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.
Kobayashi Hajime, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences3 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab researches technologies for the environment, energy, and decarbonization. The lab works on technology that uses microbes and electricity to produce useful substances, such as fuels, from CO2. Through Social Cooperation Programs with companies, the lab also researches oil and natural gas development, technology for storing CO2 underground, and countermeasures for subsurface environmental contamination.
Yoshikuni Yoshida, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Yoshida Lab takes a broad view of energy and environmental issues and conducts research for the sustainable development of humanity. Its topics range from improving everyday environments to supporting policy decision-making, all of them useful for solving global environmental problems. Using methods from engineering, economics, and behavioral science, the lab evaluates technologies that benefit the environment and their introduction into society. It is particularly strong in cross-disciplinary research that keeps the efficient use of energy in mind.
Tomochika Tokunaga, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Geosphere Environmental Systems Lab studies the environment of the geosphere beneath our feet. The geosphere is used for extracting energy resources, drawing groundwater, disposing of waste, and developing tunnels and underground shopping areas, and these uses also give rise to environmental challenges. The lab seeks to understand and predict how the interaction between humans and nature changes the geosphere environment, and develops the technologies needed to use the geosphere in harmony with the environment.
Jun Takahashi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies advanced composite materials made with carbon fiber and other materials, along with the technologies needed to put them to use in society. For the future of transportation and logistics, including electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the lab develops materials that are lightweight, mass-producible, and easy to recycle. The lab also works on simulation-based design technologies for assist suits and robots used in sports, medical care, and nursing care. In addition, the lab is developing hybrid materials for wind turbines and infrastructure that are buoyant, durable, and easy to repair and reuse.
Ichiro Sakata, Professor
Economics & Social Systems2 student voices
The Sakata-Mori-Asatani Lab uses AI and data science methods to study phenomena related to management, society, and science and technology. The lab works with a wide range of data, including big data from academic papers, social media, corporate transaction records, and review texts. Centered on machine learning, natural language processing, and network analysis, the lab also works on analyzing generative AI (large language models). Students choose their own research topics and the faculty focus on supporting them, so the topics in the lab are highly diverse.
Taro Kanno, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems2 student voices
Kanno Lab studies safe and resilient sociotechnical systems from a human-centered perspective. The lab investigates how teams and organizations cooperate, using models and computer simulations. It also develops business continuity plans (BCPs) for disaster-resilient societies. The lab combines a range of methods, including field observation, experiments with participants, and software development.
Tomoya Kawabata, Professor
Structures & Mechanics2 student voices
The Kawabata Lab studies the mechanical safety assessment of materials used in large structures. In addition to the strength to withstand their own weight and earthquakes, structures need the durability to keep their shape over a long time, and the property of not letting damage spread even when a part fails. The lab mainly works with iron and steel materials, which are easy to process and whose properties change greatly with the addition of alloying elements and with heat treatment. The lab takes a multifaceted approach to research, combining theory-based modeling, experiments and observation, and numerical analysis.
Kazuhiro Aoyama, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace2 student voices
Aoyama Lab studies how to describe and analyze the structure of complex systems (system architecture) and how to create new systems. Products are made by combining many functions, but diverse and complex customer requirements can no longer be met by simple combinations alone. The lab analyzes the structure of a system to find its problems, proposes design solutions that extend to the management of product design and development, and implements those systems. The lab conducts joint research with companies such as Mitsui Fudosan and Toyota Motor, using urban development and manufacturing as its subjects.
