Daisuke Nishi, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare1 student voices
The lab studies how to protect and support mental health. The lab consists of two teams, Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing. Although their perspectives differ, they share many of the same issues and methodologies. The Mental Health team applies a public health approach to preventing mental illness and promoting mental health in communities and workplaces. The Psychiatric Nursing team conducts research from a nursing perspective, so that people who need support can live in a way that is true to themselves.
Fujimoto A, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Human Genetics Lab studies human heredity and diversity. The lab finds genetic diversity and variants in the human genome and clarifies what functions they have. It aims to apply its findings to disease research. Using both experiments and computational analysis, the lab tackles a wide range of problems in human genetics.
Yoichi Mieda, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Mieda Lab studies the Langlands correspondence in the field of number theory. The lab's research centers on geometric objects called Shimura varieties and their local counterparts, Rapoport-Zink spaces. The main goal is to gain a deeper understanding of automorphic representations and representations of p-adic reductive groups through these objects.
Ryozo Ooka, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Ooka-Kikumoto Lab studies the wind, thermal, and air environments of cities and buildings, as well as energy systems. The lab works on systems that use renewable energy and on control methods that optimize how energy is used. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), deep learning, and wind tunnel experiments, the lab investigates indoor airflow, cough droplets, urban wind, and air pollution. The Ooka Lab and the Kikumoto Lab work together as a joint group at the Institute of Industrial Science on the Komaba Campus.
Kengo Hayashi, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Hayashi Lab studies the history of architecture and cities, focusing mainly on Asian cities. It examines how cities and architecture relate to the nature, culture, and history of each place (the regional ecosphere), and works to document, pass on, and renew that relationship. It carries out projects in Japan and abroad, including documenting modern and contemporary architecture in Southeast Asia and restoring and reusing old buildings in Oman and Miyagi Prefecture.
Masayuki Hashisaka, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Hashisaka Lab uses precise electrical conductance measurement techniques and nanofabrication techniques to experimentally study quantum transport phenomena in materials. A major theme is the observation and control of elementary excitations in quantum many-body systems, which arise from interactions between electrons. The current focus is the observation and control of quasiparticles in fractional quantum Hall systems, which carry a charge smaller than that of a single electron. The lab aims to establish new quantum technologies that cannot be realized with natural particles such as electrons or photons.
Tadashi Koseki, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Koseki Lab studies high-energy particle accelerators. At J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), the high-intensity proton accelerator facility on the Tokai Campus, the lab conducts research to increase the intensity of the proton beam. The appeal of this research lies in figuring out how to combat the electromagnetic forces that the particles in the beam exert on one another (space charge effects). At the Tsukuba Campus, members can also take part in development research related to the SuperKEKB collider and the International Linear Collider (ILC).
Hitoshi Kurumizaka, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Kurumizaka Lab studies the structure and function of chromatin, the form in which DNA is packaged inside the cell nucleus. Most cells in the body carry the same DNA, yet they develop into cells with different forms and functions. Epigenetics is the mechanism that controls this without changing the DNA sequence, and the key lies in the structure of chromatin. Combining biochemical methods with structural analysis such as cryo-electron microscopy, the lab aims to uncover how chromatin switches gene activity on and off.
Tomoki Miyakawa, Associate Professor
Environment & Sustainability1 student voices
Miyakawa Lab studies phenomena such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a huge cluster of clouds that forms in the tropics. The lab uses NICAM, a global cloud-resolving model that can calculate clouds across the entire Earth in fine detail, and NICOCO, which couples NICAM with an ocean model. It also combines the MIROC climate model, satellite data, in-situ observational data, and theoretical models. The lab aims to reproduce, understand, and predict these phenomena.
Koizumi Hideki, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Machizukuri Lab studies methods of design, planning, and management for regenerating communities and towns. The lab coordinates its own community development projects and builds up its practice-based research through them. The lab's central activity is to explore methodologies, techniques, and the basic theories that support them from many angles, and to apply them to real community development efforts. Students interested in applying technologies such as spatial design and GIS to community development, or in theoretical research, are also welcome.
