Tetsuya Sato, Professor
1 student voices
Sato Lab is advancing research and development of hypersonic precooled turbojet engines in collaboration with JAXA and other universities. A precooled turbojet engine has a mechanism that cools the air as it takes it in, and can operate continuously over a wide range from the ground up to Mach 6. Aiming to realize future spaceplanes and hypersonic aircraft, the lab researches engines and their component technologies.
Shinsuke Suzuki, Professor
1 student voices
The Suzuki-Gondo Lab studies metallic materials and their processing, using "mechanical," "aeronautical," and "space" as its keywords. Focusing on materials such as metals, the lab researches and develops material processes for controlling material properties and form. In melting, casting and solidification, and plastic working, all fields in which Waseda University has traditionally been strong, the lab advances its techniques while conducting research that builds a solid foundation.
Akihiro Takezawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Takezawa Lab studies structural optimization, a design technique. The lab handles the entire process on its own, from computer-based design that determines optimal shapes to fabricating test specimens and verifying their performance. It particularly focuses on research that combines this approach with technologies for making metal and lattice structures with 3D printers.
Nobumichi Fujisawa, Associate Professor

The Fujisawa Lab studies unstable flows that occur inside turbomachinery, such as aircraft engine compressors. The lab operates together with Prof. Ota as the "Ota-Fujisawa Lab" and conducts its research in cooperation with industry. Prof. Fujisawa has combined tests using the lab's compressors with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis on supercomputers. Through tests and analysis, the lab showed that the instability that becomes a problem in increasingly compact aircraft engine compressors is caused by vortices emitted periodically from the gap between the blades and the wall.
Tomohiro Yanao, Professor
1 student voices
The Yanao Lab studies nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena hidden in natural phenomena ranging from space to life. Built on four fields (space, machine learning, complex systems, and dynamical systems), it covers a wide range, from the motion of celestial bodies to the motion of molecules. It applies the ideas of mechanics to real subjects, such as attitude control of satellites and robots and the analysis of weather data.
Hiroaki Yoshimura, Professor
1 student voices
The Yoshimura Lab uses mathematical equations to study how things move (dynamical systems). It seeks to describe a wide range of phenomena, such as the motion of planets, fluid flow, and attitude control of robots, using geometry and mathematical ideas. Incorporating experiments and numerical computation, the lab works to connect theory with real-world phenomena.
Tomoyuki Tanaka, Professor
1 student voices
The Tanaka Lab is a project-based lab that renovates vacant houses and traditional farmhouses in local communities to create community hubs. Working with local governments, local residents, and companies, the lab takes on the design and renovation of real buildings and spaces. The lab also conducts research that investigates designers' works and compiles their methods.
Keigo Kobayashi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies what roles architecture and cities can play in Japan, where the population is shrinking. Through diverse surveys and analyses, the lab explores the possibilities of new architecture and living spaces from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Targeting towns in Japan and abroad, the lab holds workshops and exhibitions in cooperation with local residents and other universities.
Taishi Watanabe, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Watanabe Lab studies new forms of society and architecture that cross the boundaries of the architectural discipline. The lab practices design across fields and scales, including architecture, design, and urban infrastructure. It surveys the spatial structures of port cities around the world and of cities and settlements in Northern Europe and Asia, to clarify the mechanisms that give rise to architecture.
Haruhiko Goto, Professor
1 student voices
The Goto Lab studies urban and regional landscapes from the two perspectives of regional planning and urban design. It views a landscape as including not only its visible form but also the "seikatsukei" (landscape of everyday life) of the people who live there, and the social systems that support it. Centered on fieldwork, the lab develops methods such as the "Community Development Game of Life," which traces changes in daily life, and oral history. Through building systems of resident self-governance, it aims to create vibrant urban and regional landscapes.
