Hirohisa Hirohisa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hirohisa Lab studies control systems and museum engineering. The lab develops its own programming framework for running many processes concurrently. At exhibitions held at the University Museum, the lab has experimented with adding a soundscape to the venue. The lab has developed a geographic information system (GIS) that can handle old maps and pictorial maps, and it also collects and digitizes old maps.
Yoshio Ishiguro, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ishiguro Lab studies human-computer interaction, which examines the relationship between people and computers, and the augmentation of human abilities through technology. Another pillar of its research is the relationship between people and autonomous mobile systems, as typified by self-driving cars. The lab carries out its research through joint projects with companies, universities, and research institutions. Rather than simply having autonomous mobile systems replace people, the lab aims to realize a world in which they live alongside people, like dogs and cats.
Satori Hachisuka, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Hachisuka Lab studies ergonomics and human interfaces. The lab aims to find the small “joys” in everyday life and to maintain positive, enriching mental and physical health. The lab builds systems that sense a person's state at work, at school, and at home, and provide feedback to help keep them in a good state. By combining technologies such as signal processing, AI, and XR, the lab investigates methods and mechanisms for boosting people's motivation.
Noboru Koshizuka, Professor
0 student voices
The Koshizuka-Hatano-Yokokubo-Hamada-Ge joint lab studies AI-centered distributed federated systems and data spaces. The lab builds mechanisms that allow AI and existing systems to exchange and share data safely. The lab also works on research that uses AI to solve social problems in areas such as smart cities, government, agriculture, tourism, and education. Working with industry, government, academia, and overseas institutions, the lab aims not only to write papers but also to make its results usable in society.
Shinichi Sakai, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Shinichi Sakai's lab studies information that reduces damage from natural disasters, based on earthquake observation. Natural phenomena do not follow a manual, so the lab explores systems that let everyone act safely by accurately grasping the current situation and predicting what comes next. The lab considers what information people need to decide on the best possible action in a disaster, and how that information should be communicated. Using seismometers, the lab has measured ground shaking in a variety of places, including volcanic areas, the seafloor, elementary schools, and temples.
Bregham Dalgliesh, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Dalgliesh Lab studies philosophical critique, the ethics of internationalization, and science and technology studies. The starting point of the lab's research is to make the "will to know" itself recognized as a problem. Drawing on modern European thought from Kant through Nietzsche to Foucault, the lab has developed a philosophical method called "critical history." The lab holds that the way humans exist today should be considered within the horizon of the Anthropocene as an event.
Jason G. Karlin, Professor
0 student voices
The Karlin Lab conducts research in media studies and cultural studies. Its main subjects are social media, data science, and computer-mediated communication (CMC). Prof. Karlin's books include Gender and Nation in Meiji Japan, which deals with gender and the nation in Meiji-era Japan, and the co-authored AKB48. Prof. Karlin also develops software, such as sentiment analysis tools.
Ai Hisano, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hisano Lab studies business history, cultural history, and the history of technology, focusing mainly on the 20th-century United States. The lab is interested in how today's world has been shaped as changes in politics, economy, society, and culture interact with one another. It has studied how social norms and cultural values changed as consumerist society spread, also drawing on gender studies. Recently, the lab has focused on sensory history, studying how technological and industrial development has affected how people experience taste, sight, smell, and other senses.
Shiro Harada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Harada Lab studies international relations and the issues in international politics that involve computer technology. Originally interested in armed conflict, the lab has used statistical methods to analyze how wars between states and civil wars begin and end. Recently, the lab has focused on Cambodian politics and elections. The lab has also carried out research and development on enabling computers to handle Khmer script, Cambodia's national script, correctly.
Katsuo Nawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Nawa Lab studies social and cultural anthropology, focusing on Nepal and the wider South Asian and Himalayan region. The foundation of the lab's research is fieldwork in Byans, a highland area of far-western Nepal, and the surrounding areas. The lab has studied social groupings that have been called "ethnic groups" and "castes," changes in rituals, and multilingual language use and translation. Broadly speaking, the lab is interested in questions about the relationship between norms and action.
