Masaki Nagata, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Nagata Lab studies the power systems of the future for a decarbonized society. As renewable energy sources and energy storage systems increase, power systems are changing significantly, from a form centered on generators to one centered on equipment connected through converters. In line with this change, the lab aims to develop new technologies for the analysis, planning, and operation of power systems. It is a collaborative chair of the Department of Advanced Energy, established in partnership with the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), a general incorporated foundation.
Masaki Nishiura, Visiting Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nishiura Lab studies high-temperature plasmas with the aim of realizing fusion energy. At the Kashiwa Campus, the lab uses RT-1, a planetary magnetosphere-type device, to create plasma resembling a planetary magnetosphere in the laboratory, and investigates the mechanism of self-organization, in which plasma spontaneously forms structures. At the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture), the lab develops methods to measure and analyze the high-energy ions produced in fusion plasmas. Research is driven mainly by students, combining experiments on actual devices, analysis, and simulation.
Yuichiro Aoki, Visiting Associate Professor
0 student voices
Aoki Lab studies composite structures and the optimal design of structures. The lab aims to realize future aerospace transportation systems made as light as possible. The lab is a collaborative chair of the Department of Advanced Energy, run in partnership with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
Tsuguhiro Takahashi, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies technologies for effectively operating and managing the transmission and distribution equipment that delivers electricity. Mainly from the perspective of electrical insulation, the lab develops diagnostic technologies that accurately determine the condition of equipment such as underground cables and power transformers. The lab also develops asset management technologies that combine information on equipment condition with an economic perspective to plan optimal maintenance and replacement. The lab is a collaborative chair of the Department of Advanced Energy, run in partnership with the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), a general incorporated foundation.
Ryota Kobayashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Kobayashi Lab studies mathematical modeling and data analysis techniques for complex systems such as society and the brain. The lab develops techniques for extracting useful information from data that changes over time (time series). In particular, it investigates how information flows within the brain and on social media.
Satoshi Tanaka, Visiting Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies the internal structure of the Moon and planets through exploration. The lab develops penetrators, observation instruments equipped with seismometers and other sensors that pierce into the ground, and analyzes observation data obtained during the Apollo program. The lab is run by a lab at the JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science as a collaborative chair of the Department of Complexity Science and Engineering, and students conduct their research at the institute. Students choose their research topics according to their own interests, and the lab studies not only the Moon but also other bodies such as asteroids.
Kouji Shinohara, Professor
0 student voices
The Shinohara Lab studies plasma physics with the aim of realizing fusion energy. Light elements such as hydrogen, which serve as fusion fuel, are found in many places in the universe, and the lab regards fusion as an essential energy source for humanity to expand its living sphere beyond Earth. In collaboration with the Ejiri-Tsujii-Todo Lab, the lab carries out its research using experimental data from the TST-2 device at Kashiwa Campus and from devices outside the university, together with physics computation codes. Taking a data-driven science perspective to understand how these phenomena work, the lab aims to contribute to simulators for operating fusion devices.
Yasushi Todo, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Todo Lab studies nonlinear phenomena in plasmas through large-scale simulations on supercomputers. A plasma is a collection of many electrically charged particles, and the interaction between the particles and electromagnetic fields gives rise to complex behavior. The lab's central question is how fast ions and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves interact in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. The lab is a cooperative chair of the Department of Complexity Science and Engineering, run by researchers from the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture).
Shigeyoshi Fujisawa, Visiting Professor
0 student voices
The Fujisawa Lab studies how the brain supports functions such as episodic memory and the perception of time and space, working at the level of neural circuits. Using silicon probes, a type of electrode, the lab simultaneously records the activity of many neurons in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of behaving animals such as rats. The lab analyzes the resulting data and builds mathematical models to clarify how neurons contribute to cognitive functions. The lab is a cooperative chair of the Department of Complexity Science and Engineering, run by a research team at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science.
Toru Aonishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Aonishi Lab studies the brain and nervous system, functional materials such as batteries, and coherent Ising machines, a type of optical computer. These may seem unrelated at first glance, but as systems they share a common mathematical structure (isomorphism), which means the same machine learning and statistical mechanics methods can be applied to them. The lab works with experimental and theoretical researchers from many fields to build models and clarify the higher-order functions and design principles of each system. The lab sees its role as creating a counter-current to the increasing fragmentation of research fields.
