Eri Amasawa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Amasawa Lab studies, based on life cycle thinking, how society can live well with fewer resources. Current patterns of consumption and production are not sustainable, and they are causing global environmental crises and socioeconomic inequality between people. The lab works on both the design of social systems and their quantitative evaluation. It aims to support decision-making toward a sustainable future.
Masakazu Kobayashi, Professor
1 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies compound semiconductors as a lab in electronic and photonic materials science. The lab investigates how materials change when electricity or light is applied, and how those changes can be put to use. The lab fabricates crystals such as semiconductors and creates fine structures and quantum structures in them, aiming to control the behavior of electrons and photons. Research centers on experiments rather than theory, and is applied to new solar cell materials and semiconductor devices.
Jiro Nishinaga, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishinaga Lab aims to create, with its own hands, semiconductor devices that do not yet exist in the world. Using compound semiconductors, the lab studies properties such as light emission and high-frequency operation that cannot be achieved with the silicon semiconductors used in smartphones and other devices. The lab synthesizes compound semiconductors in-house, evaluates their crystalline, electrical, and optical properties, and creates new semiconductor devices. The lab aims to propose, and put into practical use in society, sensors, light sources, and energy devices that can be used in diverse environments, including in the life sciences.
Michiaki Hamada, Professor
1 student voices
The Hamada Lab studies bioinformatics technologies that are useful for life science and medical research. Using methods such as information science, statistics, and machine learning, the lab analyzes biological big data such as genomes and proteins. These technologies are expected to be useful for next-generation drug discovery and medicine.
Yasuhiro Hayashi, Professor
1 student voices
The Hayashi Lab studies power management technologies suited to a society where renewable energy and electric vehicles are becoming widespread. The lab develops systems for using energy efficiently at scales ranging from individual homes to communities and the entire power grid. Through these technologies, the lab aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and help realize a carbon-neutral society.
Noboru Murata, Professor
1 student voices
The Murata Lab conducts research that explores the potential of data using probability, statistics, and machine learning methods. Drawing on rapidly advancing computer technology and enormous amounts of data, the lab seeks to uncover the essential nature of data. The lab aims to turn these findings into insights that benefit society.
Shinji Wakao, Professor
1 student voices
The Wakao Lab works to solve environmental and energy problems using computer-based simulation technology. The lab develops numerical analysis techniques that make electromagnetic energy devices more efficient, as well as technologies that make better use of renewable energy such as solar power. Undergraduate and graduate students actively present their day-to-day research results at domestic and international conferences.
Yasuaki Wasa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Wasa Lab uses mathematics to study control systems in which people and machines connect well with each other. While sharing the various kinds of information obtained from people and sensors, the lab explores how to build systems that are useful to society. It takes on a wide range of themes, such as energy management in smart cities and control of robots that cooperate with people.
Masato Inoe, Professor
0 student voices
The Inoe Lab's ultimate goal is to create intelligence artificially. Because many hurdles remain before it can be given human-level generality, the lab is currently working on more fundamental problems. The lab believes that processing information according to probabilistic models, and in particular handling high-dimensional distributions efficiently, is an essential foundation for realizing intelligence. The lab believes these techniques and insights will prove powerful not only in speech and image processing but also in bioinformatics, such as the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression.
Hideo Iwasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwasaki Lab explores life through both scientific research and artistic creation and research. Unraveling how organisms exist scientifically is important, but life is not something that biology discovered; it is also a composite concept with a complex social, historical, and philosophical accumulation. The lab believes that what matters is to explore both at the same time while trying to read the relationship between them. The lab regards art as an excellent place for nurturing such interdisciplinary inquiry.
