Takahiko Sugiyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Sugiyama Lab studies the science and engineering of isotopes. Technologies for handling isotopes are essential for nuclear fusion, which is regarded as a future source of energy, and for the safe use and back-end management of nuclear power. Beyond energy, new uses of isotopes are emerging in fields such as medicine, analytical science, and astrophysics. As the word "Applied" in the lab's name suggests, the lab aims to carry out practical research that goes beyond academic study.
Hideki Tomita, Professor

Tomita Lab studies measurement in the energy field and environmental measurement. It also applies quantum sensing, which makes use of energy quanta, to areas such as medicine and drug discovery, nuclear physics, and public safety. In particular, the lab is developing measurement technologies that combine radiation and lasers, and applying them in the energy field. The lab began its activities as Tomita Lab in April 2024.
Akio Yamamoto, Professor
0 student voices
Yamamoto Lab focuses on reactor physics, the discipline concerned with controlling nuclear fission. Reactor physics is the field that underpins the most fundamental aspects of nuclear safety. Using data science, AI, and computational science, the lab pursues the world's highest level of safety for nuclear power generation in Japan and around the world. The lab also values collaboration with companies and other organizations so that its research results are put to practical use.
Junji Kato, Professor

The Kato-Nishiguchi Lab studies 'mathematical structural design,' which uses computational mechanics to find optimal structures. Its central theme is topology optimization, which makes structures lighter while tuning performance, such as stiffness, toughness, vibration, and heat transfer, exactly as desired. The lab collaborates with a wide range of fields, not only civil engineering and architecture but also automotive and mechanical engineering, aerospace, robotics, and materials science. It also studies methods for solving structural and fluid problems on computers such as the supercomputer Fugaku, as well as design methods premised on additive manufacturing (3D printing).
Hikaru Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura-Miura Lab studies concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, and dams, as well as their materials. Its work focuses mainly on the scale of cracks, combining mesoscale analysis developed in-house with nano- and micro-scale analysis and structural experiments. The lab works on new maintenance and management methods for structures that deteriorate over the years, and on elucidating the mechanisms of phenomena caused by the combined action of loads and the environment. It also conducts joint research with companies and researchers in Japan, and international joint research with researchers overseas.
Tomoaki Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura (Tomoaki) Lab (Coastal Lab) conducts research to create and make use of safe and secure coastal areas. The lab approaches this from three directions: large-scale hydraulic model experiment facilities, its own numerical models, and field observation with the latest measuring instruments. Cameras are installed at Ida Coast of Shichiri-mihama in Mie Prefecture, where the lab continues to observe beach morphological change.
Masaki Nakano, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakano-Sakai Lab (Geomechanics, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Group) is a group in the Geotechnical Engineering Division that studies the mechanics of soil and ground. Through laboratory soil tests, the lab examines the strength of soil and how it deforms. The lab works on research to use soil and sand generated by disasters, such as tsunami deposits, as material for earth structures. Professor Nakano is one of the inventors of GEOASIA, a ground analysis technique developed by the geotechnical research group at Nagoya University.
Toshihiro Noda, Professor
0 student voices
The Noda-Nakai Lab (Geotechnical Disaster Prevention Engineering Group) studies what happens to the ground and infrastructure during earthquakes. The lab examines soil properties through tests and calculates how the ground deforms and fails using GEOASIA, a ground analysis technique developed by the geotechnical research group at Nagoya University. The lab takes part in joint projects with national government bodies and companies in the Chubu region, and is involved in evaluating the seismic performance of infrastructure and studying countermeasures. It also studies the verification of liquefaction damage and seismic countermeasures for river levees.
Kazuo Tateishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Tateishi-Hanji Lab studies the deterioration of steel structures such as bridges. Even a properly designed bridge deteriorates as it continues to be used. Focusing on fatigue cracks caused by repeated loads from traffic, earthquakes, and other sources, the lab studies how to evaluate fatigue strength, how to increase it, and how to repair cracks.
Hiroki Tanikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanikawa Lab (Environmental and Social Systems Engineering Lab) studies environmental systems for achieving better, sustainable ways of living. Using material stock and flow analysis, which examines the materials accumulated in society and how they move, the lab analyzes whether the accumulation and circulation of materials are healthy, in relation to nature, society, and economic activity. The lab also uses methods such as geographic information analysis (GIS) and input-output analysis to conduct research and education on the relationship between human activity and the natural environment from an international perspective. Students come from Japan and abroad, and they actively present at both international and domestic conferences.
