Fumihito Arai, Professor
Robotics & Control5 student voices
The Arai Lab studies robotics and mechatronics based on MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology. Using the concept of "biorobotics," which takes living organisms as models, the lab aims to realize intelligent mechanical systems that have never existed before. The lab has built microrobots that manipulate cells, as well as models that closely replicate the human body for use in surgical training. Applications are wide-ranging, including scientific exploration, medicine and welfare, regenerative medicine, and advanced measurement.
Yuji Suzuki, Professor
Energy & Batteries5 student voices
The Thermofluid Engineering Lab researches energy technologies that contribute to carbon neutrality, as well as ultra-small power generation technologies for battery-free IoT devices. To this end, the lab develops entirely new devices and equipment, and conducts the fundamental research that underlies them. The lab works on energy harvesting that extracts electricity from ambient vibration, combustion of ammonia and hydrogen, and compact power sources that use combustion. The lab has a wide range of equipment for fabricating MEMS.
Yusuke Ito, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech4 student voices
The Ito Lab (Ultrafast Optical Science Lab) studies methods for measuring, at ultrafast timescales, the properties of materials exposed to intense light, as well as methods for controlling those properties. When a femtosecond laser is applied to a material, a variety of physical phenomena occur within an extremely short time. The lab does not merely observe these phenomena; it develops measurement methods that capture them quantitatively. Drawing on the phenomena revealed by these measurements, the lab develops new technologies for processing, medicine, and materials synthesis.
Keisuke Nagato, Professor
AI & Machine Learning4 student voices
Nagato Lab studies production engineering, the foundation of manufacturing, and in particular methods for efficiently creating fine surface structures using lasers and powders. Using nanoimprint, 3D printing, and laser joining, the lab works on elemental technologies for fuel cells, secondary batteries, motors, and more. The lab also pursues research on automatically searching for processing conditions based on data, and research that explores human sensibility and creativity through brain activity. While advancing joint research with many industrial partners, the lab aims to develop leaders for both academia and industry.
Junichiro Shiomi, Professor
Fluids & Heat4 student voices
The Shiomi-Lee-Asano Lab studies mechanisms that transport heat, store it, and convert it into other forms of energy. The lab investigates the behavior of heat across a wide range of scales, from the size of molecules to the macroscopic scale visible to the eye. It develops materials and devices for applications such as power generation by thermoelectric conversion, thermal management of electronic devices and electric vehicles, and radiative cooling. The lab also builds systems that use data science and robotics to make materials development more efficient.
Tamotsu Murakami, Professor
4 student voices
The Design Engineering Lab studies design engineering, humanware engineering, and Kansei design. The lab aims to enable designers to produce excellent designs by making use of their originality and diversity. Another goal is to create products with new value that match the needs, sensibilities, and diversity of the people who use them. Its work ranges from technologies that support design ideation to building mathematical models that represent human sensibility.
Naohiko Sugita, Professor
Materials & Nanotech4 student voices
The Advanced Machining Lab studies machining technologies for making things, as well as machine tool technologies. The lab develops cutting-edge manufacturing processes, machine tool, and laser processing technologies, and aims to apply them to various fields such as medicine. Research groups in machine tools, laser processing, and medical applications carry out their research in cooperation with one another. The lab consists of the Sugita Lab and the Kizaki Lab.
Moju Zhao, Lecturer
Robotics & Control3 student voices
Zhao Lab (DRAGON Lab) researches new robotics grounded in mechanical dynamics. At the center of its work are robots with rotors built into each segment of a jointed body, which allows them to fly. The lab works on the design and control of robots that can not only fly but also walk on the ground and grasp objects in midair. The lab also researches robots that autonomously patrol and inspect factories and forests.
Takuma Ito, Lecturer
Robotics & Control3 student voices
The Intelligent Mobility Lab studies next-generation mobility that combines two approaches to intelligence: autonomous and cooperative. The lab works on perceiving driving environments using onboard sensors and IoT technology, autonomous control of various vehicles, and human-machine cooperative control. Its research covers not only cars but also personal mobility, meaning single-seat electric vehicles. The lab aims to contribute to a safe and secure mobility society.
Ikuya Kinefuchi, Professor
Fluids & Heat3 student voices
The Kinefuchi Lab studies the behavior of gases and liquids flowing through extremely small spaces. In microscopic spaces, a fluid cannot be treated as a continuous medium, and its behavior must be understood from the motion of molecules. Aiming at the utilization of hydrogen and the capture of carbon dioxide, the lab works to elucidate phenomena that occur near interfaces. It investigates how water and gases are transported within the catalyst layers of fuel cells and within membranes that separate carbon dioxide.
