Hiroshi Okuda, Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The Okuda-Matsunaga Lab conducts research in computational mechanics, using large-scale simulations on supercomputers to address challenges in manufacturing and society. The lab goes beyond computing physical phenomena. It develops simulators that also take society, people, and the global environment into account, so that scenarios for how artifacts function and are introduced can be reworked. The lab develops parallel finite element analysis software and studies fluid simulation using particle methods. The lab also conducts joint research with companies, aiming to develop technologies that are useful in industry.

Yukio Ohsawa, Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Ohsawa Lab studies how to design the whole of a business that uses data. Data is merely the result of observing events in the world from the surface, so the lab places importance on understanding the events, situations, and human behavior behind it. The lab has created methods of "chance discovery," which find from data the events and situations that matter when people decide how to act. Together with companies, the lab runs a Social Cooperation Program, and engages in research and education that develop the ability to put data to use in business.

Hiroaki Abe, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
Abe Lab studies materials that support the safety of nuclear fission reactors and fusion reactors. The lab develops materials for fusion reactors and new-type fission reactors (Generation IV reactors), both of which are expected to be future energy sources, and conducts materials research to improve the safety of current reactors. In the extreme environment inside a reactor, the lab investigates how steel materials and zirconium (Zr) alloys degrade through irradiation, corrosion, and hydrogen absorption (hydriding), using microstructural analysis and mechanical strength measurements. Based on these results, the lab also works on developing new materials and new testing methods.

Katsuyuki Suzuki, Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The lab uses mathematical methods such as optimal design and machine learning to optimize the design of systems in which structures, artifacts, people, and society interact. Its targets are wide-ranging, including naval architecture, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and sports engineering. The lab works closely with industry, advancing the design of actual products through joint research with companies. The Suzuki Lab and the Yonekura Lab jointly conduct part of their research and education.

Yusuke Hara, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
Hara Lab focuses on people's activities and travel behavior in cities, and conducts research to solve social challenges facing cities and regions. Using data such as GPS movement records of people and vehicles and social media, the lab develops methods for understanding activity in cities. Using game theory, the lab designs the institutions and pricing needed to bring new forms of mobility, such as autonomous driving, sharing services, and MaaS, into cities. The lab values both theoretical rigor and practical usability.

Long Yin, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
Long Lab studies sustainability in everyday life. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to topics such as medicine and health, food, mobility, CO2 emissions from household consumption, and urban livability. The lab combines environmental systems analysis, big data, map-based spatial analysis, and quantitative methods that inform policy.
