山中 俊治, Professor
0 student voices
DLX Design Lab is a design team in which designers, researchers, and engineers collaborate to create prototypes of new products and services. Established in 2017 within the Institute of Industrial Science, the lab is based in studios on the Komaba II Campus and the Kashiwa II Campus. Many of its projects emerge from its original process, "Treasure Hunting," in which designers and scientists look together for opportunities to collaborate. In partnership with industry, academia, and government, the lab also works to spread design engineering methods and nurture the next generation through forums, exhibitions, and workshops.
Shunsuke Kamijo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Kamijo Lab researches technologies that process image and sensor information for autonomous driving and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The lab works on high-definition 3D maps (HD maps) for autonomous driving, LiDAR-based self-localization, and risk estimation in traffic scenes. It also conducts research on analyzing human behavior from smartphone sensors and in-store camera footage. The lab is located in the Institute of Industrial Science at the Komaba Research Campus, and many international students and researchers from abroad are part of it.
Shigeki Nakagawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakagawa Lab researches the development of systems for observing earthquakes and volcanoes. In Japan, various organizations have installed seismometers across the country and observe ground motion around the clock, and the data are sent in real time to universities, the Japan Meteorological Agency, and others. The lab develops everything from observation through data collection, data exchange between organizations, automatic processing, analysis, and information dissemination as one connected system. The lab is located at the Earthquake Research Institute and conducts its research in collaboration with researchers across the country.
Yoichi Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The lab specializes in computer vision, studying the measurement and understanding of human behavior, as well as the modeling and understanding of the appearance of objects and scenes. Through technologies that recognize and understand images and video, the lab aims to make the interaction between people and information systems in the real world more advanced. Together with the Sugano Lab, the lab carries out international joint research with universities and research institutions in Japan and abroad. For graduate studies, the lab is affiliated with the Department of Information and Communication Engineering in the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, and the Emerging Design and Informatics Course in the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies.
Ito Ken, Professor
0 student voices
The Composition-Conducting Lab asks fundamental questions about the possibilities of humans and sound, and pursues new creative work and performance along with the basic research that underlies it. Under Prof. Ito, a composer and conductor, the lab carries out the creation and performance of music in parallel with academic research aimed at reconsidering what music is. Using a wide range of methods, from examining primary sources to nonlinear correlation analysis of sound fields, the lab seeks to answer artistic questions such as the origins of Gregorian chant and Western polyphony. The lab also conducts research that creates new musical works based on how human hearing and brain cognition work.
Takefumi Ogawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ogawa Lab uses augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology to expand human abilities and conducts research that enriches everyday life. The keyword shared by every theme is "connecting": the lab builds systems that link people with people, people with computers, and people with data. The lab is run jointly with the Kudo, Nakayama, and Nakamura labs, creating an environment where students can discuss ideas with people from diverse backgrounds.
Shio K Kawagoe, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawagoe Lab conducts practice-based research on STEAM education and science and technology communication. Under the themes of engineering, education, and communication, the lab turns research results into educational interfaces and digital content, and uses them in real educational settings. It analyzes the data collected there to develop new STEAM education methods and evaluation methods. The lab also studies the relationship between science and technology and society, aiming to make that relationship better, and conducts research on how to communicate and share its significance.
Riina Toya, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Toya Lab studies "applied humanities," which extends humanistic knowledge into engineering and society. Associate Professor Toya is a member of the "Humanities and Engineering Research Group on Culture" at the Institute of Industrial Science, and is working to create a place where researchers from different fields make the integration of the humanities and sciences the norm. The research group plans to encourage the participation of practitioners, researchers, and artists from inside and outside the university, and to lead to joint research and pilot projects. The lab also continues research in its original specialties: the social and cultural history of aesthetic sensibilities, and the business history of Kansei industries such as fashion and cosmetics.
Tomohiro Amemiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Amemiya Lab studies virtual reality (VR) with a focus on the characteristics of human perception and motion. It researches the foundational technologies that create VR experiences, including multisensory display technologies, neural stimulation technologies, and motion generation technologies. It also puts into practice how widely available VR devices can be used in everyday life, especially for education and training. The lab has graduate students only, and accepts people from the humanities and the arts as well as from engineering and information science backgrounds.
Hiroshi Tsuruoka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsuruoka Lab studies earthquake information from its creation to its use, aiming to make that information useful for earthquake disaster prevention. In urban earthquake disaster prevention, it is important to determine and communicate as quickly as possible the location, magnitude, and focal mechanism of damaging earthquakes. To this end, the lab develops a system that analyzes seismic waveform data arriving in real time from seismometers across Japan, as well as a variety of earthquake information systems. Information released at an earlier stage is less accurate. The lab studies how to reduce this uncertainty by combining Earthquake Early Warning with information on observed shaking.
