Yoshihiko Arao, Professor
1 student voices
The Arao Lab studies how to bring out the excellent properties of nanomaterials such as graphene in order to create new mechanical materials. Nanosheets tend to aggregate and are difficult to disperse, so the lab researches techniques for mass-producing high-quality nanosheets at low cost. Using the nanosheets it produces, the lab works on developing high-strength plastics, materials with high thermal conductivity, transparent conductive films, and more.
Eiji Iwase, Professor
1 student voices
The Iwase Lab studies micromachines and MEMS, tiny machines ranging in size from tens of nanometers to hundreds of micrometers. In the "small world," electrostatic force, friction, and surface tension have a greater influence than gravity, so approaches different from those used for large machines are needed. By actively exploiting these characteristics, the lab researches how to assemble fine structures, as well as sensors, actuators, displays, and other devices that have advantages at small scales.
Yutaka Ohta, Professor
1 student voices
The Ohta-Fujisawa Lab works with industry to study the mechanisms of unsteady phenomena that occur inside turbomachinery. Unstable phenomena inside turbomachinery lead to problems such as unstable operation, increased noise, and equipment damage. Using large-scale experimental facilities and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis code developed in the lab, the lab works to clarify these phenomena.
Kiyoshi Saito, Professor
1 student voices
Saito Lab researches energy conversion engineering spanning electrical, mechanical dynamics, and thermal energy systems. Using "circuit theory," which can be applied in common to analyses in different engineering fields, the lab has built a unified analytical theory for energy systems. Based on this theory, the lab works on developing thermal energy equipment such as heat pumps and on building a decarbonized society that makes use of hydrogen energy and renewable energy.
Tetsuya Sato, Professor
1 student voices
Sato Lab is advancing research and development of hypersonic precooled turbojet engines in collaboration with JAXA and other universities. A precooled turbojet engine has a mechanism that cools the air as it takes it in, and can operate continuously over a wide range from the ground up to Mach 6. Aiming to realize future spaceplanes and hypersonic aircraft, the lab researches engines and their component technologies.
Shinsuke Suzuki, Professor
1 student voices
The Suzuki-Gondo Lab studies metallic materials and their processing, using "mechanical," "aeronautical," and "space" as its keywords. Focusing on materials such as metals, the lab researches and develops material processes for controlling material properties and form. In melting, casting and solidification, and plastic working, all fields in which Waseda University has traditionally been strong, the lab advances its techniques while conducting research that builds a solid foundation.
Akihiro Takezawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Takezawa Lab studies structural optimization, a design technique. The lab handles the entire process on its own, from computer-based design that determines optimal shapes to fabricating test specimens and verifying their performance. It particularly focuses on research that combines this approach with technologies for making metal and lattice structures with 3D printers.
Nobumichi Fujisawa, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Fujisawa Lab studies unstable flows that occur inside turbomachinery, such as aircraft engine compressors. The lab operates together with Prof. Ota as the "Ota-Fujisawa Lab" and conducts its research in cooperation with industry. Prof. Fujisawa has combined tests using the lab's compressors with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis on supercomputers. Through tests and analysis, the lab showed that the instability that becomes a problem in increasingly compact aircraft engine compressors is caused by vortices emitted periodically from the gap between the blades and the wall.
Tomohiro Yanao, Professor
1 student voices
The Yanao Lab studies nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena hidden in natural phenomena ranging from space to life. Built on four fields (space, machine learning, complex systems, and dynamical systems), it covers a wide range, from the motion of celestial bodies to the motion of molecules. It applies the ideas of mechanics to real subjects, such as attitude control of satellites and robots and the analysis of weather data.
Hiroaki Yoshimura, Professor
1 student voices
The Yoshimura Lab uses mathematical equations to study how things move (dynamical systems). It seeks to describe a wide range of phenomena, such as the motion of planets, fluid flow, and attitude control of robots, using geometry and mathematical ideas. Incorporating experiments and numerical computation, the lab works to connect theory with real-world phenomena.
