Daisuke Kiriya, Associate Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Kiriya Lab studies the interfaces formed when two or more materials come into contact, from an interdisciplinary perspective that combines multiple fields. It focuses in particular on combining molecular materials (organic materials) with inorganic materials. Molecular materials are soft and highly varied, while inorganic materials are hard, show high values for physical properties, and serve as building blocks of electronic devices. By combining the two, the lab aims to create highly functional devices with spontaneity, devices that respond to stimuli and their environment, and quantum properties and quantum devices.
Moritoshi Sato, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Sato Lab is developing entirely new foundational technologies for manipulating biological phenomena with light. Applying these foundational technologies, the lab creates technologies that freely control genome editing, gene expression, and intracellular signaling, both inside cells and in living organisms. The lab manipulates genes involved in biological phenomena and diseases with light in order to elucidate how they function. The lab aims to make it possible to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders, through new light-based approaches.
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.
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.
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.
