Tsuyoshi Furushima, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Furushima Lab (Deformation Processing Lab) builds on metal forming and plasticity engineering to study why metallic materials deform the way they do. Starting from observation of the fine microstructure of materials, the lab covers the whole chain: understanding the mechanisms of deformation and fracture, modeling them, and designing forming processes. By combining experiments and measurement, material modeling, numerical analysis, and equipment development, the lab aims to create new forming technologies. Master's and doctoral students are welcome, and lab visits are accepted.
Kensuke Tsuchiya, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
Tsuchiya Lab studies machining and production technologies to solve a wide range of problems in manufacturing. The lab investigates the mechanisms of phenomena that occur when materials are cut or polished, aiming to make machining more efficient. Building on techniques for handling tiny objects under a microscope, the lab also studies microscale phenomena. The lab also works on making production systems smarter, including analyzing and automating skilled work.
Hidehiro Oana, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
Oana Lab uses microfabrication technology to develop techniques for manipulating and measuring individual cells and molecules. The lab explores methods for applying stimuli to individual cells and biomolecules and measuring their responses, as well as for controlling their functions. This is expected to yield insights that conventional research methods could not provide, and to contribute to applications in medicine and manufacturing as well as to basic life science.
Kanako Harada, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare1 student voices
The Harada Lab uses robotics technology to research medical robots that assist with surgery and experiments. The lab develops robots to support pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, and more, in collaboration with hospital clinical departments. The core of the research is advanced assistance systems in which a robot performs part or all of a task automatically. Applying surgical assistance technology, the lab also builds robots that support delicate physical and chemical experiments under a microscope.
Kimihiko Nakano, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
Nakano Lab studies human-centered mobility (movement by vehicles), drawing on knowledge of dynamics, measurement, and control. Focusing on cars and railways, the lab studies condition monitoring, ergonomics, HMIs that connect people and machines, autonomous driving, and cooperative systems. The lab also addresses non-technical issues known as ELSI, aiming to make these technologies usable in society. The lab also conducts experiments using a driving simulator.
Yuhei Miyauchi, Professor
Energy & Batteries1 student voices
The Miyauchi Lab conducts nanotechnology research aimed at new technologies that use solar and thermal energy efficiently. The lab investigates the properties and functions of nanoscale materials, such as carbon nanotubes, in which quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and their applications to energy. Its research spans from the fundamentals of condensed matter physics and materials synthesis, through thermal, mechanical, electronic, and optical engineering, to materials development. Prof. Miyauchi holds a concurrent appointment at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University, and the lab operates at two sites: Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo.
Anna Sciazko, Lecturer
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Sciazko Lab studies the production and use of synthetic fuels, especially the electrochemical reactions that take place in electrolysis and fuel cells. The electrodes and catalytic reactors in these devices are made of porous structures, and their fine microstructure greatly affects performance. To understand how microstructure relates to performance and degradation mechanisms, the lab develops methods for evaluation and prediction using machine learning. The lab aims to advance the development of energy conversion technologies to a higher level and at a faster pace.
Takayuki Yamada, Associate Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The Mathematical Design Engineering Lab uses mathematics and information science to study design engineering built on the foundation of mechanics. It is no exaggeration to say that an object's performance is determined by its shape: simply refining the shape can increase strength or give rise to new functions. The lab aims to realize and advance "optimal shape design," in which computers automatically search for the optimal shape for each object. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and the lab also welcomes applicants to graduate school from other departments and other universities.
Eita Tochigi, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Tochigi Lab focuses on experiments using transmission electron microscopy to study defect structures, atomic structures, and mechanical properties of crystalline materials. The lab builds devices that can apply force to a material inside a microscope, and investigates how materials deform while observing them at the atomic level. The lab uses shared facilities across the university to carry out electron microscopy experiments and fabricate MEMS devices. The lab is recruiting graduate students. Those who wish to join take the entrance examination for the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.
Yuji Yamakawa, Associate Professor
Robotics & Control0 student voices
The Yamakawa Lab studies high-speed intelligent systems that combine sensors, centered on high-speed vision, with robots to interact quickly with the real world. Sensors such as cameras are connected through a network to recognize the surrounding world at high speed and without gaps. The lab aims to reflect that information in robot motion in real time, enabling dynamic interaction with the real world. Its research covers a wide range of areas, including manipulation of soft objects, human-robot collaboration, applications to automobiles and inspection, and mobile robots.
