Lui Yoshida, Associate Professor
Software & Computing2 student voices
The Yoshida Lab combines insights from education with technologies such as generative AI to study "systems" that create enjoyable, deep learning. Here, a "system" means not only a program but the whole mechanism of learning: who is taught, by what method, what is evaluated, and how it is improved. In addition to developing systems that support learning, the lab also creates educational programs and teaching approaches. The lab places importance on having people actually use what it creates, evaluating it, and applying the results to the next improvement.
Shinichiro Hirabayashi, Associate Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Hirabayashi Lab studies technologies for using ocean energy, such as wind and waves, as well as ocean space. Japan has limited land area but is surrounded by vast seas, which hold great potential for solving resource and energy problems. The lab puts particular emphasis on research on floating offshore wind turbines, which suit the deep waters around Japan. It also works on analyzing how floating structures sway in currents, and on planning systems that use ocean space.
Masataka Watanabe, Associate Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Watanabe Lab aims to uncover how consciousness arises in the brain (the neural mechanisms of consciousness) by developing and testing artificial consciousness. Using spiking neural networks that mimic the workings of neurons in the brain, the lab aims to build a machine in which consciousness resides. To verify whether consciousness has arisen in a machine, the lab also pursues research and development of a new brain-machine interface that connects the brain and the machine. This research looks ahead to the realization of consciousness uploading in the near future.
Shinichi Yamashita, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Yamashita Lab studies radiation chemistry and related fields. Radiation chemistry covers not only the chemical reactions that radiation induces but also the related physics, biology, and applications. The lab aims to control the randomness that characterizes radiation, so that radiation can be used actively rather than passively. It takes on the challenge of elucidating the principles of the phenomena that radiation causes in various complex systems, such as biological systems and nuclear power systems.
Murakami Shinsuke, Professor
Economics & Social Systems1 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies the design and evaluation of social systems that overcome resource constraints. The lab descends from the Rock Engineering Lab, which worked on mine development, particularly mining engineering, and it still draws on that expertise today. Today, through mine management and resource economics, the lab explores what "sustainable resource use and development" should look like from a broader perspective. One of its goals is to reflect the problems arising from the use of natural resources in research on the SDGs and the circular economy, and to design social systems that overcome those problems.
Kenta Murakami, Associate Professor
Energy & Batteries1 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies safety management of nuclear power plants and nuclear materials. The safety of a nuclear power plant can be improved even after construction is complete, throughout the entire period in which the plant remains in use. The lab studies how to manage this, from the perspectives of using risk information, maintenance, and aging management. In its materials research, the lab uses experiments and analysis to clarify complex phenomena that arise from the interaction between radiation and matter, with the aim of providing highly reliable nuclear materials.
Hideaki Miyamoto, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Miyamoto Lab studies space resources science, a new academic field. The lab participates in exploration missions led by JAXA, NASA, and others, investigating the surfaces of asteroids, Mars, and the Moon to understand the true nature of the resources found there. From their undergraduate years, students can work with actual data obtained from exploration missions and conduct research related to those missions. No prior knowledge of space or Earth science is required, as long as you are interested in doing cutting-edge research.
Katsunori Mizuno, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing1 student voices
Mizuno Lab conducts research that addresses environmental issues, drawing on measurement engineering and information science. The lab develops new measurement technologies that use ultrasound and light to obtain quantitative data on environments such as seas and lakes efficiently. The images and other data collected are analyzed through information processing centered on deep learning (AI). Members often go out on fieldwork, and the lab carries its technologies all the way to practical use in society.
Jun Matsushima, Professor
Energy & Batteries1 student voices
The Matsushima Lab studies geophysical exploration, which investigates conditions underground, and energy resources. Drawing on seismic surveys, laboratory experiments, and theory, the lab works on methods for evaluating resources such as methane hydrate. The lab also studies the “quality” of energy by comparing the energy used to extract a resource with the energy obtained from it. Its research also covers muography, geothermal resources, and geological storage of carbon dioxide.
Kazuo Hiekata, Professor
AI & Machine Learning1 student voices
The lab studies society and business as systems made up of people, technology, and institutions. It supports decision-making through modeling, simulation, data analysis, and team workshops. Its research topics include the decarbonization of shipping, the automation of ships and vehicles, and transportation services in depopulated areas. The lab also studies teamwork and consensus building, which are needed to put good solutions into practice in society.
