Fumihito Arai, Professor
Robotics & Control5 student voices
The Arai Lab studies robotics and mechatronics based on MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology. Using the concept of "biorobotics," which takes living organisms as models, the lab aims to realize intelligent mechanical systems that have never existed before. The lab has built microrobots that manipulate cells, as well as models that closely replicate the human body for use in surgical training. Applications are wide-ranging, including scientific exploration, medicine and welfare, regenerative medicine, and advanced measurement.
Yuji Suzuki, Professor
Energy & Batteries5 student voices
The Thermofluid Engineering Lab researches energy technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality, as well as ultra-small power generation technologies for battery-free IoT devices. To this end, the lab develops entirely new devices and equipment, and conducts the fundamental research that underlies them. The lab works on energy harvesting that extracts electricity from ambient vibration, combustion of ammonia and hydrogen, and compact power sources that use combustion. The lab has a wide range of equipment for fabricating MEMS.
Ito Taichi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech4 student voices
The Ito-Inagaki Lab studies biomedical materials used in the treatment and diagnosis of disease. The lab designs polymeric biomedical materials from the molecular level and applies them to drug delivery systems, regenerative medicine, and medical devices used in surgery. Through joint research with the University of Tokyo Hospital and outside medical institutions, the lab is advancing applications to disease treatment. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Yusuke Ito, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech4 student voices
The Ito Lab (Ultrafast Optical Science Lab) studies methods for measuring, at ultrafast timescales, the properties of materials exposed to intense light, as well as methods for controlling those properties. When a femtosecond laser is applied to a material, a variety of physical phenomena occur within an extremely short time. The lab does not merely observe these phenomena; it develops measurement methods that capture them quantitatively. Drawing on the phenomena revealed by these measurements, the lab develops new technologies for processing, medicine, and materials synthesis.
Keisuke Nagato, Professor
AI & Machine Learning4 student voices
Nagato Lab studies production engineering, the foundation of manufacturing, and in particular methods for efficiently creating fine surface structures using lasers and powders. Using nanoimprint, 3D printing, and laser joining, the lab works on elemental technologies for fuel cells, secondary batteries, motors, and more. The lab also pursues research on automatically searching for processing conditions based on data, and research that explores human sensibility and creativity through brain activity. While advancing joint research with many industrial partners, the lab aims to develop leaders for both academia and industry.
Junichiro Shiomi, Professor
Fluids & Heat4 student voices
The Shiomi-Lee-Asano Lab studies mechanisms that transport heat, store it, and convert it into other forms of energy. The lab investigates the behavior of heat across a wide range of scales, from the size of molecules to the macroscopic scale visible to the eye. It develops materials and devices for applications such as power generation by thermoelectric conversion, thermal management of electronic devices and electric vehicles, and radiative cooling. The lab also builds systems that use data science and robotics to make materials development more efficient.
Tamotsu Murakami, Professor
4 student voices
The Design Engineering Lab studies design engineering, humanware engineering, and Kansei design. The lab aims to enable designers to produce excellent designs by making use of their originality and diversity. Another goal is to create products with new value that match the needs, sensibilities, and diversity of the people who use them. Its work ranges from technologies that support design ideation to building mathematical models that represent human sensibility.
Naohiko Sugita, Professor
Materials & Nanotech4 student voices
The Advanced Machining Lab studies machining technologies for making things, as well as machine tool technologies. The lab develops cutting-edge manufacturing processes, machine tool, and laser processing technologies, and aims to apply them to various fields such as medicine. Research groups in machine tools, laser processing, and medical applications carry out their research in cooperation with one another. The lab consists of the Sugita Lab and the Kizaki Lab.
Yutaka Matsuo, Professor
AI & Machine Learning4 student voices
The Matsuo-Iwasawa Lab conducts basic and applied research in artificial intelligence, centered on deep learning. With the mission of "creating intelligence," the lab works on world models, large language models, robotics, and brain-inspired AI. Beyond research, the lab builds an ecosystem around the technology, including education, social implementation through joint research with companies, and support for starting a company. The lab also offers courses on topics such as deep learning and large language models.
Nariaki Nishino, Professor
Economics & Social Systems4 student voices
The Nishino Lab studies the design of the mechanisms underlying services and socioeconomic systems. The lab takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines engineering and economics, bridging the sciences and the humanities. Its methods include game theory, economic experiments, multi-agent systems, and mechanism design. Its themes include the value of technology, service design, and environmentally conscious economic activity.
