Shinji Tsuneyuki, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Tsuneyuki Lab uses computer simulations to study the properties of materials theoretically. The core of its research is "first-principles calculations," which solve the fundamental equations for electrons using only fundamental physical constants, without relying on experimental data. The lab predicts how materials behave under conditions that are difficult to investigate experimentally, such as ultrahigh pressure and the surfaces and interfaces of complex solids. Developing new simulation methods is itself one of the lab's central research themes.
Masahito Yamazaki, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Yamazaki Lab studies theoretical physics, particularly theoretical particle physics and mathematical physics. Centered on quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and superstring theory, the lab investigates the fundamental principles that govern phenomena in nature. The lab also conducts research at the boundaries with related fields, such as pure mathematics, cosmology, condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, and quantum information theory. The lab operates as part of the Particle Theory Lab at Hongo Campus, and also conducts research at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at Kashiwa Campus.
Takeo Moroi, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Moroi Lab studies particle theory and particle cosmology. Its research centers on physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, in particular particle models with supersymmetry and their applications to cosmology. The lab considers how new theories can be tested experimentally, with the LHC experiments in mind. It also works on unresolved problems in the universe, such as the origin of dark matter, the origin of baryon number generation (baryogenesis), and inflation.
Daisuke Suzuki, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab investigates, through experiments, the properties of atomic nuclei, which are assemblies of protons and neutrons, and of nuclear matter. Using accelerator experiments in which radioactive isotopes (RI) serve as beams, the lab works on exotic nuclei, nuclear matter inside neutron stars, and cosmic nucleosynthesis. The lab's main research base is the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), and it also conducts experiments at GANIL in France and TRIUMF in Canada. Launched in December 2024, the lab is new, and it is also developing a variety of detectors used in its experiments.
Takenori Sasaki, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Sasaki Lab studies animal taxonomy, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Focusing mainly on mollusks (shellfish), the lab investigates them from four perspectives: species diversity, body plan diversity, habitat diversity, and the fossil record. By comparing forms, the lab aims to understand the meaning of the shapes of living things and how they came to be. The lab is located in the University Museum, where Associate Professor Sasaki is in charge of managing the museum's paleontological and zoological specimens.
Hirata Takafumi, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
Hirata Lab studies the concentrations and isotopic compositions of trace elements contained in rocks and meteorites. These measurements make it possible to estimate when a sample formed and what the environment was like at that time. Using state-of-the-art analytical instruments, the lab aims to clarify the history of the solar system, the Earth, and the origin and evolution of life. Visitors are welcome to tour the lab at any time, and if you contact the lab in advance, someone will show you around.
Hiroyuki Kagi, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
The Kagi Lab aims to understand the materials that make up the Earth, and the processes by which they change, from a chemical perspective. Making use of techniques that allow in situ measurement while high pressure is maintained, the lab investigates the structures and transformations of various materials under high pressure. The lab takes on a wide range of research topics, centered on spectroscopy and crystallography under high-pressure conditions corresponding to the Earth's deep interior. The lab is open to recruiting students who are interested in geochemistry and high-pressure science, and accepts inquiries about lab visits at any time.
Tatsuya Hirasawa, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Hirasawa Lab combines paleontology and evolutionary developmental biology to study the evolution of animals with backbones (vertebrates). The fossil record shows that the forms of living things have not changed at a uniform rate, but have repeatedly alternated between periods of stasis and periods of abrupt change. The lab investigates the reasons for this pattern from two sides: external factors such as environmental change, and internal factors in the form of developmental constraints, which arise from how the body is built. Centered on detailed analysis of fossil specimens and developmental biology experiments at the gene and cell level, the lab also carries out fieldwork to collect fossils and international collaborative research.
Yohey Suzuki, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies how life and rock interact on a planetary scale, including on the early Earth when life first emerged and on Mars. In particular, the lab goes directly to unexplored places, the deep sea and deep underground, using submersibles and underground laboratories, and analyzes the collected samples to reveal the nature of life that is still unknown. The lab's research combines solid-sample analysis, a strength of earth science, with genome analysis, a strength of life science. The lab also puts great effort into training people who will take part in future searches for extraterrestrial life.
Kazuhisa Goto, Professor
Earth & Climate0 student voices
Goto Lab studies event deposits, which are sedimentary layers formed all at once by events such as tsunamis and typhoons, from the perspectives of geology and sedimentology. Centered on fieldwork, the lab combines various analyses and calculations to uncover the history of the Earth and the realities of natural disasters. Its interdisciplinary research also draws on engineering techniques and on insights from history and archaeology, and it works to contribute to disaster prevention and to society. The lab collaborates with research institutions in Japan and abroad, and students can also acquire skills in high-precision analysis and numerical computation.
