Yoshihiro Kanno, Professor
Data Science & Statistics2 student voices
The Mathematical Data Science Lab studies the theory of mathematical optimization and mathematical statistics, as well as their applications. In optimization, the lab applies theories such as convex optimization and duality to problems including structural design and contact mechanics. In statistics, the lab works on computational algebraic statistics and on statistical modeling of rare events and time series data. The lab also conducts empirical research that uses stochastic processes to analyze high-frequency stock market data and measure risk.
Hiroshi Kori, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences2 student voices
The Nonlinear Physics Lab studies complex dynamical systems found in nature, living organisms, and artificial systems. It describes the mechanisms that give rise to these phenomena with mathematical models that are as simple as possible, and uses them for understanding, prediction, control, and optimization. The lab's research is based on the theory of dynamical systems (differential equations) and stochastic processes, as well as numerical simulation. It collaborates with experimental researchers in engineering, biology, medicine, and chemistry, and aims to solve problems that society needs solved.
Satoru Iwata, Professor
Software & Computing2 student voices
The Computational Informatics Lab (Mathematical Informatics Lab 7) studies the theory of optimization, including discrete optimization. For problems whose solutions have a combinatorial structure, the lab aims to analyze that structure, develop efficient algorithms, and build frameworks that can treat such problems in a unified way. The lab also works on designing mechanisms that fairly aggregate people's preferences, and on network analysis of social and biological systems.
Horacio Cabral, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Cabral Lab studies nanomedicines used for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. By accurately recognizing targets in the body and triggering a drug's action only at a defined site, the lab controls drug behavior down to the intracellular level. The lab investigates how to design effective nanomedicines and how they interact with the body, aiming to bring them to the treatment of patients. Using tiny polymer-based carriers, the lab works on methods for delivering mRNA and on cancer immunotherapy.
Miyata Kanjiro, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare2 student voices
The Miyata Lab studies nanometer-sized materials that function inside the body (nanobiomaterials). Using materials whose size and surface properties are tuned, the lab controls where drugs are carried within the body. In particular, the lab focuses on mechanisms for delivering nucleic acid therapeutics, which are made of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, to targeted cells. Building on polymer materials and combining them with inorganic materials, the lab develops new nanomedicines.
Takayuki Shiraiwa, Associate Professor
Structures & Mechanics2 student voices
The lab studies the mechanisms by which materials fracture, as well as the reliability of materials. When a material is subjected to mechanical loads or environmental stress, deformation and cracks form in its fine internal microstructure, eventually leading to visible fracture. Combining experimental observations with simulations that faithfully reproduce them, the lab investigates fracture from the mechanisms by which it begins to how the material fails as a whole. The lab also aims to analyze the large volumes of data obtained from simulations to gain insights useful for materials design.
Uchida Ken, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Uchida-Toyoshima Lab studies electronic devices at the scale of nanometers, as well as sensors that use nanomaterials. The transistors that form LSIs (integrated circuits) can no longer easily gain performance just by being made smaller. Through both experiments and computation, the lab seeks to understand phenomena that occur in the nanoscale world, such as heat generation and quantum effects, and to provide guidelines for future device design. The lab also works on nanoscale molecular sensors that can distinguish the components of a person's breath.
Yoshikuni Yoshida, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Yoshida Lab takes a broad view of energy and environmental issues and conducts research for the sustainable development of humanity. Its topics range from improving everyday environments to supporting policy decision-making, all of them useful for solving global environmental problems. Using methods from engineering, economics, and behavioral science, the lab evaluates technologies that benefit the environment and their introduction into society. It is particularly strong in cross-disciplinary research that keeps the efficient use of energy in mind.
Tomochika Tokunaga, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Geosphere Environmental Systems Lab studies the environment of the geosphere beneath our feet. The geosphere is used for extracting energy resources, drawing groundwater, disposing of waste, and developing tunnels and underground shopping areas, and these uses also give rise to environmental challenges. The lab seeks to understand and predict how the interaction between humans and nature changes the geosphere environment, and develops the technologies needed to use the geosphere in harmony with the environment.
Jun Takahashi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies advanced composite materials made with carbon fiber and other materials, along with the technologies needed to put them to use in society. For the future of transportation and logistics, including electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the lab develops materials that are lightweight, mass-producible, and easy to recycle. The lab also works on simulation-based design technologies for assist suits and robots used in sports, medical care, and nursing care. In addition, the lab is developing hybrid materials for wind turbines and infrastructure that are buoyant, durable, and easy to repair and reuse.
