Masaki Sekino, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare1 student voices
The Sekino Lab researches next-generation medical devices that make use of electromagnetic fields. Magnetic fields reach deep into the body without weakening and involve no radiation exposure like X-rays, making it possible to image the inside of the body clearly. Treatments that use pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate nerves in the brain and relieve conditions such as chronic pain are also becoming established. The lab studies technologies for detecting disease early and treating it in ways that are gentle on the body, incorporating AI as well.
Takafumi Koseki, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Koseki-Ohnishi Lab studies the application of electrical engineering and electronics and information science to social systems such as transportation, including railway vehicles, magnetic levitation, and linear motors. The lab also conducts theoretical research on control engineering and works on applying it in industry. Learning control, system identification, mathematical optimization, and mechatronics form the core of its research. The lab also covers wireless power transfer to electric vehicles and energy-saving railway operation.
Akiko Kumada, Professor
Imaging & Sensing1 student voices
The Kumada-Sato-Fujii-Umemoto Lab studies high-voltage and discharge plasma phenomena. The lab develops methods to measure these phenomena, clarifies their mechanisms, controls them from an engineering standpoint, and explores new uses for them. It works on insulation technology for the high-voltage, high-current equipment that supports power systems, and on extending that work to smart power equipment. The lab is jointly run by Professor Kumada, Associate Professor Sato, Project Professor Fujii, and Project Associate Professor Umemoto. Because Engineering Building No. 13 is being renovated, the lab has temporarily moved to the Ship Motion Performance Testing Tank (as of September 2026).
Hiroshi Esaki, Professor
Communications & Networks1 student voices
The Esaki-Ochiai Lab is a networking lab at the University of Tokyo. The lab conducts broad research, from network architecture and backbones to sensors and mobile, and on to smart city practice and security that make use of them. The lab studies both the foundational and applied technologies of the next-generation Internet, aiming to produce practical technologies by actually developing and operating them. The lab contributes to many projects, including the WIDE Project, and also takes part in operating the networks for events such as Interop Tokyo and IETF meetings.
Hidetsugu Irie, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Irie-Kadomoto Lab researches computer systems and their applications, working to build the future of the information society. The lab works on realizing more powerful computers, as well as lighter and more flexible ones. It also studies user-support services that are possible precisely because of these new kinds of computers. A representative research topic is STRAIGHT, a processor architecture that originated in the lab.
Hitoshi Iba, Professor
AI & Machine Learning1 student voices
The Iba Lab studies computation and systems built around two keywords: "evolution" and "the emergence of intelligence." From methods for solving optimization problems to learning and inference in artificial intelligence, the lab aims at "problem solving that learns from nature." The lab combines metaheuristics, such as evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence, with machine learning, deep learning, and large language models. The lab also conducts research on complex systems and artificial life, as well as practical research on AI education.
Makoto Ikeda, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
Ikeda Lab studies the design and evaluation of new high-performance cryptographic hardware using VLSI design techniques. The lab aims to put high-performance cryptography, such as post-quantum cryptography and homomorphic encryption, into practical use as hardware that runs it securely and quickly. It also works on evaluating the security of cryptographic hardware, for example whether secret information leaks when the hardware is attacked. The lab also studies technology that automatically generates hardware from programs written in Python or C/C++, as well as image sensors.
Toshiya Ideue, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Ideue Lab studies the properties and functions of materials that are only a few atoms thick. Layered crystals can be turned into thin films simply by peeling them off with tape, and they show properties different from those of three-dimensional crystals. By stacking many kinds of atomic layers and applying electric fields, magnetic fields, or pressure, the lab controls the symmetry and quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom of materials. Combining electrical and optical measurements, the lab searches for new phenomena in electrical conduction, superconductivity, and optical properties.
Katsuyuki Fukutani, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Fukutani Lab is a surface science and vacuum science lab that studies phenomena occurring at solid surfaces and interfaces. Surfaces have lower dimensionality and symmetry than three-dimensional bulk, and show distinctive properties such as interface superconductivity, surface magnetism, and catalytic effects. Solid surfaces play an especially important role in the production, storage, and sensing of hydrogen, a clean energy carrier. Through work such as the development of spin-polarized hydrogen, the lab aims to uncover the mechanisms of spin conversion and molecule formation at surfaces.
Keiji Sakai, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Sakai Lab develops its own technologies for measuring the physical properties of liquids and soft materials. The lab ejects droplets about the size of a cell into the air and captures them, then studies phenomena unique to the microscale. By observing collisions between droplets and the oscillation of droplets that hit a substrate, the lab also measures properties such as surface tension. The lab has also developed a new type of viscometer based on the electromagnetically spinning (EMS) method, and is advancing joint research with industry and medicine.
