Qi An, Associate Professor
Robotics & Control0 student voices
The lab researches technology that supports people with movement disorders, as well as systems for teaching movement. To apply the results to movement support and rehabilitation, the lab works on everything from basic research that clarifies how people carry out movement to the development of assistive technology. In collaboration with hospitals and research institutes, the lab studies the analysis of sit-to-stand movement and diagnostic systems for Parkinson's disease. The lab is run together with Prof. Yamashita of the same Department of Human and Engineered Environmental Studies.

Jun Younes Louhi Kasahara, Project Associate Professor
Robotics & Control0 student voices
The Louhi Kasahara Lab researches how to use robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate work that until now only people could do. Always keeping real-world sites in mind, the lab works on signal processing, machine learning, sensor fusion, and more. The lab is advancing research on automating hammering test inspection and on unmanned construction.

Kiyoshi Kotani, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Kotani-Shimba Lab studies life phenomena, from the cellular level to the whole organism. The body works through a hierarchy, from molecules and cells to organs and the whole organism. Using nanotechnology and measurement methods that combine multiple approaches, the lab collects information at each level of this hierarchy, integrates the data, and carries out mathematical analysis and modeling. The lab's work spans a wide range, from basic understanding of life phenomena to developing technologies that support daily life.

Yusuke Kishita, Associate Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
Kishita Lab studies design methods for sustainable manufacturing and for systems that serve society. Drawing on life cycle engineering and design engineering, the lab aims to solve real-world problems. Its work includes scenarios that depict several possible futures, the design of businesses that circulate resources, and the creation of roadmaps. Research is carried out jointly with Umeda Lab.

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.

Kanta Matsuura, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
Matsuura Lab studies information security. Its goal is to contribute, from a scientific standpoint, to building the mechanisms of a society where everyone can exchange information comfortably. The lab is a group of experts who study anything related to information security, from cryptography and networks to economics.

Takeshi Naemura, Professor
0 student voices
Naemura Lab studies information media that bring richness to people's minds. Working mainly in the fields of human interface and virtual reality, the lab builds on optical design, circuit implementation, machine learning, and dialogue design that encourages people to act. Beyond developing theories and implementing systems, the lab evaluates the new experiences these systems create for people through psychological experiments, and connects them to artistic expression. In addition to publishing papers, the lab also puts effort into demo exhibitions in Japan and abroad, including exhibitions for the general public.
