Komiya Tsuyoshi, Professor
Earth & Climate1 student voices
The Komiya Lab studies the history of the Earth from the perspectives of the solid Earth, the atmosphere and oceans, and the evolution of life. The lab conducts geological fieldwork in places such as Canada, Greenland, India, and China, and analyzes the rocks and fossils it collects. So far, it has found traces of life in sedimentary rocks that are 3.95 billion years old or older. For graduate study, students can join the lab through the Graduate School of Science as well as the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Takeru Suzuki, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
Suzuki Lab studies astrophysical phenomena involving astrophysical fluids, space plasmas, and cosmic magnetic fields. It investigates the underlying mechanisms with theoretical approaches, including large-scale numerical simulations. The targets include every kind of object that has magnetized fluids or plasma, from the Sun and stars to compact objects, galaxies, protoplanetary disks, and planets. Rather than limiting itself to particular objects, the lab has pursued its research with the aim of understanding the physical processes common to various astrophysical fluids.
Tatsuru Masuda, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Masuda Lab analyzes plant metabolic systems using the metabolism of tetrapyrrole molecules as a clue. The representative tetrapyrroles in plants are chlorophyll, which receives light energy in photosynthesis, and heme, which carries oxygen and transfers electrons. Both are made through a shared biosynthetic pathway, but because they generate reactive oxygen species when exposed to light, their synthesis requires strict control. The research began with the question of how plants achieve both strict control and active biosynthesis.
Ikeda Hajime, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Ikeda Lab unravels the evolutionary history preserved in genomes to clarify how plants interact with their environments. Its goal is to understand the mechanisms by which biodiversity has been generated. Centered on fieldwork, the lab analyzes evolutionary dynamics using DNA sequences and genomic data. It also combines this with approaches that grow plants in the laboratory and study them physiologically and genetically.
Yuki Hibiya, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
Hibiya Lab studies how the solar system was born and how planets such as Earth formed, from the perspective of the evolution of matter. Using knowledge of isotope science, chronology, and mineral chemistry, the lab examines meteorites that fall to Earth as well as rocks from Earth itself. By handling material that came from space firsthand, the lab investigates how Earth and the solar system came to be 4.5 billion years ago.
Haruo Saito, Professor
0 student voices
Saito Lab conducts physics experiments using high-performance digital measuring instruments and data analysis methods. The lab studies three subjects: digital audio equipment, reference signal sources, and positronium. For audio equipment and reference signal sources, the lab uses measurement techniques it developed in-house to measure timing deviations and phase noise. For positronium, the lab conducts experiments to measure how it interacts with gas molecules.
Masafumi Oizumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Oizumi Lab studies how to use mathematics to bridge neural activity in the brain and the subjective experiences people have. The lab approaches the problem of consciousness by dividing it into three pillars: the quality of consciousness, the level of consciousness, and the location of consciousness. Starting from integrated information theory, which holds that the essence of consciousness lies in "intrinsic information," the lab aims to make theories of consciousness experimentally testable. Using mathematical tools such as information geometry, control theory, and thermodynamics, and collaborating with experimental researchers, the lab connects theory with data.
Takumi Kinoshita, Lecturer
0 student voices
Kinoshita Lab studies light energy conversion and renewable energy. Its areas of expertise are energy-related chemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
Seishiro Aoki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Aoki Lab studies interactions between plants and bacteria and fungi from the standpoint of evolutionary biology. The research keywords listed for the lab include rhizobia, legumes, Agrobacterium, and plants of the genus Nicotiana (tobacco).
Yudai Suwa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Suwa Lab studies the gravitational collapse that massive stars undergo at the end of their lives, and the explosions that accompany it. The lab works on the mechanisms of supernova explosions and gamma-ray bursts, as well as the neutrinos and gravitational waves emitted by compact objects such as neutron stars. These objects host physics at energies and densities beyond the reach of experiments on Earth. By deepening understanding of these astronomical objects, the lab aims to approach the world of extreme physics.
