Kenshi Baba, Professor
0 student voices
The Baba Lab studies environmental, energy, and climate change policy in cities and regions. Drawing on environmental policy studies, policy process theory, consensus building, and behavioral science, the lab investigates how policies are decided and how people act. Its specific subjects include discussions over facility siting, surveys in which citizens participate, and how environmentally friendly behavior spreads. In the graduate school, the lab is in charge of Environmental and Energy Governance Research and accepts students in the master's and doctoral programs.
Takanari Ouchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ouchi Lab develops processes for producing metals with high efficiency, as well as recycling processes that recover metals after use. The lab aims to support advanced technology by efficiently converting energy into the form of metals. Building on physical chemistry, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, reaction engineering, and materials science, the lab works with precious metals, rare metals, and reactive metals. The lab was established in April 2026 and is recruiting graduate students and postdocs.
Takashi Otsuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Otsuki Lab (Environmental and Energy Systems Engineering Lab) studies the planning and assessment of energy and power systems for a sustainable society. The lab builds models using mathematical programming and geographic information, and calculates future energy mixes and the costs of decarbonization technologies. It is an interdisciplinary field bridging the sciences and the humanities, closely tied not only to engineering and science but also to economics and the social sciences. The lab also conducts joint research with energy companies and external research institutes, and accepts students in the master's and doctoral programs.
Tomomi Kito, Professor
0 student voices
The Kito Lab studies how companies and people interact to form the economy and society, and how they keep creating value within it. Its approach combines three fields: complex systems, value creation, and network science. The lab takes the shape of the connections themselves as its object of analysis, including transaction relationships between companies, supply chains, and teamwork. The lab analyzes real-world data, builds models, runs simulations, and develops theory, and collaborates with experts in related fields such as management, economics, and sociology.
Koji Mihara, Professor
0 student voices
The Mihara Lab (Service System Design Lab) studies the design of systems for "koto" (services and experiences), which deliver intangible value. It takes on the big question of how to design systems that create new value. The lab regards most management activities, such as business strategy, business planning, human resource development, marketing, and sales, as service systems that provide value through "koto." Research on service system design, ranging from social systems to production systems, is carried out mainly by working-adult graduate students and researchers.
Qian Huang, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Huang Lab conducts research and education on global logistics management, which moves goods across national borders. Its central question is how to build seamless "collaboration" mechanisms among the different functions of manufacturing, logistics, and sales. The lab also focuses on overall efficiency and resilience, and conducts research to promote modal shift, including rail freight transport. It approaches these problems from the standpoint of management engineering, using mathematical optimization and comprehensive evaluation methods.
Kanetaka Maki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Maki Lab's research area is innovation and entrepreneurship. Its main subjects are the process by which startups and new businesses emerge, and the design of innovation ecosystems that span universities, companies, and public policy. Through data analysis and field experiments, students learn methodologies for evidence-based decision-making. The lab aims to develop the ability to envision new businesses and institutions that create economic value and social value at the same time.
Kyojiro Nambu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nambu Lab conducts research that aims to solve problems found in medical practice through the power of engineering. To date, the lab has developed quantitative diagnostic imaging methods and technologies that reduce X-ray radiation exposure, and has co-proposed "Advanced Engineering Surgery" as a field of surgery for making full use of the outcomes of engineering. It has carried out research and development on information-guided surgical devices, surgical safety engineering, and transplantation device engineering. The lab regards medical regulatory science as a methodology for pursuing fair regulation, which is essential for turning technology into products and making them widely available.
Ken Masamune, Professor
0 student voices
The Masamune Lab has consistently worked on developing advanced therapeutic devices that assist surgery. It has developed surgical navigation robots that move while MRI and other images are being acquired, augmented reality systems that overlay medical images directly onto the patient, and new endoscopic devices that safely observe and treat deep inside the body. At the joint graduate school, the lab conducts research closer to clinical practice from within the medical school, and focuses on deepening regulatory science, which is essential for bringing research results to market. The lab welcomes students interested in the development and evaluation of medical device products.
Masayuki Yamato, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamato Lab studies regenerative medicine, with tissue engineering and stem cell biology as its two pillars. Regenerative medicine is a field that combines stem cell biology with tissue engineering, which reassembles the structure of tissues from cultured cells. Whereas molecular biology tries to understand life by breaking organisms down into their parts, the lab seeks to understand life through the practice of building tissues. Because this is an entirely new kind of medicine with no existing models, and because the lab believes that preparing the social environment is also important, it aims to build its own regulatory science.
