Takuo Tanemura, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices2 student voices
Tanemura Lab studies integrated photonics and nanophotonics, which bring optical components together on semiconductor chips only a few millimeters square. The lab builds structures smaller than the wavelength of light, along with large numbers of optical elements, at high density on a small chip. Taking advantage of features unique to light, such as very wide bandwidth and high parallelism, the lab creates optoelectronic devices that leave complex control and digital computation to electronic circuits. The lab aims at applications in a wide range of fields, including next-generation optical communications, sensing, and computing.

Makoto Takamiya, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices2 student voices
The Takamiya Lab researches power delivery technologies built around LSI design. Electronics is finding uses in more places, from IoT and wearables to devices implanted in the body, moving from objects to the surface of the body and then inside it. The key to making this possible is the technology for how to deliver power. The lab handles a wide range of power levels, from nW in IoT to kW in power electronics, and explores new solutions by combining insights from different fields.

Tomoyuki Yokota, Associate Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Yokota Lab conducts basic and applied research on flexible and stretchable devices, including organic electronics. Organic electronics can be easily fabricated on film substrates using printing techniques such as inkjet and screen printing. For this reason, they are attracting attention as next-generation electronics that are thin, lightweight, and bendable. In particular, the lab is developing soft sensors that can detect physical quantities such as light, temperature, and pressure.

Yoshio Mita, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Mita Lab studies advanced integrated microsystems inspired by the functions of nature. From an electronic engineering perspective, the lab builds next-generation micro- and nano-devices that merge electrical and mechanical functions, along with systems that use them. Making full use of the equipment in the Super Clean Room of the Takeda Sentanchi Building, the lab carries out deep microfabrication. Its research themes include integration technology that combines MEMS and LSI on a single chip, mechanical memory, and light-receiving devices.

Hiroshi Fujimoto, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Fujimoto-Shimizu-Gunji-Takano-Nguyen Lab studies control theory and its applications. The lab develops new control theories and applies them to real devices. Its subjects are wide-ranging: motion control of electric vehicles, wireless power transfer, power electronics, robots, precision positioning devices, and electric airplanes. Even when members belong to different professors, they all live exactly the same daily life in the lab.

Jumpei Baba, Professor
Energy & Batteries1 student voices
The Baba Lab researches how to apply new technologies such as power electronics, energy storage, and ICT to the electric power field. Its goal is to build the electric energy systems of the future. The lab studies both software and hardware, for example by running experiments that control equipment installed on remote islands through remote two-way communication.

Hitoshi Tabata, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Tabata-Matsui-Seki Lab studies new electronics inspired by the "fluctuations" characteristic of living organisms. Using laser MBE, a method that can control crystal structure at the atomic level, the lab creates new electronic materials and investigates the mechanisms by which their properties emerge. Building on this materials work, the lab is developing energy-efficient devices that mimic how the brain works, as well as ultra-sensitive sensors that measure odors emitted by the body. By combining oxide and bio technologies, the lab aims to create devices that contribute to disease diagnosis and health monitoring.

Masaaki Tanaka, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Tanaka-Ohya-Nakane-Le Lab focuses its research on spintronics. By stacking semiconductors, metals, oxides, ferromagnets, superconductors, topological materials, and more at the atomic level, the lab creates materials that do not exist in nature. The lab investigates the physical properties of the resulting materials and builds prototype devices, aiming to provide guidance for the future of electronics. The lab is pioneering a new field that uses not only the charge of electrons but also their spin, which is comparable to rotation about an axis.

Takao Someya, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Someya-Jimbo Lab studies electronics made from soft organic materials and their applications in biology and medicine. Organic devices can be easily fabricated on plastic, so they are expected to become a new kind of device that is thin, lightweight, and does not break when bent. Taking advantage of the softness of organic devices, the lab aims to develop new devices that blend electronics with the living body. Lab meetings are held in English, and the lab carries out research with researchers from a wide range of fields, from electronic engineering and materials to biology and medicine.

Masaki Sekino, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare1 student voices
The Sekino Lab researches next-generation medical devices that make use of electromagnetic fields. Magnetic fields reach deep into the body without weakening and involve no radiation exposure like X-rays, making it possible to image the inside of the body clearly. Treatments that use pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate nerves in the brain and relieve conditions such as chronic pain are also becoming established. The lab studies technologies for detecting disease early and treating it in ways that are gentle on the body, incorporating AI as well.
