Noriko Chikumoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Composite Photonics Lab (Chikumoto Lab) is located at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, and studies a broad range of topics, including the development of laser materials that open up new applications, system applications, and nanofabrication applications. Lasers play a role in many fields of science, medicine, communications, and industry, such as high-precision optical instruments, optical communications, and laser processing. In addition to laser technology, the lab works on superconducting materials in which electrons are in a coherent state, and on their application technologies. Research is carried out in groups for materials and application technologies, semiconductor laser system engineering, and power laser photonics.

The lab studies quantum information processing, centered on semiconductors, that makes use of the quantum-mechanical properties of electron spins and photons. Spintronics, based on the creation and integration of new optical, electronic, and spin materials, is also a main focus of the lab's research. The lab covers the whole process, from creating and characterizing materials to precise quantum transport measurements, with the aim of discovering new phenomena brought about by quantum nanostructures. It is a research division of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research at Osaka University, and the lab's website introduces it under the name "Oiwa Lab."
Jun Yamasaki, Professor

The lab develops measurement methods and techniques for electron microscopes, which visualize the invisible fine world at the micron, nano, and atomic scales. It uses a variety of state-of-the-art electron microscopes, including the 3-million-volt ultrahigh-voltage electron microscope, which has the highest accelerating voltage in the world. The lab works on methods for precisely measuring ultrafine materials in three dimensions and on establishing new lensless nanoimaging methods. It is a research division of the Research Center for Ultrahigh Voltage Electron Microscopy, and in the graduate school it is a cooperating research group of the Division of Electrical, Electronic and Infocommunications Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.
Yoshitaka Imaizumi, Visiting Professor

The lab conducts research to advance risk management across the entire life cycle of chemical substances. It studies the movement, accumulation, and release into the environment of chemical substances, as well as their environmental fate, and develops methodologies for doing so. The lab examines how environmental risks of chemical substances should be assessed and managed, not only in normal times but also during disasters and accidents. It is a collaborative field with the National Institute for Environmental Studies (a cooperative graduate school arrangement) and is one of the fields in the Environmental Engineering Course.

The Joining Structural Design Field (Reliability Design Division) studies how to evaluate the performance and reliability of welded and joined members and various structures. The lab approaches evaluation along two axes: a time axis called "through-process," which spans the whole life cycle of a structure, and a spatial axis called "trans-scale," which ranges from micro to macro. In particular, the lab develops methods to evaluate the effects of thermal processing, typified by residual stress and distortion, from both microscopic and macroscopic perspectives. The lab aims to build a design science that can contribute to advancing structure-building processes that use welding and joining.

The Mathematical Analysis Field studies welding and joining technology for ships, which are huge structures built from metal. The lab mathematically models various phenomena in which welding heat sources, welding materials, and mechanical loads combine, and investigates them through numerical simulation. This technology can be applied to all kinds of structures, not only ships, and research on modeling and simulation is expected to lead to the evaluation of joining technologies for future transport equipment. To evaluate the safety of structures, the lab also addresses the thermodynamic phenomena of solid-state joining and additive manufacturing through research and development of numerical analysis software and measurement methods.
Tetsusei Kurashiki, Professor

The Technology Creation and Collaboration Lab advances the creation of new technology through interdisciplinary integration and industry-academia collaboration, centered on composite materials engineering, reliability engineering, and engineering education. The lab works on evaluating the mechanical properties of advanced composite materials, easily dismantlable adhesive joining of dissimilar materials, reliability evaluation of items such as hydrogen tanks, and disaster simulation. Placement of fourth-year undergraduates is limited to students in the Production Science Course of the Department of Applied Science and Engineering, and the lab accepts graduate students through the Division of Business Engineering. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kurashiki Lab."
Keisuke Uenishi, Professor

The Uenishi Lab (Process Design Group) studies product design and business strategy. As manufacturing shifts from mass production and mass consumption toward diversification and globalization, the lab aims to cultivate not only skills but also perspective, in order to develop the next generation of leaders. Main research themes include business strategy for products with added services, product development and business models for increasing Life Time Value, innovation to prevent commoditization, and marketing strategy for building platforms.
Hidenori Nagai, Professor

The Process Design Area (Nagai Lab) studies technologies that use rapid PCR and LSPR biosensors to analyze pathogens and biological components. The lab was newly established in fiscal 2025, and Prof. Nagai also serves as a Senior Principal Researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Assigned students also conduct research at the AIST Kansai Center (Ikeda, Osaka). In education, the lab emphasizes training entrepreneurial talent, including intellectual property strategy and business strategy based on experience at startups.
Takashi Nakagawa, Professor

The Nakagawa-Seino Lab aims to develop truly useful technologies through materials development. The lab works on the synthesis and development of materials such as ferrite magnets, magnetic nanoparticles, and noble metal nanoparticles. It also aims to contribute to the purpose of the Division of Business Engineering to which it belongs: training engineers and researchers who also have management sense. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Technology Knowledge Management Chair, Nakagawa-Seino Lab."
