Ichiro Sakata, Professor
Economics & Social Systems2 student voices
The Sakata-Mori-Asatani Lab uses AI and data science methods to study phenomena related to management, society, and science and technology. The lab works with a wide range of data, including big data from academic papers, social media, corporate transaction records, and review texts. Centered on machine learning, natural language processing, and network analysis, the lab also works on analyzing generative AI (large language models). Students choose their own research topics and the faculty focus on supporting them, so the topics in the lab are highly diverse.
Taro Kanno, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems2 student voices
Kanno Lab studies safe and resilient sociotechnical systems from a human-centered perspective. The lab investigates how teams and organizations cooperate, using models and computer simulations. It also develops business continuity plans (BCPs) for disaster-resilient societies. The lab combines a range of methods, including field observation, experiments with participants, and software development.
Tomoya Kawabata, Professor
Structures & Mechanics2 student voices
The Kawabata Lab studies the mechanical safety assessment of materials used in large structures. In addition to the strength to withstand their own weight and earthquakes, structures need the durability to keep their shape over a long time, and the property of not letting damage spread even when a part fails. The lab mainly works with iron and steel materials, which are easy to process and whose properties change greatly with the addition of alloying elements and with heat treatment. The lab takes a multifaceted approach to research, combining theory-based modeling, experiments and observation, and numerical analysis.
Kazuhiro Aoyama, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace2 student voices
Aoyama Lab studies how to describe and analyze the structure of complex systems (system architecture) and how to create new systems. Products are made by combining many functions, but diverse and complex customer requirements can no longer be met by simple combinations alone. The lab analyzes the structure of a system to find its problems, proposes design solutions that extend to the management of product design and development, and implements those systems. The lab conducts joint research with companies such as Mitsui Fudosan and Toyota Motor, using urban development and manufacturing as its subjects.
Makoto Takamiya, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices2 student voices
The Takamiya Lab researches power delivery technologies built around LSI design. Electronics is finding uses in more places, from IoT and wearables to devices implanted in the body, moving from objects to the surface of the body and then inside it. The key to making this possible is the technology for how to deliver power. The lab handles a wide range of power levels, from nW in IoT to kW in power electronics, and explores new solutions by combining insights from different fields.
ドロネー ジャン・ジャック, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing2 student voices
The lab fabricates micro- and nanometer-scale structures and uses them in energy conversion and optical devices. By advancing microfabrication technology, it designs and creates structures that interact strongly with their surrounding environment. For example, efficiently adsorbing water molecules from the air onto a material with fine pores can be used for cooling. The strong interaction between metal structures and light can be used in highly sensitive sensors for medical and biological applications, and in ultrafast switches for optical communications.
Lui Yoshida, Associate Professor
Software & Computing2 student voices
The Yoshida Lab combines insights from education with technologies such as generative AI to study "systems" that create enjoyable, deep learning. Here, a "system" means not only a program but the whole mechanism of learning: who is taught, by what method, what is evaluated, and how it is improved. In addition to developing systems that support learning, the lab also creates educational programs and teaching approaches. The lab places importance on having people actually use what it creates, evaluating it, and applying the results to the next improvement.
Chika Takatori, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban2 student voices
The lab studies spatial planning and management centered on urban green space. The lab develops green infrastructure plans as adaptation measures to sea level rise, extreme weather, and natural disasters caused by climate change. As the population declines, the lab also examines how to sustain green space from the perspectives of institutions and costs. The lab also works on public space management so that older adults, children, and people with disabilities can use green space equitably.
Eiji Hato, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban2 student voices
The Transportation, Urban and Land Studies Lab studies cities and transportation in fields such as transportation planning, urban planning, urban formation history, and urban design. The lab conducts fundamental research based on behavioral observation, mathematical methods, and analysis of historical records, targeting cities at various scales, such as streets and plazas, and stations and their surrounding towns. It aims to connect the results to the planning and design of actual urban spaces and to the implementation of traffic control systems and urban simulation. The lab places importance on its start-up lab seminar, where newly joined students learn programming and basic transportation theory, and on its lab seminar for reading papers together in turn.
Fukao Takanori, Professor
Robotics & Control2 student voices
The Fukao-Nishio Lab studies field robotics, aiming to realize robots that work autonomously outdoors. Combining AI and robotics, the lab tackles head-on the uncertainty and difficulty of real environments. Its research targets include autonomous driving on narrow, rough roads, robots that automate work on vegetables and fruit trees, and drones that can work in harsh environments. Emphasizing field testing and implementation, the lab moves back and forth between theory and practice, aiming for early deployment in society.
