Takayuki Hirai, Professor
0 student voices
The Energy Photochemical Engineering Lab develops artificial photosynthesis technology using photocatalysts, and designs, synthesizes, and applies luminescent and colorimetric molecular sensors. The lab takes part in research and education as a cooperating chair of the Chemical Engineering Area in the Department of Materials Engineering Science, Graduate School of Engineering Science, and of the Chemical Engineering Course in the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, School of Engineering Science. Assistant Professor Takeshi Sugahara also studies the properties of gas hydrates, typified by methane hydrate, and of organic clathrate compounds, aiming at their use in gas separation, energy material storage, heat storage materials, and as reaction media. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Environmental Photoengineering Group (Hirai Lab)."
Hirokazu Tada, Professor
0 student voices
The Tada Lab (Molecular Electronics Group) takes on the challenge of creating new molecular electronics and organic electronics devices that use molecules as their basic building blocks, and of establishing their scientific foundations. The lab seeks graduate students from a wide range of fields regardless of their undergraduate department, including molecular science, physical chemistry, materials science, condensed matter physics, electronic engineering, and nanoscience. For graduate school entrance exams, applicants can take physics or chemistry in the recommendation-based exam, and condensed matter physics, chemistry, biotechnology, and other subjects in the general exam. Lab visits are welcome at any time, and interested students are directed to consult Professor Tada.
Tetsuro Kusamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Kusamoto Lab designs and synthesizes new radicals with unpaired electrons and new magnetic metal complexes, and studies how to create functions and physical properties that have never existed before. The lab synthesizes new materials and clarifies their structures, physical properties, and electronic states. When it encounters unexpected properties or behavior it cannot explain, it asks "why?", aiming to discover the principles hidden in the science of material properties. The lab studies the luminescence of radicals and the relationship between spin and emission. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Correlated Molecular Functions Group, Kusamoto Lab."
Masaaki Ashida, Professor
0 student voices
The Ashida Lab (Microscale Material Coherence) conducts research aimed at elucidating and controlling the quantum-mechanical properties of materials using light. Light is not only a tool for probing the properties of materials, but can also be used as a tool for controlling their properties and motion. The research falls broadly into three areas: optical control of materials, creation of new optical technologies, and quantum effects explored with light. In the master's program, students first learn basic spectroscopy techniques, regardless of their research topic.
Hikaru Kuramochi, Professor
0 student voices
The Photophysical Chemistry Lab (Kuramochi Lab) uses spectroscopy with ultrashort laser pulses to observe and elucidate how molecular reactions proceed (reaction dynamics). Using light pulses shorter than 10 femtoseconds, the lab tracks moment by moment how the electronic states and structures of molecules change as a reaction proceeds. The lab also works on single-molecule spectroscopy, which examines molecules one by one, and takes on the challenge of identifying the origin of reactivity that differs from molecule to molecule. The lab belongs to the Future Materials Division, Microscale Materials Dynamics Group, in the Department of Materials Engineering Science, Graduate School of Engineering Science.
Katsuya Shimizu, Professor

The Combined Extreme Conditions Physics Lab creates extreme conditions such as high pressure, high magnetic fields, and low temperatures, and measures the properties of materials under them. Quantum phenomena that we rarely notice in everyday life show themselves in the world of extreme conditions, far beyond ordinary intuition. Using ultrahigh-pressure and ultralow-temperature techniques, the lab searches for superconductivity in elements and heavy-fermion materials. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Extreme Ultrahigh Pressure."
Genta Kawahara, Professor

The Thermal Engineering Lab (Kawahara Lab) conducts basic research on elucidating a wide range of phenomena involving heat and fluids, and on their applications. The lab belongs to the Thermal and Fluid Dynamics Division of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering, and pursues research in the field of nonlinear dynamics as the Thermal Engineering Group. The lab studies turbulence and the transition to turbulence through both direct numerical simulation and experiments. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kawahara Lab."
Susumu Goto, Professor
0 student voices
The Fluid Mechanics Group (Goto Lab) takes on the challenge of understanding the physics behind the complex phenomena shown by substances that flow, such as air and water (fluids). The lab combines rigorous theoretical analysis, large-scale numerical simulations on supercomputers, and laboratory experiments using the latest measurement techniques. The lab says that once the principles of complex flow phenomena are clarified, it will not only drive progress in new science but also make "technology development that does not rely on trial and error" possible.
Atsutomo Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Materials Physics Lab studies the strength and physical properties of materials from the atomic and electronic level. Its research keywords include ceramics, semiconductors, ferroelectrics, hydrogen embrittlement, and hydrogen-functional materials. The keywords for its methods are transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and nanoindentation. The lab is a research group of the Materials and Structural Engineering chair, in the Nonlinear Mechanics area of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering.
Ryuichi Tarumi, Professor
0 student voices
The Solid Mechanics Lab conducts fundamental research that analyzes a variety of nonlinear mechanical phenomena in solid materials and structures. Its topics include the geometric design of origami, kirigami, and amigami (knitted paper), fracture and mechanical instability in elastomers, and the mechanics of dislocations and disclinations in crystals. Its distinctive feature is the use of continuum mechanics whose mathematical framework for analysis is extended from Euclidean space to Riemannian manifolds. In addition to theory and computation, the lab builds soft structures with 3D printers and laser cutters and carries out mechanical experiments.
