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

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.
Gábor Méhes, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Méhes Lab studies electronic devices made from organic materials and electrochemical systems that use microorganisms. The lab works with organic functional materials such as conductive polymers, light-emitting molecules, and carbon nanotubes, aiming for flexible devices that can be made by printing. It also focuses on how bacteria pass electrons outside their cells, and studies mechanisms that connect microorganisms with electronic circuits. The lab's faculty teach courses in the graduate school on the fundamentals and applications of organic electronics, and on energy conversion and sensing by microorganisms.
Tamio Ikehashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Ikehashi Lab studies applying tiny mechanical components called MEMS to sensors and other devices. MEMS are systems built with microfabrication technology that combine electronics and mechanical engineering. Some MEMS products, such as accelerometers and pressure sensors, are already used in everyday life. Looking ahead to the IoT era, in which large numbers of small, low-cost sensors are used, the lab works on everything from creating new sensors to integrating them with circuits.
Takeshi Ikenaga, Professor
0 student voices
The Ikenaga Lab studies information systems that handle images and video. It envisions a society where people can use information anytime, anywhere, with security and comfort, and aims to build the video information systems that are key to that society. Video compression and video filtering and recognition are its two main pillars. The lab does not stop at devising algorithms; it carries them through to real-time embedded systems and LSIs.
Takaaki Kakitsuka, Professor
0 student voices
Kakitsuka Lab studies semiconductor lasers and their applications to information and communications. Photonics has supported the information society through a wide range of information and communication systems, including optical communications, sensors, and measurement. Today, expectations are growing for reducing the power consumption of data communications and for building high-performance computers with optical neural networks that use light. With optical circuit design as its core technology, the lab proposes light-emitting systems made of optical components such as semiconductor lasers, together with information processing circuits.
Shinji Kimura, Professor
0 student voices
Kimura Lab studies the design of system LSIs and the verification that checks their correctness. Verification is the work of showing that what you have designed is truly correct. Making an LSI takes a large cost and a long time, so its correctness must be shown at the design stage. The lab works on both building circuits that are fast, small in area, and low in power consumption, and automatically showing that their designs contain no errors.
