Tetsuya Sakai, Professor
1 student voices
The Sakai Lab mainly studies information retrieval and information access, as well as natural language processing. The lab also works on how search engines operate and on the interaction between people and computers. The lab also places importance on the perspective of social good, applying research results to benefit society.
Kazue Sako, Professor
1 student voices
Sako Lab researches security and privacy technologies to build a safe and secure IT society. Using technologies such as cryptographic protocols and blockchain, the lab explores how to design systems that are easy to use and trustworthy. The lab also works on self-sovereign identity infrastructure, which lets people use their own data for their own benefit.
Kana Shimizu, Professor
1 student voices
Shimizu Lab conducts research that uses computers to analyze biological information such as genomes and to clarify how life works. In recent years, the performance of DNA sequencers, the devices that read DNA sequences, has improved, and the volume of biological data keeps growing explosively. The lab develops new information science techniques for handling this enormous amount of data. The lab also works on privacy-protection technologies for securely analyzing genomes, which are themselves personal information.
Kumiko Tanaka-Ishii-Ishii, Professor
1 student voices
The Tanaka-Ishii Lab uses complex systems theory to study the mathematical properties of natural language. From the perspectives of fractals and chaos, the lab examines the relationship between linguistic structures such as words and grammar and the large-scale regularities seen across language as a whole. The lab builds mathematical models of language that reproduce these findings, and also applies them to natural language processing. Language shares properties with other large-scale social systems such as finance, law, and communication networks, and the lab is also exploring new ways to understand these systems using text and computation.
Tatsuo Nakajima, Professor
1 student voices
Nakajima Lab (DCL) explores unprecedented ways of using computers and researches information technology that enriches people's lives. The lab develops new ways for people to interact with the real world through computers, using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It also conducts research on "happiness technology," which uses methods such as gamification to improve quality of life and satisfaction. The lab also works on dependable software and scalable distributed systems.
Hayato Yamana, Professor
1 student voices
Yamana Lab researches how to turn the abundant data around us, such as social media posts and images, into technologies that benefit society. User-created content (UCC) is growing explosively, and there are high expectations for personalized services that make use of it. The lab covers a wide range of areas, from high-speed data processing, mining algorithms, and user interfaces to the security needed when handling data. It also researches ways to use data while protecting privacy, such as technology for computing on data while it remains encrypted.
Shigeru Shimamoto, Professor
1 student voices
The Shimamoto Lab studies next-generation wireless communications using satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). The lab studies communication methods that connect terrestrial networks with geostationary satellites, low Earth orbit satellites, and HAPS (high altitude platform stations in the stratosphere). It also works on wireless communication between aircraft and with the ground, and on technologies for connecting many base stations at the same time.
Jiang Liu, Professor
1 student voices
The Liu Lab studies intelligent sensing systems that combine signal processing, communications, sensor technology, AI, and edge-cloud collaborative computing. Its targets span a wide range of fields, including autonomous driving, robotics, human-machine integration, and healthcare. The lab goes beyond basic theory, covering everything from algorithms to hardware to implementation in real environments.
Shun Uchino, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Uchino Lab uses the methods of theoretical physics to study quantum many-body systems, which consist of a large number of quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom. The lab focuses on artificial quantum systems such as cold atoms, which are leading candidates for quantum computers and quantum simulators. The lab studies the quantum phenomena that emerge in these artificial quantum systems, in collaboration with experimental groups in Japan and abroad.
Tetsuya Kawanishi, Professor
1 student voices
The Kawanishi Lab studies systems that integrate optical communication and wireless communication. Radio waves and light are both electromagnetic waves, but because the frequencies used for each have differed greatly, they have developed separately until now. Drawing on the strengths of both electronic and optical technologies, the lab works on devices and systems that handle radio waves and light seamlessly. Combining sensing with communication is also a new goal of the lab.
