Tomoyuki Yamamoto, Professor
2 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab uses quantum theory to study various properties of solid materials. Through both experiments and computation, the lab clarifies how atomic-level defects and additives affect material properties. In recent years, it has also worked on perovskites used in solar cells, phosphors, and the search for new materials using machine learning. The lab also studies a method for measuring bone strength by analyzing sounds coming from the bone.
Takanobu Watanabe, Professor
2 student voices
The Watanabe Lab researches silicon electronics to support the coming age of IoT and AI. It develops thermoelectric power generation devices that make use of silicon microfabrication technology, as well as flapping-wing drones controlled by AI. The lab aims to realize "swarm sensing," in which small sensors move on their own to collect information. From materials to devices and systems, the lab pursues its research through both theoretical calculation and experiment.
Tetsuya Yaguchi, Professor
2 student voices
The Yaguchi Lab studies urban design, focusing on the urban spaces that surround us in daily life. The lab reads the urban environment at many levels, from the architectural scale to the district and the wider metropolitan region. Students learn through hands-on activities, including development plans for overseas cities, design competitions, and joint research with local governments and companies. Through these activities, students aim to build the ability to make concrete proposals as urban designers.
Tomoyuki Miyashita, Professor
2 student voices
The Miyashita Lab (System Design Lab) studies technologies that support the design of machines and structures. Using mechanical properties and artificial intelligence, the lab also works on designing machines that operate in special environments such as space and the deep sea. The lab places importance on actually building what it designs in order to verify it.
Hiromi Nakai, Professor
2 student voices
The Nakai Lab studies quantum chemical calculation methods that can handle large molecules and proteins. Using the divide-and-conquer (DC) method, the system is divided into parts and calculated part by part, which greatly shortens computation time. The lab also develops new methods, such as relativistic calculations for molecules containing heavy elements and approaches that take even the motion of atomic nuclei into account.
Toshimichi Usuba, Professor
1 student voices
The Usuba Lab studies axiomatic set theory, a foundational field of mathematics. In particular, it studies set theory related to "large cardinals," which measure the size of sets, and the "axiom of choice," one of the axioms underlying mathematics. As an application, the lab also works on set-theoretic topology, which uses set theory to investigate the properties of spaces.
Takashi Kumagai, Professor
1 student voices
Kumagai Lab uses probability theory to study the properties of complex shapes such as fractals. The lab constructs random walks and Brownian motion on complex shapes and investigates physical properties such as how heat propagates. Fractals have no smoothness, so ordinary differentiation cannot be used, but the methods of probability theory remain effective even on non-smooth spaces. In addition to probability theory, the lab conducts interdisciplinary research connected to a wide range of fields, including harmonic analysis and function space theory.
Kazunaga Tanaka
1 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies nonlinear partial differential equations using a mathematical technique called variational methods. It targets equations whose solutions do not have simple forms, such as nonlinear elliptic equations and Hamiltonian systems. The lab uses mathematics to determine whether solutions to these equations exist and what form they take.
Hiroaki Narita
1 student voices
The Narita Lab studies number theory, in particular functions called automorphic forms. Number theory is a field of mathematics that investigates the properties of prime numbers and integer solutions, and automorphic forms are one of its research tools. The lab works on constructing automorphic forms explicitly and clarifying their number-theoretic properties.
Masahide Kashiwagi, Professor
1 student voices
Kashiwagi Lab studies verified numerical computation, which guarantees that the results of numerical computation are correct. The lab works on methods for finding all solutions of multivariable equations, and on interval arithmetic, a way of computing with ranges. It also studies methods for computing solutions of ordinary differential equations with mathematically guaranteed accuracy.
