Hideaki Ishii, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Systems and Control Lab studies the theory of systems and control and its applications. It focuses in particular on the relationship between control and the theory of information and communication. The lab works on networked control systems and cyber-physical systems, in which agents spread over a wide area use communication to achieve complex control objectives. It tackles questions such as how to achieve high-performance control with a limited amount of communication, and how to ensure the security of control systems.
Hiroshi Saruwatari, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Saruwatari-Saito Lab studies signal processing and information processing for sound media such as speech, acoustics, and music. Focusing on the constraints imposed by where sounds are produced and the environments they travel through, as well as on the statistical properties of sound, the lab develops new statistical models and machine learning theory. Through this work, the lab aims to expand human abilities in processing sound information and to make engineering contributions to the creation of new art.
Taro Toyoizumi, Affiliated Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Brain Mathematics and Information Collaboration Lab studies how the brain processes information by analyzing mathematical models in the field of computational neuroscience. The lab investigates the mechanisms by which neural circuits adapt to their environment and learn. It combines analytical techniques developed in statistical mechanics and information theory with computer simulation. The lab aims to understand the basic principles that neural networks need in order to function well.
Akiko Takeda, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Mathematical Planning and Informatics Lab studies a field called operations research (OR). OR is a scientific technique for solving real-world problems and supporting decision-making by building mathematical models and using computers to find solutions. In particular, the lab focuses on building models of problems as mathematical optimization problems and on developing algorithms to solve them. The lab works on solving such pain points in fields including structural design, energy systems, and machine learning.
Fumiyasu Komaki, Professor
Data Science & Statistics1 student voices
The Statistical Informatics Lab studies methods of statistical modeling from both theoretical and applied perspectives. Its theoretical pillars are statistical inference theory, Bayesian theory, statistical model selection, and information geometry. In collaboration with neuroscience researchers, the lab builds statistical models suited to analyzing neural spike data and EEG. It also pursues research on data assimilation, which integrates observational data and simulations of earthquakes and tsunamis.
Takayasu Matsuo, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Numerical Informatics Lab studies numerical methods for solving differential equations on computers. Problems in physics, chemistry, biology, finance, and other fields are often expressed as differential equations, and the challenge is how to discretize them and compute solutions. Since the 1990s, the lab has been developing "structure-preserving numerical methods," which retain even the physical and mathematical structure behind an equation. The lab also studies methods for approximating functions accurately, as tools that underpin numerical integration and the approximation of equations.
Tsuyoshi Takagi, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Cryptography and Mathematical Informatics Lab studies cryptographic theory and information security, which keep the information society secure. The security of public-key cryptography and digital signatures rests on the hardness of mathematical problems such as integer factorization and the shortest vector problem for lattices. The lab examines how secure those mathematical problems really are and considers how they affect cryptographic protocols and information security. The lab also works on security evaluation and efficient implementation of post-quantum cryptography, which is designed to resist attacks even by quantum computers.
Yuji Sekiya, Professor
Communications & Networks0 student voices
The Communication System Architecture Lab studies Internet communication technologies and the cybersecurity that protects them. The lab also works on cloud infrastructure technologies, network virtualization, and the design of the mobile core, the central part of mobile phone networks. Research proceeds from both theory and practice. The lab belongs to the Information Security Education and Research Division (SI Center) of the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, and has bases at the Hongo Campus and the Kashiwa II Campus.
Takaaki Nara, Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
The Physical Information Measurement and Inverse Problems Lab studies "inverse problems," in which a phenomenon is observed and its cause is estimated. Inverse problems arise in many fields of engineering, including noninvasive measurement of the brain and human body, nondestructive testing of power plants and structures, and searching for people buried under rubble. The lab starts from how to formulate the problem, that is, what to measure and how, and develops mathematical methods that obtain solutions directly, without relying on iterative computation. The lab also works on controlling and designing the arrangements formed by groups of cells.
Kawashima Kenji, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare0 student voices
The Systems Biomedical Engineering Lab conducts research that integrates biomedical engineering and information science. Building on control engineering, robotics, biological measurement, and fluid engineering, the lab comprehensively analyzes the sophisticated measurement and control mechanisms of living organisms. Using these methods, the lab aims to create new medical systems and human-machine systems. The lab works on motion assistance systems that use pneumatic rubber artificial muscles, and on the control of AI-based surgical assistance robots.
