Tsuyoshi Minami, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Minami Lab centers on supramolecular chemistry inspired by how living organisms distinguish molecules, and its work spans everything from the design and synthesis of materials to the development of electronic devices and chips. The lab particularly focuses on developing sensor devices that can detect substances involved in biological phenomena, as well as environmental pollutants, using electrical or optical signals. The lab aims to create materials that capture invisible molecules harmful to the body and signal their presence by glowing, as well as devices that monitor the body's health condition in real time.
Shota Suetsugu, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Suetsugu Lab studies quantum phenomena arising from topological properties in strongly correlated electron systems, where electrons interact strongly with one another. Materials that combine topology, the study of geometric properties, with electron correlations are a treasure trove of new quantum phenomena. The lab pursues its research on two pillars: precision measurements at extremely low temperatures and materials design through sample synthesis.
Akira Furusawa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Furusawa Lab uses methods from quantum optics to research optical quantum computers, which carry information on waves of light to perform computation. The core technology is "quantum teleportation," which transfers a quantum state intact to another location. Prof. Furusawa and colleagues were the first in the world to succeed in this experiment, and the lab is now working toward a quantum computer that can be used for any computation and can also correct errors. The lab's work ranges from experiments that verify theory and principles to the integration of optical circuits with a view to practical use.
Murakami Shuichi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies, from a theoretical standpoint, new phenomena that appear in the various properties of materials (condensed matter physics). Looking at a wide range of systems, from quantum to classical, with a flexible perspective, the lab aims to find universal laws and open new fields where no research exists yet. The lab's main research method is analytical calculation using models. Its work ranges from research on specific materials to building frameworks for condensed matter theory and mathematical physics.
Toru H. Okabe, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Okabe Lab (Resource Recycling and Materials Process Engineering Lab) studies new technologies for producing rare metals such as titanium, as well as technologies for recycling them. Rare metals are also called the "vitamins of industry," and demand is growing for their use as materials for magnets and electronic components. The lab also works on environmental technologies essential to a recycling-oriented society, such as methods for recovering rare metals from scrap (waste). The lab provides research supervision that values students' independence and initiative, and students can even design and build their own experimental equipment.
Junya Inoue, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Inoue Lab studies defects, deformation, and fracture in metals and alloys, including steels. Stronger structural materials make it possible, for example, to build lighter car bodies, which helps address resource and energy problems. The lab aims to make materials easier to deform without losing strength. Drawing on data-driven materials science, the lab works to develop new structural materials with improved performance.
Keiichi Edagawa, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Edagawa Lab studies the relationship between the arrangement of atoms in solids (their microscopic structure) and the physical properties of materials. Atomic arrangements in solids fall into three types: periodic "crystals," quasi-periodic "quasicrystals," and "amorphous" solids, which have no long-range order. These differences shape the properties of materials. The lab aims to apply the knowledge gained in this way to the development of new materials.
Yuhei Miyauchi, Professor
Energy & Batteries1 student voices
The Miyauchi Lab conducts nanotechnology research aimed at new technologies that use solar and thermal energy efficiently. The lab investigates the properties and functions of nanoscale materials, such as carbon nanotubes, in which quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and their applications to energy. Its research spans from the fundamentals of condensed matter physics and materials synthesis, through thermal, mechanical, electronic, and optical engineering, to materials development. Prof. Miyauchi holds a concurrent appointment at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University, and the lab operates at two sites: Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo.
Takashi Kohno, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices1 student voices
The Neuromimetic Systems Lab studies "silicon neuronal networks," which are networks of neurons built from electronic circuits. The lab aims to make these networks a foundational technology for "brain-compatible" computing systems that process information on the same principles as the brain. The lab takes a cross-disciplinary approach, combining analog and digital electronic circuit design with mathematical models of neurons and neural networks. Using nonlinear mathematics in its designs, the lab develops ultra-low-power circuits and works to elucidate the principles of information processing in the brain.
Yousoo Kim, Project Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Kim Lab studies how molecules attached to solid surfaces react and how they exchange light and energy. Using a scanning tunneling microscope that can resolve individual atoms, the lab observes molecules one at a time. With single-molecule spectroscopy methods it has developed in-house, it measures the changes in state that accompany reactions and the absorption and emission of light. This understanding is important for developing solid catalysts that drive reactions efficiently and molecular devices that emit light or convert light into electricity. The lab conducts research together with the Surface and Interface Science Laboratory at RIKEN.
