Shoji Makino, Professor
0 student voices
Makino Lab studies acoustic signal processing. People take in voices, music, and the sounds of a crowd with two ears and interpret them with the brain. The lab's question is how to achieve this mechanism on a computer. Using both signal processing and deep learning, the lab works on extracting a target sound from a mixture of sounds.
Kiyoto Takahata, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahata Lab studies optoelectronic integration technology that combines LSI (large-scale integrated circuits) and optical devices. As smartphones and video services have spread, the amount of information flowing through the internet has been growing rapidly in recent years. Meeting this demand makes higher speed, larger capacity, and lower power consumption in communication networks key challenges. The lab builds compact optical transceivers for high-speed optical communication systems, and optical-microwave integrated devices aimed at use in mobile networks.
Toru Tanzawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanzawa Lab studies design techniques for making integrated circuits greener. Shipments of integrated circuits, such as those for IoT devices, LSIs for AI, and driver ICs for power semiconductors, keep growing every year. As a result, the total power consumption of integrated circuits keeps rising as well, making it important to reduce power at the circuit and system levels. The lab researches and develops technologies to make digital, analog, memory, and power-supply circuit systems greener.
Shintaro Yamasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamasaki Lab conducts fundamental research on optimal design and applied research on its use in integrated systems and related fields. Optimal design is the approach of mathematically defining design variables, an objective function, and constraints, and deriving the optimal design solution. When design freedom is small, human intuition and experience can solve the problem, but as freedom grows, reaching the optimal solution becomes extremely difficult. With "optimal design" as the keyword, the lab works on a wide range of targets, from integrated devices to automobiles.
Toshihiko Yoshimasu, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshimasu Lab studies high-frequency integrated circuits for wireless communication. Wireless devices such as mobile phones, car navigation systems, and satellite broadcasting receivers have become essential to daily life and work. The lab covers a wide range, from the architecture of the radio section to the modeling of high-frequency transistors. Students work through the whole process: designing with circuit simulators, fabricating prototype chips, and measuring their performance.
Kazunori Serita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Serita Lab studies sensing and system development using terahertz waves. Terahertz waves are electromagnetic waves located exactly between radio waves and visible light. Like radio waves, they pass through many kinds of materials, and like light, they can be focused with lenses, so they make it possible to examine the inside of an object without damaging it. The lab develops highly sensitive, compact systems and sensors using extremely small point light sources, which are created by converting the wavelength of light into terahertz waves.
Makoto Notomi, Professor
0 student voices
Under the banner of "Environmental Systems Assessment," the Notomi Lab studies methods for measuring the value of things related to the environment and energy. The lab aims to show quantitatively, from the three perspectives of environment, economy, and society, the functions of natural capital such as forests, farmland, and rivers. Building on mechanical engineering and thermal engineering, the lab draws on knowledge from a wide range of fields, including sociology, economics, agriculture, and forestry. The lab accepts students who want to tackle environmental and energy problems, whether they come from science and engineering or from the humanities and social sciences.
Yushi Kamiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Kamiya Lab (Electric Vehicle Lab) studies electric vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, and the equipment installed in them. It treats everything as a single flow, from designing batteries, motors, and chargers to building prototype vehicles and evaluating their performance. With electrical engineering as its core, the lab combines mechanical engineering and chemistry in its research. The lab conducts demonstration tests in which vehicles it has developed run on public roads, collecting data from real-world use.
Hiroshi Onoda, Professor
0 student voices
The Onoda Lab does technology development and research on new social systems for building a recycling-oriented society and a low-carbon society. Its research pillars include life cycle assessment of products and systems, the 3Rs, resource circulation, energy creation and energy saving, and next-generation mobility. Centered on engineering, it is an interdisciplinary lab spanning the sciences and humanities, joined by people who have studied social sciences and by working professionals. Keeping "social implementation" in mind, the lab carries out its research in connection with technology development and demonstration projects in which industry, academia, government, and citizens collaborate.
Takashi Nozu, Professor
0 student voices
The Nozu Lab studies, from a public policy perspective, how to realize sustainable regional societies. Its focus is boundary areas where multiple fields intersect, such as the environment, regional revitalization, agriculture, food, energy, and innovation. In collaboration with companies and government agencies, the lab sets research themes that are needed in the real world and aims to give its results back to society. Most members come from humanities and social science faculties, but some come from science and engineering faculties, and working professionals are also enrolled as students.
