Hayato Yoshioka, Professor
Robotics & Control0 student voices
Yoshioka Lab studies manufacturing process technologies that give form to objects and send them out into society. The lab aims to realize manufacturing process technology that achieves high precision, flexibility, and reliability at the same time. The lab works on precisely moving mechanisms and their control, production systems that combine machine tools and robots, and process management based on machining-state monitoring and quality inspection. Through research, the lab aims to help students acquire skills essential to engineers, such as design, machining, assembly, control, and measurement.
Ko Ayusawa, Associate Professor (Specially Appointed Visiting)
Robotics & Control0 student voices
The Ayusawa Lab studies the computational theory of motion, which is a foundation of robotics. As applications, the lab develops technologies for simulating human motion using humanoid robots and digital humans. Using these technologies, the lab works on robot technology that understands human movement, interacts with people, and expands human abilities. Associate Professor Ayusawa is a designated visiting faculty member affiliated with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
Kunihiko Sadakane, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
The Sadakane-Ito Lab studies mathematical engineering broadly, with an emphasis on mathematical structure. The lab works on combinatorial optimization, algorithm theory, and applications of discrete mathematics to engineering. Prof. Sadakane researches algorithms and data structures for processing massive amounts of data. Associate Professor Ito researches machine learning and mathematical optimization methodologies for decision-making under uncertainty.
Tetsuya J Kobayashi, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The lab studies how living systems receive, process, and use information. Using mathematical frameworks such as information theory, learning theory, and information thermodynamics, it explores properties unique to living systems. A distinguishing feature is its combination of various types of quantitative data with theoretical and computational methods. The lab also aims to apply the theories it develops to the design of new computational algorithms and engineering systems.
Koki Muraoka, Associate Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Muraoka Lab studies the synthesis of materials using computation and data science. Obtaining high-performance materials requires painstaking trial-and-error synthesis experiments to control the positions of atoms. The lab streamlines this trial and error with materials informatics methods, and creates materials with unusual atomic positions and compositions. It focuses in particular on zeolites, which are porous crystalline materials.
Yasuki Kansha, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Kansha Lab studies process design for building a sustainable energy society. From the perspectives of both energy and the environment, the lab develops new processes and systems for industry and local communities. Its work ranges from designing processes that recycle energy, to control for process operation, to data-driven optimization.
Kosuke Suzuki, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis0 student voices
The Suzuki-Yamashita Lab studies the design and functions of "molecular inorganic materials," such as polyoxometalates and metal clusters. The properties of the materials around us are determined by how atoms and molecules are arranged and by the interactions between them. By controlling the combinations and arrangements of elements at the atomic level, the lab is pioneering "molecular ionics," which controls the movement and reactions of electrons, ions, and molecules at the molecular scale. Spanning many fields, including inorganic chemistry, catalytic chemistry, and electrochemistry, the lab aims to develop materials science that contributes to solving resource and energy problems.
Yusuke Sunada, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis0 student voices
The Sunada Lab studies the synthesis of metal clusters, which are assemblies of metal atoms, and of metal complexes. Nano-sized metal compounds show special properties that depend on their size, and are attracting attention as next-generation functional compounds. Using a template synthesis method that the lab developed itself, the lab builds clusters with a precisely controlled number, arrangement, and size of metal atoms, and explores their functions, including catalysis. The lab also aims to develop processes that use metals such as iron as catalysts, without relying on precious metals, to help solve problems of resources, the environment, and energy.
Makoto Fujita, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis0 student voices
The Fujita Lab studies “self-assembly,” in which molecules come together on their own to form structures. In living organisms, complex molecular assemblies form spontaneously through weak bonding forces, as in the DNA double helix. Learning from this mechanism, the lab uses bonds between metals and organic molecules (coordination bonds) to assemble large molecules such as cages and tubes. In the spaces inside the resulting molecules, the lab stabilizes molecules that are normally unstable and carries out special reactions.
Tetsu Tatsuma, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Tatsuma Lab studies materials and devices that convert energy, information, and substances, using electrochemistry and plasmon resonance. When metals such as gold are made into very small nanoparticles, they absorb light and take on vivid colors. The lab uses these nanoparticles to capture light and either convert its energy into electricity or use it to drive chemical reactions. The lab aims to use light to create new functions that have never existed before.
