Takafumi Koseki, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Koseki-Ohnishi Lab studies the application of electrical engineering and electronics and information science to social systems such as transportation, including railway vehicles, magnetic levitation, and linear motors. The lab also conducts theoretical research on control engineering and works on applying it in industry. Learning control, system identification, mathematical optimization, and mechatronics form the core of its research. The lab also covers wireless power transfer to electric vehicles and energy-saving railway operation.
Akiko Kumada, Professor
Imaging & Sensing1 student voices
The Kumada-Sato-Fujii-Umemoto Lab studies high-voltage and discharge plasma phenomena. The lab develops methods to measure these phenomena, clarifies their mechanisms, controls them from an engineering standpoint, and explores new uses for them. It works on insulation technology for the high-voltage, high-current equipment that supports power systems, and on extending that work to smart power equipment. The lab is jointly run by Professor Kumada, Associate Professor Sato, Project Professor Fujii, and Project Associate Professor Umemoto. Because Engineering Building No. 13 is being renovated, the lab has temporarily moved to the Ship Motion Performance Testing Tank (as of September 2026).
Takashi Kohno, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Neuromimetic Systems Lab studies "silicon neuronal networks," which are networks of neurons built from electronic circuits. The lab aims to make these networks a foundational technology for "brain-compatible" computing systems that process information on the same principles as the brain. The lab takes a cross-disciplinary approach, combining analog and digital electronic circuit design with mathematical models of neurons and neural networks. Using nonlinear mathematics in its designs, the lab develops ultra-low-power circuits and works to elucidate the principles of information processing in the brain.
Anh Le Duc, Associate Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
Anh Lab studies how to give semiconductors new properties: ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and topology. Using crystal growth techniques with atomic-level control, the lab builds nanoscale structures that stack semiconductors, ferromagnets, and superconductors. Based on these structures, the lab is developing ultra-low-power electronics and technologies that serve as a foundation for quantum information. The lab spans many fields, including solid-state physics, magnetism, superconductivity, quantum information, and semiconductor devices.
Hiroaki Matsui, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
The Matsui Lab studies nanoscale optical technologies such as surface plasmons and surface phonons. Using these technologies, the lab aims to develop sensors that optically measure biomolecular reactions and exhaled breath gases, as well as techniques that make strain visible through light. The lab aims at a wide range of applications, from biotechnology to thermal energy, including materials that protect the body from heat and electromagnetic waves and heat control for window glass. The lab also pursues joint research with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), other universities, and companies.
Takuya Maeda, Lecturer
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
Maeda Lab researches electronic devices made with wide-bandgap semiconductors, typified by GaN (gallium nitride). Wide-bandgap semiconductors are beginning to be used in power devices that convert electric power and in high-frequency transistors for mobile base stations. The lab clarifies phenomena that occur at high electric fields and high temperatures unimaginable with conventional silicon, and aims to apply them to improving device performance and realizing new functions. The lab designs devices, fabricates them itself in the on-campus cleanroom, and carries out measurement and analysis as well.
Shinji Yamashita, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
The Yamashita-Set Lab develops optical devices for photonic networks (optical communication networks). The lab also develops devices using optical fibers and optical waveguides for other applications. Its research includes optical devices using nanocarbon materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, LiDAR, which measures distance using light, and OCT (optical coherence tomography), an imaging technique based on optical interference.
Mitsuru Takenaka, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
The Takenaka Lab studies silicon photonics, a technology for building optical circuits on a silicon substrate. It uses the same manufacturing processes as computer chips to integrate many optical components into a single chip. Its uses are expanding beyond optical communication in data centers to computation for AI and quantum information processing, LiDAR, biosensors, and more. The lab researches new devices, circuits, and the systems that use them, with the aim of building optoelectronic integrated circuits.
Toprasertpong Kasidit, Associate Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
The Toprasertpong Lab studies next-generation semiconductor devices that will support the AI and IoT era. As semiconductor scaling approaches its limits, methods are needed to improve computing performance without relying on scaling. Based on silicon CMOS technology, the lab builds transistors that integrate oxide semiconductor and ferroelectric materials on top of silicon.
Masakazu Sugiyama, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Sugiyama Lab researches technologies that obtain electricity from sunlight with high efficiency and produce fuels such as hydrogen. If solar energy can be stored in chemical substances in regions with strong sunlight and transported to where it is used, sunlight will become a central energy source for society. The lab's goal is to develop highly efficient solar cells and electrochemical reaction devices for this purpose and to integrate them into a system. At the core of the technology are semiconductor nanocrystals, and the lab carries out everything from crystal growth to the evaluation of solar cell systems in an integrated way.
