Masao Arakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Arakawa Lab studies the systematic framework of design for creating better products. It used to be enough to improve performance, but now designers must also consider what users have not yet noticed. The lab's central theme is therefore to establish methods for conceiving better concepts and advancing design toward them. Multi-objective optimization is the pillar of this work, and the lab is developing it as a method that can be extended to many fields.
Kenji Hashimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Hashimoto Lab aims to build robots that surpass the abilities of humans and animals, targeting land, sea, and air, and in the future space environments as well. It works on mobile robots, including legged robots such as humanoids, wheeled and flying robots, and hybrid robots that combine them. Beyond hardware development, the lab also tackles software challenges such as recognizing the surrounding environment, trajectory planning, and whole-body motion generation. Working with developers of component technologies and infrastructure, robot businesses, and others, the lab aims to create a society in which people and robots can be active together easily.
Kazuma Mawatari, Professor
0 student voices
The Mawatari Lab studies micro/nanofluidic devices carved with channels thinner than a human hair. Chemical, biological, and medical analysis requires handling liquids, and it has been difficult to make devices from which information can be easily extracted. The lab therefore combines devices, measurement and analysis, and information technology to build systems that capture information about the environment, food, viruses, and blood. It also works on fundamental research on liquids in nanospace and on single-cell analysis, carrying out interdisciplinary research that spans chemistry, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.
Takeo Miyake, Professor
0 student voices
The Miyake Lab studies bioiontronics, which connects living bodies and devices. The human body is soft and works through the exchange of ions, whereas electronic devices are hard and work through the control of electrons. To organically integrate these contrasting materials, the lab is developing original technologies that combine devices with soft materials that blend in with the body. Its research targets include biopower generation devices, wearable devices, and implantable devices.
Eiichiro Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab aims to devise and build the mechanisms of machines that are useful to people. If the machines it designs make life safer, more comfortable and convenient, and also last a long time, people's quality of life (QOL) improves. To this end, the lab works on machine diagnosis and analysis technologies and on developing life-support devices that support daily living. Its themes are wide-ranging, including walking assist devices, standing-up assist devices, and laser-based gear fault diagnosis.
Shigeyuki Tateno, Professor
0 student voices
The Tateno Lab studies how to monitor the condition of people and objects from remote locations using wireless sensor networks and IoT devices. Its targets include grasping the situation of rescue workers at disaster sites and monitoring health conditions in hospitals and nursing care facilities. Another pillar is production process engineering, where the lab develops systems that quickly detect and diagnose abnormalities occurring in chemical plants. The lab's motto is "Turn new and interesting ideas into something useful to the world!"
Kenji Ueda, Professor
0 student voices
The Ueda Lab studies how to grow thin films as crystals to create materials with new functions. Thin-film materials are widely used in optical functional films, magnetic films, and semiconductor devices, and they support today's information society. In recent years, the lab has been stacking and combining diamond and graphene, both inorganic carbon materials, to create new functional materials. Taking advantage of the distinctive photoconductive properties of graphene–diamond junctions, the lab is developing devices that detect and recognize images, as well as semiconductor power devices.
Takayoshi Shimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Shimura Lab studies materials and processes for semiconductor devices. Aiming at low-power devices that combine electronics and photonics, the lab works with Ge and GeSn, group IV semiconductors that are compatible with silicon. For power devices that handle large amounts of electric power, the lab also develops evaluation techniques that use X-ray topography to examine crystal defects. Through the development of semiconductor devices, the lab aims to contribute to better lives for everyone.
Junko Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies biomedical engineering, applying light and radiation technologies to medicine. Photodynamic therapy is a cancer treatment that uses a photosensitizer, which produces reactive oxygen species and also emits fluorescence when exposed to light. Recently, it has become clear that certain organic compounds produce reactive oxygen species when exposed to radiation. Using such compounds as radiosensitizers is thought to lead to treatments for cancers that respond poorly to radiation.
Kyohei Yamaguchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaguchi Lab studies automotive powertrain systems. In recent years, buyers can choose not only internal combustion engine vehicles but also hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles. Even so, there is a demand to further reduce the environmental impact caused by automobiles. Making full use of experiments and numerical simulation, the lab works to elucidate and model the phenomena in each component, such as engines, catalysts, batteries, and motors.
