Futoshi Kurisu, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Water Environment Control Lab addresses the question of how to control the urban water environment. The lab places importance on taking an integrated view of water use, the water environment, and stormwater management in relation to artificial water flows such as water supply and sewerage systems. Through environmental analysis and microbial analysis, the lab aims to understand water treatment technologies and improve them. The lab is run by two faculty members, Professor Kurisu and Associate Professor Kasuga, and its students mainly belong to the Urban Environmental Engineering course in the Department of Urban Engineering.
Minakuchi Shu, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Minakuchi Lab studies advanced composite materials, represented by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Building on mechanics of materials and centered on making materials intelligent, the lab aims to develop new material system technologies for creating next-generation aerospace structures. The lab works on optical fiber sensors embedded in materials, measurement and simulation of deformation during manufacturing, and the design of new fiber architectures that also draw on lessons from living organisms. Research is carried out in collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad.
Mitsuhiro Tsue, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Tsue-Nakaya Lab studies combustion phenomena in propulsion systems used in the aerospace field. Its scope ranges from internal combustion engines and environmentally compatible technologies to the use of the space environment and environmental science. The lab tackles heat and flow phenomena involving combustion and chemical reactions through both experiments and numerical analysis.
Himeno Takehiro, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace2 student voices
The Himeno Lab studies flow and heat phenomena that occur inside jet engines and rocket engines. Its subjects include jet engines in use today, future supersonic and hypersonic engines, gas turbines, and liquid rocket engines. Using a wide range of experiments, numerical analysis, and theoretical analysis, the lab investigates how flows become unstable and how flow relates to engine performance. The lab aims to apply the fundamental knowledge gained in this way to engine design.
Timothée Mouterde, Associate Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Mouterde Lab experimentally studies physical phenomena that occur at the interface between solids and liquids. The lab investigates how the behavior of liquids can be controlled by changing the properties of the interface. By combining fine surface structures with chemical properties, the lab works on controlling water droplets, which leads to waterproofing, anti-fogging, and anti-frost technologies. The lab also studies the new properties shown by liquids and ions confined in channels as narrow as a molecule.
Yosuke Hasegawa, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab combines knowledge of fluid mechanics and optimal control to study how to control and predict heat and flow phenomena. Normally, you decide a shape first and then calculate its performance, but the lab uses "inverse analysis," which works backward from the desired performance to find the optimal shape. This finds the optimal shape far more efficiently than comparing many prototypes. The lab also studies how to estimate flow conditions and the sources of pollutants from measurements taken by environmental sensors.
Gentiane Venture, Professor
Robotics & Control2 student voices
GV Lab (Venture Lab) researches robotics for a sustainable and inclusive society. The lab analyzes human movement based on the forces received from the ground, and works to uncover the mechanisms behind movement, balance, and expressiveness. It also develops control mechanisms that allow robots to behave flexibly according to their surroundings and their distance from people. The lab values interdisciplinary research that draws on insights from the social sciences and philosophy to consider the impact of robots on society.
Yamasaki Yudai, Professor
Energy & Batteries2 student voices
The Yamasaki-Nagai Lab studies combustion, control, and optimization in automotive powertrains and distributed energy systems. The lab also works on control that suppresses the vibration of electric vehicles to improve ride comfort, as well as control of drones and flying cars. By applying AI techniques to complex phenomena and systems, the lab aims to build systems that also take each driver's individual characteristics into account. The lab is also active in joint research with automakers, industry associations, and gas companies.
Shinichi Warisawa, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare2 student voices
The Human Environment Informatics Lab researches advanced technologies that support people's health, safety, and peace of mind. The lab develops small sensors that can be built into wearable devices, as well as robot systems that watch over people and their surroundings. It also works on technologies for measuring information from the body, monitoring people's behavior and condition, and extending human senses. The lab aims to build systems that blend unobtrusively into daily life and work settings, collecting and analyzing data about people and their environments.
Shu Takagi, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Fluid Engineering Lab studies fluids such as air and water, as well as multiphase flows, in which these fluids are mixed together. From environment and energy to bio and medical fields, the lab approaches a wide range of mechanics problems from the perspective of fluid mechanics. Using theory, experiments, numerical simulation, and machine learning, the lab explores how to utilize and control flows and how to prevent their harmful effects. To collect data on large, complex systems, the lab also develops new measurement and prediction techniques.
