Muneyoshi Numada, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
Numada Lab specializes in disaster prevention process engineering, studying decision-making processes during disasters and resilience management. The lab focuses on the challenges that government officials face at disaster response sites, and conducts its research in ways that stay close to the field. Building on engineering, it also draws on knowledge from psychology, economics, sociology, and medicine to address complex disaster risks. The lab operates the Disaster Management Training Center (DMTC), affiliated with the Institute of Industrial Science, and also provides specialized education in disaster management.
Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Professor
Robotics & Control1 student voices
The Kuniyoshi-Nakajima Lab (Intelligent Systems and Informatics Lab) studies new theories and technologies toward truly intelligent robotic systems. To understand intelligence scientifically, the lab focuses on embodiment, emergence, cognitive development, and sociality. The lab also develops the machine learning and other methods needed to solve these problems, as well as hardware such as sensors and actuators, and works on applying the technologies in society.
Kuzuoka Hideaki, Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
The Kuzuoka-Tanikawa-Narumi Lab studies "cybernetic interfaces," which unite humans and computers. Starting from virtual reality (VR) technology, the lab works on technology for creating three-dimensional virtual spaces from live-action video, as well as augmented reality. Its research also covers interfaces that engage not only vision and hearing but also the five senses, including touch, smell, taste, and satiety, as well as lifelogging, which records daily life. The lab's research goes beyond developing technology to applying it in society, such as in museums and public art.
Tatsuya Harada, Professor
AI & Machine Learning1 student voices
The Harada-Kurose-Mukuta Lab conducts research that extracts useful information from the real world and combines it with the vast data and computational power of cyberspace. Its goal is advanced intelligent systems capable of understanding the real world, generating content, and discovering knowledge. The lab carries out its research using computer science in general, including mathematical foundations and robotics. Its research targets include image recognition, 3D information processing, research combining images and language, and intelligent robots.
Yoshiyuki Kawazoe, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Kawazoe Lab specializes in architectural design studies and researches sustainable urban and regional development. The lab covers a wide range of fields, including architecture, design, landscape, public space, community development, rural areas, and regional planning. The lab engages in both practical projects and theoretical research, and through the accumulation of this work, it seeks to draw a map of the world as seen through architecture. On its website, the lab presents projects such as the new construction and renovation of the General Library at the University of Tokyo and regional revitalization in Kada, Wakayama Prefecture.
Yurika Yokoyama, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Yokoyama Lab studies the relationship between people and the architecture and cities they have built, from the perspectives of cognition and behavior. The lab uses experiments and field surveys to examine how people feel and move, and aims to apply these findings as a foundation for design. It is an interdisciplinary lab for thinking about architecture, where graduate students from the Department of Architecture and the Sub-department of General Systems Studies join in discussions together at the lab seminar.
Yuji Matsuda, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Matsuda Lab studies the housing and living environments of people often called "minorities," such as people with disabilities and older adults. Through surveys, the lab clarifies what these people need and how those needs should be reflected in architecture. Its work covers living environments for people with disabilities, community life of older adults, walking environments for people with visual impairments, universal design, and more.
Unno Satoshi, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
The Unno Lab studies the history of Japanese architecture based on surviving buildings, documentary sources, and excavated remains. The focus is timber architecture from the prehistoric period to the modern era, and the scope also includes East Asia, which shares the same wooden-building culture. Through measured surveys of old buildings and assessments of their value, the lab also works to preserve them as cultural heritage for future generations and to put them to use. Students are not bound by the professor's own field, and pursue research on themes that match their individual interests.
Kaori Fujita, Professor
Structures & Mechanics1 student voices
The Fujita Lab studies the structural characteristics of traditional timber architecture, particularly its strength against earthquakes (seismic resistance). The lab uses documents to investigate the damage historic timber buildings have suffered and their repair histories, and conducts field surveys of buildings in Japan and overseas. It also continues structural monitoring, measuring vibrations at five-story pagodas, gates, main halls of temples, and other buildings to keep track of their condition. The lab also takes part in joint research with overseas universities, such as a survey of wooden churches in Norway.
Shinichi Sakamoto, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban1 student voices
Sakamoto Lab studies the sound environments of cities and architecture. Research proceeds in stages: predicting and measuring how sound propagates, reproducing sound in the laboratory, and evaluating how people perceive it. Activities center on experiments in acoustic laboratories such as anechoic chambers, and on measurements at real sites such as concert halls, railway stations, and roads. The sounds studied range from the reverberation of concert halls to everyday noise.
