lab works on circuit design for approximate computing, which performs important computations accurately and the rest approximately, and on techniques for performing simple computations inside optical communication networks. The lab also researches the use of fuzzing, a software testing technique, to verify approximate computing circuits.

Shinya Honda, Professor
0 student voices
The Honda Lab studies embedded systems, which are computer systems built into machines and devices to control them. Example research themes include development environments using ROS and real-time operating systems, and performance evaluation. The lab also conducts joint research with companies, and students can participate from their fourth year of undergraduate study. Volunteer members also take part in the ET Robocon. On the lab's website, it is introduced as the Honda Lab of the Graduate School of Informatics at Nagoya University and the Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Nanzan University.
