Tomoo Mizugaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Catalyst Design Group (Mizugaki Lab) develops high-performance solid catalysts aimed at environmentally friendly manufacturing (green chemistry). Catalysts are substances that govern the conversion of matter and energy, and most everyday products around us are made using catalytic reactions. Pursuing 'manufacturing in harmony with nature,' the lab develops high-performance solid catalysts that enable environmentally friendly chemical conversion processes. Specifically, it works on turning environmental pollutants into resources, green and highly efficient oxidation reactions, and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions that minimize waste.

The Molecular Assembly Chemical Engineering Lab studies soft molecular assemblies, such as solutions, micelles, and lipid membranes, that combine order and fluctuation. When molecules assemble, a wide range of functions emerge depending on conditions such as mixing ratio, temperature, and pressure. The lab aims to uncover the unifying principles behind these functions and to develop guidelines for designing the function of whole assemblies from the properties of individual molecules. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Molecular Assembly Chemical Engineering Group (Matubayasi Lab)."
Takahiko Ban, Lecturer

The Transport Phenomena Control Lab conducts research that integrates thermodynamics and transport phenomena, aiming to create new energy technologies and new academic fields. Today's energy industry relies on complex operations in which multiple irreversible processes are combined, far from equilibrium. Conventional approaches cannot control or predict all of these technologies. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Transport Phenomena Control Group (Okano Lab)."
Hiroshi Umakoshi, Professor

The Bio-Inspired Chemical Engineering Lab takes the mechanisms of cells as a model, aiming to create environmentally harmonious processes for producing materials. A cell can be regarded as a tiny chemical factory that efficiently produces materials and energy, with biomolecules and organelles located in a space enclosed by biological membranes. The lab focuses on how biological membranes act as sites that gather molecules and as sites where chemical reactions proceed efficiently. Using liposomes, a model of biological membranes, as materials, the lab works on the design and development of catalysts, carrier materials, and material production processes.
Shinji Sakai, Professor

The Biomaterials Design Group (Sakai Lab) researches how to use the functions of living organisms as materials, and designs and develops materials and methods that control biological functions. The lab aims to contribute to medical and healthcare fields such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery, as well as to advances in food production. Its research includes 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering using enzymes, tissue construction using robotics, and Lab-on-a-Chip.
Takayuki Hirai, Professor

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

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.
