Masashi Kawasaki, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kawasaki Lab studies how to precisely fabricate metal oxide thin films at the atomic level to create new properties and functions. Metal oxides possess a variety of giant physical properties, and the lab proposes "oxide electronics" to put them to use. Using a laser to instantly vaporize oxides, the lab stacks atoms layer by layer on a substrate to build a variety of artificial nanostructures. The lab works on quantum properties and their functionalization in systems such as zinc oxide thin films, topological materials, and magnetic skyrmions.
Tsuyoshi Kimura, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kimura Lab studies new properties that arise when different orders in a material become intertwined, such as magnetism and dielectricity. The lab combines ferroic orders, which are classified by how symmetry is broken, and has named the phenomenon in which one order is converted into another "multiferroic conversion." Targeting a wide range of materials, including magnetic materials, metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics, the lab works on everything from material design and synthesis to the development of measurement techniques and experimental demonstration. A group in the lab was the first to demonstrate that applying an electric field to a ferroaxial material produces optical phenomena characteristic of chiral materials.
Max Hirschberger, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Hirschberger Lab experimentally studies quantum mechanical phenomena that emerge in solids. The lab grows its own crystals of materials in which quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and investigates in particular how electricity and heat flow through them (transport properties). The lab uses neutron and X-ray scattering experiments at facilities in Japan and abroad, measurements under strong magnetic fields and at extremely low temperatures, and device fabrication with focused ion beams.
Takahisa Arima, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Arima-Tokunaga Lab develops solid-state materials that show large responses to magnetic and electric fields, and studies their properties experimentally. The lab explores materials in which electron spins form unusual arrangements or electrons are distributed in unusual ways, looking for interesting phenomena. Research proceeds by synthesizing target materials, examining the arrangement of electrons using synchrotron radiation and neutrons, and measuring whether the predicted phenomena actually occur.
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.
Takashi Kohno, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Mathematical Bioinformatics Lab conducts research that elucidates complex life phenomena using mathematical tools such as nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, and information theory. Its subjects span multiple levels, from cells to the brain and on to human society. Each faculty member covers a broad range of topics in the life sciences, medicine, and human and social sciences where mathematics plays a role. The lab aims to apply the knowledge it gains to medicine and engineering.
Takashi Kondo, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
The Kondo Lab studies semiconductor materials that are expected to be applied to devices that use light (photonics). By growing single crystals from solution and making thin films in a vacuum, the lab carries out everything from crystal growth to device fabrication and evaluation. At the center of its work are metal halide perovskite semiconductors, which are promising materials for thin-film solar cells. The lab investigates the growth of these crystals and thin films, their optical properties, nonlinear optics, and terahertz optics.
Tsuyohito Ito, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
Ito Lab works to pioneer new fields in plasma materials science, which uses plasma for making materials. The lab uses environments where plasma coexists with liquids or fluids, such as generating plasma in supercritical fluids or solutions to synthesize nanomaterials. It also works on advanced measurement techniques to understand reaction environments, such as using lasers to measure the electric field in plasma. The lab is also taking on the challenge of creating new guidelines for analyzing and designing reaction environments that are far from equilibrium.
