Fujio Toriumi, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Toriumi Lab studies computational social science and the social application of artificial intelligence. Its subject is systems formed by large numbers of people, such as societies and groups, and its research rests on three pillars: mining, modeling, and design. Through the analysis and design of social media, the analysis of spatiotemporal data, and research on complex networks, the lab aims to realize better social systems.
Yu Chen, Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
The SCS Lab (Complex Systems Simulation Lab) studies "complex systems," in which many elements influence one another. The lab builds discrete models that simplify the elements making up a complex system into particles or agents, and simulates them on computers. It treats fluctuations in financial markets, self-assembly of colloids, and tumor initiation and growth as typical examples of complex systems.
Shigeru Tabeta, Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
The Ocean Environment Systems Lab conducts research on using the ocean sustainably. The lab carries out environmental impact assessments of ocean-use technologies for resources, energy, and food production. Its research also covers technologies and policies for conserving, restoring, and making use of marine and coastal ecosystems. The lab models ocean currents, ecosystems, and socioeconomic systems, and uses computers to predict future changes.
Takashi Shimada, Associate Professor
Data Science & Statistics0 student voices
The Shimada Lab studies "collective phenomena," which arise when many elements come together, based on statistical physics and nonlinear science. Its subjects are a wide range of systems spanning biology, society, and the economy, and have included ecosystems, granular matter, stock markets, and viewing trends on video-sharing sites. The lab conducts its research mainly with computational methods and statistical physics. Recently, it has also been working on evaluating player positioning in soccer and, in collaboration with researchers at the Okinawa Churashima Foundation, analyzing the breeding network of humpback whales.
Kazuki Shibanuma, Associate Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The Shibanuma Lab studies fracture, the process by which materials and structures break. Fracture is closely tied to the safety of buildings and machines, and predicting and controlling it is essential both for designing new materials and structures and for reducing risks to human life. The lab combines theory, experiments, computation, and data science, aiming to establish new methods for explaining fracture phenomena. Fracture mechanics is a discipline that spans a wide range of engineering fields, including mechanical engineering, materials science, naval architecture and ocean engineering, aerospace engineering, and civil engineering.
Kazuyuki Sakaue, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Sakaue Lab pursues research that combines light, represented by lasers, with quantum beams produced by accelerators, in order to open up new light and quantum beam sources. Light and quantum beams are used in a wide range of settings in society, including medical and infrastructure diagnostics and semiconductor manufacturing. The lab also works on making accelerators smaller and on applications to laser processing. It is a newly launched lab, and it is designing and building research equipment that uses lasers and accelerators from scratch.
Mikio Sakai, Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The Sakai Lab studies technology for reproducing industrial processes that handle powders (collections of fine particles and grains) on a computer. Its targets span a wide range of fields, including nuclear engineering, food, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and resource recycling. Toward digital twins that replicate real processes inside a computer, the lab combines multiphysics simulation with AI. The computational models it has developed are incorporated into commercial software, and the lab also runs social collaboration courses with companies.
Yoshihiro Konno, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Konno Lab studies the sustainable development of seabed resources and the effective use of the seabed environment. The lab works on developing methane hydrate, which is expected to become a next-generation natural gas resource. It is also developing technology to store carbon dioxide by making use of the deep-sea seabed environment. Research is carried out through collaboration among industry, national research institutes, and universities.
Yasuhiro Kato, Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
The Kato-Nakamura-Yasukawa Lab studies Earth's resources, environment, and history. The lab discovered "rare-earth mud," deep-sea mud that contains abundant rare earth elements, and established that it exists in the waters around Minamitorishima Island. Faculty and students alike go on mine surveys and research cruises to collect rocks and minerals, and analyze them with their own hands. The lab aims to unravel how the Earth works and its history, and to use that knowledge to make society richer and more sustainable.
Shin Kajita, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Kajita Lab studies plasma with the aim of realizing nuclear fusion. Through experiments, the lab investigates how the plasma inside a fusion reactor acts on the materials of the reactor wall. The lab also works on developing methods for measuring plasma temperature and density. Applied research using metals and metal oxides whose surfaces have been processed with plasma is another of the lab's themes.
