Takashi Fuse, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The Region/Information Lab advances geoinformatics and conducts research that is applied to policy and planning for national land, regions, and cities. Spatial information, such as maps, aerial photographs, satellite images, and statistical data, is information used to grasp the state of national land and cities and to share that understanding with many people. The lab works on integrating diverse data, integrating data with simulation, and estimating and visualizing the mechanisms that generate data. The lab's name reflects its wish to regenerate national land, regions, and cities into truly attractive spaces.
Riki Honda, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The Honda Lab studies how society responds to and recovers from risks such as natural disasters. Because the impacts of disasters can never be fully prevented, expectations are growing for the response capacity and resilience of society and communities. Drawing on ideas such as social networks and adaptive systems theory, the lab investigates the mechanisms by which communities respond to situations of great uncertainty. The lab also works on developing methods that can rationally evaluate infrastructure development and disaster prevention plans, even under deep uncertainty.
Wataru Takeuchi, Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
Takeuchi Lab studies remote sensing, the observation of the Earth from satellites and other platforms, with a focus on putting it to practical use in society. The lab develops methods to extract useful information from satellite data for applications including atmospheric environments, ecosystems, agriculture, urban environments, infrastructure, and natural disasters. The lab operates systems for receiving, processing, and archiving satellite data, and serves as a leading remote sensing hub in Asia. With many international students, the lab sends students to international conferences every year, and they also have opportunities to join field surveys in countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.
Kimiro Meguro, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The Meguro-Ohara-Numada Lab studies strategies to minimize the damage and the disruption to social functions caused by disasters such as earthquakes. The lab places importance on a balanced combination of hard measures, such as strengthening buildings, and soft measures, such as information, institutions, and training. Together with residents and government officials, the lab studies and demonstrates disaster prevention systems that link everything from analyzing the phenomena that cause disasters and estimating damage to disaster response. Faculty specializing in urban earthquake disaster mitigation engineering, disaster risk reduction, and disaster prevention process engineering supervise students.
Daisuke Fukuda, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The Next-Generation Infrastructure Systems Lab studies human behavior related to infrastructure, as well as the effects that infrastructure development has on society and the economy. The lab represents people's spatiotemporal behavior with mathematical models and quantitatively evaluates the effects of policies using econometrics and cost-benefit analysis. Its work includes predicting people's behavior in a smart society, designing policies that support the development of urban and regional economies, and extending those ideas to other countries. Weekly student-led lab seminars are at the center of its activities, along with joint lab seminars with international project groups and joint lab seminar retreats with other universities.
Hironori Kato, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The International Project Lab studies infrastructure development, disaster risk reduction, transportation planning, and related issues in international settings. In addition to engineering, the lab draws on knowledge from every field, including sociology, political science, and economics, to address a variety of problems in Japan and overseas. Students belong to a team led by their supervisor, and also take part in lab-wide meetings, research presentations, and training camps. Besides overseas field surveys, many students join internships or study abroad overseas, using programs such as the department's internship program with the Asian Development Bank.
Yuya Sakai, Associate Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
Sakai Lab studies construction materials, with a focus on concrete. The lab develops low-carbon, next-generation materials, including recycled concrete, plant-based concrete, and materials made from discarded food. It also works on inspection and evaluation methods to make concrete structures last longer and to maintain and manage them rationally. Students entering from other universities are also welcome.
Toshiharu Kishi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Kishi Lab studies the properties and performance evaluation of cement-based materials, as well as the development and practical application of new materials. The lab also works on quality inspection and maintenance of concrete structures, and in recent years has focused on putting crack self-healing technology to practical use. Research is conducted at the Komaba Research Campus, and at the Chiba Experiment Station in Kashiwa, the lab also carries out outdoor exposure tests on its large site. The lab holds regular meetings and a summer retreat jointly with the Sakai (Yu) Lab.
Ishida Tetsuya, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban0 student voices
The Concrete Lab studies the engineering of building social infrastructure through concrete as a material. Concrete and reinforced concrete are the main materials that shape cities and infrastructure around the world today. The lab brings together knowledge of materials, structures, and the environment, and works on multiscale analysis to predict the service life and safety of structures. In addition to experiments and field surveys, the lab holds activities such as site visits to dams.
Tsukasa Mizutani, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
Using sensing technology, signal processing, and machine learning, the Mizutani Lab studies systems that detect and diagnose infrastructure in real time. The targets are road surfaces and underground areas, bridges, tunnels, and railways across the country. From data measured with ground-penetrating radar, mobile mapping laser scanners, and high-resolution cameras, the lab produces information on both the surface and the interior of infrastructure. At the Komaba Research Campus Open House, the lab also holds a hands-on event using radar.
