Takao Takao, Professor
0 student voices
The Takao Lab conducts research from the perspective of exergy engineering, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions in power and energy systems. Centered on CO2 separation, capture, storage, and utilization, the lab studies systems that produce energy and materials simultaneously. The lab aims to make technologies that prevent CO2 from being released into the atmosphere practical in society, and to contribute to carbon neutrality in industry by 2050. The lab is developing concrete made from seawater and CO2, and a technology that fixes CO2 by accelerating rock weathering.
Kosei Ishimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishimura Lab conducts research aiming to realize 'global structures,' large structures that extend across space. Until now, external environmental forces have been treated as something to be removed in order to maintain a structure's shape and function; the lab takes the opposite stance and makes use of them. It treats forces received from the environment and control forces as structural elements on par with structural members, and creates new systems by designing mechanical interactions.
Kiyotaka Iwasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwasaki Lab pioneers the boundary between mechanical engineering and medicine, working on the development and evaluation of advanced therapeutic devices. Beyond developing new therapeutic devices, the lab builds unprecedented test systems that replicate patients' physical conditions. It uses these test systems for the efficient development of therapeutic devices, and also works on methods to evaluate their efficacy and safety. Through joint research with physicians working on the front lines of clinical care, the lab pursues research directly tied to real-world medicine.
Hiroyasu Iwata, Professor
0 student voices
The Iwata Lab conducts research and development centered on robot technology (RT) that assists humans. Its work covers rehabilitation support, medical support, sports skill acquisition support, and a "third arm" that can be controlled at will. The lab designs its devices by focusing on how humans perceive and move, and on the mechanical properties of the human body. It works with hospitals and companies to bring its technologies into practical use, and also collaborates with other labs at the university on operator support for disaster-response robots and on electronic applications of nanosheets.
Shinjiro Umezu, Professor
0 student voices
Umezu Lab develops technologies at the micro and nano scale, targeting robots and living bodies. It creates technologies related to thin-film electronics, 3D printers, and AI. Its research covers a wide range, including 3D printers for use on the Moon, electronic devices attached to living bodies, and cyborg insects. Its research themes also include 3D printers that combine metal and resin, AI and IoT for healthcare, and printed electronics.
Kenji Takizawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Takizawa Lab develops computational techniques for fluid–structure interaction (FSI) and works to understand complex phenomena. Fluid–structure interaction refers to phenomena in which flow and structure affect each other, such as the deformation of a parachute or the beating of a heart. Using supercomputers, the lab investigates these phenomena through simulations that remain faithful to theory. The lab applies its computational techniques to a wide range of fields, including biotechnology, space engineering, and energy science.
Hiroyuki Ishii, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishii Lab develops robots and mechanical systems that coexist with a variety of living things, including humans, animals, and plants. It treats the interaction between living things and robots as a single closed loop and actively makes use of the adaptation that living things possess. In doing so, the lab aims to create new kinds of symbiotic relationships between living things and robots. Aiming at creative, hands-on making of things, the lab values thinking together with the people who will use the robots in the field, rather than keeping the work within the lab.
Masami Matsubara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Matsubara Lab studies mechanical materials and the mechanical systems made by combining them. The lab aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of machines that support modern society, such as transportation systems and heavy electrical equipment. To this end, it investigates the mechanisms that determine the structural mechanical properties and studies methods for designing them. Its main research areas are tire vibration, measurement by image processing, and evaluation of the physical properties of materials.
Tomoji Kishi, Professor
0 student voices
Kishi Lab tackles problems in software engineering, centered on software design that makes use of modeling techniques. Software engineering is the field that studies how to build, use, and evolve software in a rapidly changing business and technology environment. The lab deals with questions such as what architecture to use to build software, how to efficiently build similar pieces of software, and how to verify the correctness of the software that has been built. The lab tries to understand software in connection with the real world and to solve problems from a variety of perspectives and with a variety of techniques.
Hiroshige Dan, Professor
0 student voices
Dan Lab studies mathematical methods for making organizational management more efficient and for supporting managerial decision-making. The environment surrounding organizations such as companies, national governments, and local governments grows more complex every year, and mathematical methods and computer support have become indispensable. The lab's research focuses on two areas: mathematical optimization and network analysis. Through basic and applied research in these areas, the lab aims to develop people with a high level of both research ability and technical skill.
