Shinichiro Fuse, Professor
0 student voices
The Fuse Lab studies new organic synthesis processes for making pharmaceuticals and other compounds. Using microflow synthesis, in which solutions react while flowing through narrow channels, the lab mixes solutions in a few milliseconds and controls reactions precisely. The lab is uncovering the value of fast reactions that are difficult to control in a flask and have therefore been overlooked. By also using machine learning, theoretical calculations, and automated synthesis, the lab aims to deliver better pharmaceuticals faster, at lower cost, and with less waste.
Tomokazu Fukutsuka, Professor
0 student voices
The Fukutsuka Lab studies lithium-ion batteries and next-generation secondary batteries that go beyond them. The lab aims to build energy conversion devices that can convert electrical energy and chemical energy into each other. Although it is a lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering, its academic fields are electrochemistry, materials chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Working from fundamentals to applications, the lab aims to contribute to the development of secondary batteries for electric vehicles and large stationary power sources.
Yasunobu Yokomizu, Professor
0 student voices
The Yokomizu Lab studies the physical and chemical phenomena that occur inside electrical equipment using high power and large currents, as well as how to control them. Its main subject is arc discharge, a high-temperature gas that forms when circuit breakers and fuses interrupt current. Beyond clarifying the phenomena, the lab also works on devising solutions that use new measurement methods and techniques. The lab also studies the operation and control of distribution systems connected to distributed power sources such as solar power generation.
Akimori Tabata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
This lab studies the development of silicon-based thin-film materials and their application to devices. It develops nanocrystalline silicon-based thin-film materials, aiming to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cells. The thin films are fabricated by methods such as hot-wire CVD and sputtering.
Muneaki Kurimoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kurimoto Lab studies solid insulating materials, which do not conduct electricity, and the technology related to them. With the realization of a carbon-neutral society in mind, the lab aims to contribute to energy saving and higher efficiency in mobility, power, and the environment. The lab handles nanocomposite insulating materials, whose dielectric strength is raised by adding nano-sized particles, from design through synthesis and fabrication to performance evaluation. Recently, the lab has also incorporated information science (informatics) to develop materials with even higher dielectric strength.
Noriyasu Ohno, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohno Lab conducts research toward realizing fusion power generation that uses high-temperature plasma confined by magnetic fields. The lab develops control and measurement technologies for edge plasma, which are essential for maintaining the plasma in the reactor core. It also investigates the interaction between plasma carrying a heat flux comparable to that of the Sun's surface and the wall materials that receive it. Besides experiments using high-density plasma generators, the lab works on computer simulation and on the creation of functional nanostructured metals.
Hiroaki Nakamura, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab uses theory and simulation to study the physical properties of materials and the characteristics of electromagnetic waves for fusion power generation. The lab is located at the National Institute for Fusion Science in Toki, Gifu Prefecture. In fusion devices, the wall materials that come into direct contact with plasma wear away, which is a problem, so the lab investigates this interaction from the atomic scale. The lab also develops computational codes, using simulation techniques such as the molecular dynamics method.
Yoshizumi Miyoshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyoshi Lab studies phenomena in the region from the Sun to the Earth (geospace). The lab combines state-of-the-art observation instruments, data analysis techniques, and computer simulations. Using large-scale data from satellites and other platforms, along with machine learning, the lab works on space weather and space plasma. The lab also develops observation instruments to be carried on satellites and sounding rockets.
Giichiro Uchida, Professor
0 student voices
The Uchida-Suzuki Lab studies how to generate low-temperature plasma, measure it, and use it for making materials. The lab designs discharge, electrode, and equipment conditions to control plasma suited to the target process. Using imaging measurement and modeling, the lab investigates spatial structures and particle motion inside plasma. The lab is extending this work to semiconductor manufacturing processes and to functional materials and materials for energy devices.
Kenji Ishikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishikawa Lab studies new technologies built on low-temperature plasma science. Plasma, generated by creating a discharge in a gas, is used for deposition and etching of the semiconductors that are essential for smartphones and other devices. By observing the behavior of ions and radicals in plasma and modeling surface reactions at the atomic level, the lab aims to control processing. The lab also uses plasma technology to make new materials, such as carbon materials suited to battery electrodes.
