Jun Yanagimoto, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Yanagimoto Lab studies metal forming, in which force is applied to metals and other materials to deform them and form shapes. The lab works on "advanced functional forming," which creates a shape while also controlling the internal microstructure of the material to produce its properties. Its basic research includes theoretical analysis of deformation processing, development of new processing systems, and control of material microstructure. The lab also has programs for accepting undergraduate thesis students and master's students from other universities, as well as researchers from companies.
Marie Oshima, Professor
Fluids & Heat0 student voices
The Oshima Lab studies how blood moves through blood vessels (blood flow). Using medical images taken at hospitals, the lab builds 3D models of blood vessel shapes and simulates each patient's blood flow on computers. The lab also carries out measurement experiments that make flow visible, using blood vessel models and microscopes. The lab also conducts research on STEAM education, a way of learning that combines subjects such as science and mathematics.
Nobuhiro Yoshikawa, Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
Yoshikawa Lab studies methods for evaluating the strength of composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), as well as methods for optimal design. The finite element method has been of great help in examining the strength of machines and structures made of metal. However, for materials like CFRP whose properties vary from place to place, no established method existed for building strength models from experiments. The lab is therefore working on a method that models carbon fiber bundles and resin separately in fine detail and examines strength by computer.
Fumitoshi Sato, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
Sato Lab studies computational biomolecular science, using computers to calculate large molecules such as proteins. The lab develops ProteinDF, a program based on density functional theory that calculates all the electrons in a protein. The lab is carrying out research and development on an integrated simulation system that uses this program. It aims at applications in industry and society, such as the design of materials and drugs with new functions.
Shikazono Naoki, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Shikazono Lab studies solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and next-generation heat pumps and steam engines. Both are expected to be technologies that use energy effectively, with small exergy losses. Using both experiments and numerical simulation, the lab works to improve performance and reliability, from the fine structure of electrodes to entire devices. Students are assigned to the lab from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.
Ryo Shirakashi, Professor
Fluids & Heat0 student voices
Shirakashi Lab studies the behavior of water and heat inside living organisms and materials, based on molecular thermodynamics and heat transfer engineering. The lab develops methods for preserving cells, clinical specimens, and proteins for long periods while maintaining their quality. The lab also works on techniques that use dielectric spectroscopy and short-wave infrared spectroscopy to measure "bound water" in a variety of substances. The lab also studies heat-control devices, such as micro evaporators, for cooling electronic devices with small apparatus.
Yoshitaka Umeno, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
Umeno Lab studies the strength and fracture of materials by examining the motion of individual atoms. Using first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics, and AI, the lab carries out multiscale analysis that connects the properties of materials at the nanoscale with those at visible, macroscopic sizes. The lab aims to design strong, high-performance materials that will support the society of the future, in fields such as energy, space, and electronic devices. Although simulation is the core of the lab's work, no prior knowledge of programming or similar skills is required.
Hayato Yoshioka, Professor
Robotics & Control0 student voices
Yoshioka Lab studies manufacturing process technologies that give form to objects and send them out into society. The lab aims to realize manufacturing process technology that achieves high precision, flexibility, and reliability at the same time. The lab works on precisely moving mechanisms and their control, production systems that combine machine tools and robots, and process management based on machining-state monitoring and quality inspection. Through research, the lab aims to help students acquire skills essential to engineers, such as design, machining, assembly, control, and measurement.
Ko Ayusawa, Associate Professor (Specially Appointed Visiting)
Robotics & Control0 student voices
The Ayusawa Lab studies the computational theory of motion, which is a foundation of robotics. As applications, the lab develops technologies for simulating human motion using humanoid robots and digital humans. Using these technologies, the lab works on robot technology that understands human movement, interacts with people, and expands human abilities. Associate Professor Ayusawa is a designated visiting faculty member affiliated with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
