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.
Hirokazu Sugiyama, Professor
3 student voices
The Sugiyama-Badr Lab studies process systems engineering (PSE), a branch of chemical engineering. The lab represents steps such as reaction and separation, and the whole processes made up of them, with mathematical models, and searches for optimal systems through simulation. Its main targets are pharmaceutical manufacturing and energy and sustainability issues such as a hydrogen society and recycling. The lab conducts research with awareness of the connections from molecules and cells to processes and social systems.
Seiichi Ohta, Associate Professor
Medicine & Healthcare2 student voices
The Ohta Lab studies new diagnostic technologies that use nanoparticles. Depending on their size and shape, nanoparticles behave differently from ordinary-sized materials. By combining techniques for precisely controlling particle size, shape, and surface with the systems-oriented approach of chemical engineering, the lab aims to bring out that potential. The lab is developing methods to detect, with high sensitivity, simultaneously, and easily, the changes that occur in the body with disease.
Toru Wakihara, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Wakihara Lab studies materials with tiny, nanometer-sized pores, with a focus on zeolites. Zeolites are used in catalysts for petroleum-related processes and in catalysts that treat automobile exhaust, and their use is also expected to expand to adsorbents and separation membranes. The lab is distinctive in combining methods for building materials from the atomic and molecular level with the development of manufacturing processes designed from a larger-scale perspective. As a new lab, it welcomes visits from interested students.
Yamada Atsuo, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Yamada-Kitada Lab studies materials for secondary batteries, which store and release electricity. The lab's research targets solid electrode materials and liquid electrolyte materials. The lab handles the whole process in one continuous flow, from synthesizing new materials to elucidating reaction mechanisms and verifying how they perform as batteries. Experimental and computational researchers work on equal footing in the lab, exchanging insights daily as they advance their research.
Toshio Mogi, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Mogi Lab studies disasters caused by combustion, such as fires and explosions. Drawing on combustion science and chemical fluid dynamics, the lab takes on a wide range of work, from clarifying how these phenomena occur to developing disaster prevention technologies and ways of thinking about safety. Few universities study fires and explosions through experiments, and this lab also conducts outdoor gas explosion experiments, among other work. The lab accepts individual visits from students who are considering joining for their undergraduate thesis research or graduate studies.
Kazuhiro Takanabe, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis2 student voices
The Takanabe-Obata-Kishimoto Lab studies catalysts that convert energy efficiently, as well as the mechanisms of their reactions. Its targets are reactions essential to a decarbonized society, such as hydrogen production, CO2 conversion, and ammonia synthesis. The lab works across catalytic reactions driven by heat, electricity, light, and microwaves, searching for the principles common to energy conversion. It treats everything as one connected whole, from understanding at the atomic level to the design of reactors and electrochemical cells (vessels in which reactions are driven by electricity).
Yasuyuki Sakai, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences2 student voices
The Sakai-Nishikawa Lab studies how to reassemble cells from organs and tissues into three-dimensional structures outside the body. The lab aims to use the tissues it creates for regenerative medicine and for evaluating the effects of drugs and chemicals without using animals. Inside the body, blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients, but it is a difficult challenge to supply substances throughout densely packed cells outside the body. The lab tackles this challenge with chemical system engineering methods that quantitatively treat mass flow, diffusion, and reaction.
Kenichi Tonokura, Professor
Environment & Sustainability1 student voices
The Tonokura Lab studies phenomena caused by chemical substances in the atmosphere and their effects on the environment. Drawing on methods from physical chemistry and spectroscopy, the lab investigates atmospheric components and how they change. In particular, to understand the mechanisms by which substances harmful to human health transform in the atmosphere, the lab develops measurement instruments and analyzes chemical reactions.
Yoshiko Tsuji, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
Tsuji Lab studies eco-friendly functional thin-film materials that use resources effectively, with the aim of building a sustainable society. For thin-film materials used in displays and solar cells, the lab clarifies the relationships among fabrication methods, structure, and function, and develops materials based on designs set in advance. The lab is researching how to make organic and inorganic thin films through low-cost coating and drying processes. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
