Takashi Hasuike, Professor
0 student voices
Hasuike Lab conducts wide-ranging research on decision-making under uncertainty, from model building to decision support. Uncertainty comes in many kinds, from things that vary probabilistically to vague things that exist within people, such as the interpretation of words or intuition. Research proceeds by abstracting real problems into mathematical models, then evaluating and analyzing the answers obtained through optimization. The lab targets situations with diverse evaluation criteria, such as financial engineering, supply chain management, tourism science, and human behavior analysis.
Tomomi Nonaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Nonaka Lab studies the design of business and social systems from the perspectives of systems engineering and service engineering. The lab works on designing production systems that start from human information such as job fulfillment and satisfaction. Its research also covers the design of sustainable business and social systems, and value co-creation that makes use of food and local resources. In recent years, the lab has also been researching ways to improve the quality of life of ordinary people staying in space (space QOL).
Reiko Hishiyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Hishiyama Lab studies how to understand the interactions among people, computers, and agents. Its central theme is to capture the structure of knowledge communities through empirical approaches and to redesign how people and machines relate to each other. The lab places importance on connections with theories from the social sciences and management science, and approaches understanding through actually observed data and simulations. In the course of this work, the lab uses computer science techniques to develop research systems that serve as new tools for analysis.
Yutaka Sakakibara, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakakibara Lab specializes in water environment engineering and studies technologies for cleaning water and for protecting the water environment. The lab is advancing research and development on the biological advanced oxidation process (Bio-AOP), which uses the action of living organisms to break down contaminants. The lab also works on technologies for protecting and restoring the water environment. Undergraduate thesis topics include advanced water treatment and water reuse, risk assessment for aquatic organisms, and groundwater remediation using natural energy.
Masato Sekine, Professor
0 student voices
The Sekine Lab focuses its research on two areas: mobile-bed hydraulics and urban flooding. Through experiments and numerical prediction, the lab clarifies how river landforms are created as sand and gravel on the riverbed move. The other pillar is predicting flooding in the above-ground and underground spaces of large cities and evaluating flood risk. The lab aims to apply this to guiding evacuation for people living in cities and to building cities resilient to heavy rain.
Hideo Komine, Professor
0 student voices
The Komine Lab develops geotechnical engineering from a new perspective in order to contribute to society in the 21st century. In the spirit of "Let's do some interesting experimental research," the lab carries out research based on students' own ideas. Under the slogan "Doctors of the Earth," the lab covers a wide range, from environmental geotechnics that serves a decarbonized society and the global environment to energy civil engineering that contributes to energy policy. The lab also pursues research on future civil engineering technologies such as ICT-based civil engineering and space civil engineering, as well as soil contamination countermeasures and the mitigation of natural disasters.
Kuniaki Sasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Sasaki Lab is an urban planning lab at Waseda University that deals with urban issues in general. Facing issues such as traffic congestion, land use, and disaster prevention, the lab analyzes a wide variety of data and makes proposals toward a better environment. The lab models how people behave under various conditions and predicts the resulting effects. With the cooperation of many companies, organizations, and local governments, the lab also conducts community-rooted research in various places across Japan.
Hisanao Ouchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Ouchi Lab is built on reservoir engineering, which quantitatively evaluates fluid flow underground. The lab studies how to efficiently produce conventional resources such as oil and natural gas, as well as unconventional resources such as shale gas and methane hydrate. The lab is advancing the development of numerical simulators and "history matching" techniques, which estimate subsurface properties from observational data such as production history. The lab also applies reservoir engineering to develop technologies for making effective use of underground space that contribute to reducing carbon dioxide.
Takumi Ueda, Professor
0 student voices
Ueda Lab studies geophysical exploration, a technology for learning what lies beneath the ground without digging. Using physical phenomena such as electromagnetic fields, elastic waves, magnetism, and gravity, the lab obtains subsurface information non-destructively. Centered on electrical and electromagnetic exploration methods based on electromagnetic phenomena, the lab works on calculations that predict the measured responses and on inverse analysis, which estimates the subsurface structure from observed data. The lab places importance on balancing field surveys, the development of exploration systems, analytical theory, and numerical simulation by computer.
Chiharu Tokoro, Professor
0 student voices
Tokoro Lab studies technologies for extracting resources from used products so that they can be used again. For each of the basic steps of recycling, namely comminution and separation, sorting, and recovery, the lab works to elucidate the mechanisms and develop technologies. The lab is divided into four teams for research: electric pulse, chemistry, DEM simulation, and comminution and separation. The main targets are wastes that will appear in large quantities in the coming years, such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and carbon fiber reinforced plastics.
