Sayaka Uchida, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis1 student voices
Uchida Lab assembles metal oxide clusters like building blocks to create solids with useful functions. The lab uses anionic inorganic metal oxide clusters called polyoxometalates. Using these as building blocks, the lab synthesizes porous ionic crystals (PICs) and uses their voids as sites for adsorbing, transporting, and converting molecules and ions. Based on inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, and physical chemistry, the lab is developing applications in catalysts and proton conductors.
Yoshio Kikukawa, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Kikukawa Lab specializes in elementary particle theory and studies quantum field theory and lattice gauge theory. The lab belongs to the Physics Group of the Division of Basic Science, Department of General Systems Studies, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. At the undergraduate level, the lab is in charge of the Mathematical and Natural Sciences Course in the Department of Integrated Natural Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences.
Seiji Sugawa, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Sugawa Lab studies the quantum world using atomic gases laser-cooled to nearly absolute zero. Atoms are trapped in optical lattices and optical tweezers, and their motion and internal states are precisely controlled. Using a method called quantum simulation, the lab experimentally explores phenomena that arise from interactions among many quantum mechanical particles. Through the development of cutting-edge technology, the lab also aims to open up the frontier of quantum science and technology, from fundamental science to applications such as quantum technologies.
Hotta Chisa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Hotta Lab conducts theoretical research on pioneering new phases in quantum many-body and strongly correlated systems, in which large numbers of electrons and spins interact. Condensed matter physics is the field that seeks to understand how a rich variety of phenomena arises when an enormous number of electrons, which are microscopic particles, come together. The lab investigates what properties arise from the combination of quantum fluctuations and many-body effects, and how their essence can be understood. Its ultimate goal is to find new concepts from a theoretical standpoint, stimulate experiments, and create new fields.
Koji Hukushima, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Hukushima Lab is a lab grounded in statistical physics. Building on the statistical mechanics of random systems rooted in spin glass theory, the lab focuses on random magnets and the theory of phase transitions. From there, its research extends to the theory of glasses, computational complexity theory, data-driven science, and the development of computational physics methods. The lab aims for "Undisciplined Science," research that is not confined by the boundaries of any field.
Keitaro Yoshimoto, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Yoshimoto Lab studies nucleic acids not merely as carriers of genetic information but as "molecules" whose functions can be programmed. At the core of its work are "nucleic acid aptamers," which specifically recognize a wide range of target molecules. By combining evolutionary molecular engineering with analytical and measurement technologies, the lab develops new diagnostic systems, drugs, and biomaterials that control cell fate. Through the design and control of nucleic acid molecules, the lab deepens the understanding of fundamental life science while aiming for applications in environmental and medical fields.
Ryuji Takagi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Takagi Lab conducts fundamental research in quantum information theory. Drawing on perspectives from physics, information science, and computational science, the lab clarifies the essential properties of quantum systems from an operational viewpoint. Its main research topics include quantum resource theory, quantum entanglement theory, and quantum thermodynamics. Founded in 2024, it is a new lab on the Komaba Campus.
Munehito Arai, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Arai Lab conducts experimental and theoretical research to design new proteins that are useful for medicine and industry. Using state-of-the-art protein design methods, the lab aims to develop drugs that target diseases such as viral infections, cancer, and allergies. The lab also works on developing enzymes that efficiently produce biofuels and other products, and on basic research into the mechanisms of protein folding. Combining life sciences, physics, and information science, the lab advances its research from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
Yuichi Wakamoto, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Wakamoto Lab studies the fundamental principles of biological phenomena such as growth, adaptation, evolution, and differentiation, using E. coli, yeast, and cancer cells as models. Organisms are diverse, but some traits and rules are shared across species. The lab explores the origins and significance of these commonalities through both experiments and theory. It focuses in particular on fluctuations, plasticity, and interactions observed at the single-cell level. To do this, the lab develops its own measurement technologies and advances its analyses alongside them.
Yusuke Kato, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kato Lab specializes in condensed matter theory (quantum condensed matter physics) and studies phenomena that quantum mechanics produces inside materials. Its central themes are the physics of superconducting states, superfluids and supersolids, and the magnetism and transport phenomena of chiral materials. Superconductivity and superfluidity are prototype phenomena of quantum condensation and quantum many-body physics. The lab is located on the Komaba Campus and accepts graduate students from both the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Science.
