The Polymer Physics Lab studies the mechanical properties of polymers such as gels, rubbers, and elastomers, using statistics and topology. It focuses on a property common to all polymers: they are long, highly flexible, string-like molecules. It analyzes the shapes that such strings form, such as network structures, knots, and links, through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The results of this analysis are used to deepen the understanding of macroscopic physical properties.

The Molecular Fluid Dynamics Lab combines molecular fluid dynamics with Nano/Micro Electro Mechanical Systems technology to conduct fundamental research on flow and interfacial phenomena in the bio and nano domains. Fluid-structure interaction analysis and nonlinear nanovibration control are also research subjects, pursued through theory, experiments, and numerical simulation. The lab works on measuring ultra-small ion currents and visualizing molecular flow, controlling micro- and nano-scale multiphase flows with optical radiation pressure, creating micromachines that operate in endolymph, and developing biosensors that detect biomolecules and pathogens. Through this work, the lab aims to build core technologies for next-generation personalized medicine and hearing devices.

The Fluid Engineering Lab develops prediction and measurement technologies for a wide variety of flow phenomena. From the perspectives of preventing adverse effects, using passive and active functions, and control, the lab conducts research with applications in carbon neutrality and biomedical engineering in mind. It works on elucidating and utilizing flow phenomena in multiphase flow, reacting flow, and liquid metals. Through experiments, theory, and simulation, the lab also develops large-scale, multiscale analysis methods and hybrid analysis methods, and analyzes fluid-structure interaction problems.

The Human Motor Control Lab is built on body science and robotics, and pursues research in two pillars. The first pillar is research that understands and enhances human sensorimotor abilities through interaction between humans and robots. The second is research that builds autonomous robots with excellent skills and intelligence and applies them to medicine and industry. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Human Motor Control Group (Nishikawa Lab)."

The Mathematical Solid Mechanics Lab builds mathematical models of the many nonlinear, multiscale, and multiphysics phenomena that occur in solid materials. Its aim is to predictively design solid materials with new functions, as well as processing methods controlled at the atomic level. The research overview page is divided into topics such as deformation and strength of materials, dislocation modeling, diffusion modeling, constitutive models, computational methods, structural materials, nanostructures, and amorphous materials. The department's introduction lists keywords such as modeling of deformation, fracture, and corrosion behavior of materials, and the prediction and design of the mechanical properties of materials using AI and data science. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name Ogata Lab.

The Biomechanics Lab conducts research to clarify the hierarchical biomechanical structures of living bodies, from the properties of cells and tissues to the functions of organs and the whole human body. Combining an analytical approach based on cell experiments with an integrative approach based on computational mechanics simulation, the lab investigates the mechanisms of mechanical adaptation, remodeling, and growth that are characteristic of living bodies. Based on these findings, the lab aims to reproduce the pathology of various respiratory and circulatory diseases on a computer, and to develop a new medical support system that uses computational mechanics analysis for diagnosing and treating disease. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name Wada Lab.
Shinya Aoi, Professor

The Aoi Lab, part of the Neuromechanics Group, focuses on organisms that walk while adapting to a variety of environments, and studies how their motor intelligence works and how it can be applied. The lab forms hypotheses from analyses of organisms' movements, models the neural, muscular, and skeletal systems, runs dynamic simulations, and analyzes them using dynamical systems theory. In this way, the lab aims to clarify mathematically the mechanisms behind the excellent motor control and movement generation of living organisms. The lab also turns these findings into engineering designs and develops robots that show excellent motor functions.
Toru Nakamura, Professor

The Nakamura Lab studies the measurement and analysis of biological information and its applications in health and medicine. The lab uses IoT devices to collect and analyze biological information from daily life, and develops digital biomarkers that objectively evaluate and detect mental and physical conditions, diseases, and pre-disease states. Building on these evaluation and detection technologies, the lab also studies methods for behavior change using digital devices. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nakamura Lab."

The Biophysical Data Science Lab studies how to read states of health and disease from the "fluctuations" that appear in biological signals. Even at rest, a healthy person's heartbeat is not constant: the interval between beats varies irregularly, and in disease this feature tends to be lost, leaving a monotonous rhythm. Focusing on the similarity to "fluctuations in complex systems," which arise from the interaction of many elements, the lab develops technologies that can help assess biological function and diagnose disease. The lab also works on using health-related big data and biological information measured by wearable devices for medicine and health management.
Shinji Deguchi, Professor

The Molecular Biomeasurement Lab combines measurement; mathematical science, physics, statistics, and informatics; and molecular biology and genetic engineering to understand hierarchical and complex life phenomena. The lab seeks to understand life phenomena such as cell shape, force, movement, and aging on the basis of physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. It also aims to open up a new field of biophysics and to achieve medical applications such as the regulation of aging. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Deguchi Lab."
