Seiichi Ohta, Associate Professor
Medicine & Healthcare2 student voices
The Ohta Lab studies new diagnostic technologies that use nanoparticles. Depending on their size and shape, nanoparticles behave differently from ordinary-sized materials. By combining techniques for precisely controlling particle size, shape, and surface with the systems-oriented approach of chemical engineering, the lab aims to bring out that potential. The lab is developing methods to detect, with high sensitivity, simultaneously, and easily, the changes that occur in the body with disease.
Toru Wakihara, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Wakihara Lab studies materials with tiny, nanometer-sized pores, with a focus on zeolites. Zeolites are used in catalysts for petroleum-related processes and in catalysts that treat automobile exhaust, and their use is also expected to expand to adsorbents and separation membranes. The lab is distinctive in combining methods for building materials from the atomic and molecular level with the development of manufacturing processes designed from a larger-scale perspective. As a new lab, it welcomes visits from interested students.
Yamada Atsuo, Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Yamada-Kitada Lab studies materials for secondary batteries, which store and release electricity. The lab's research targets solid electrode materials and liquid electrolyte materials. The lab handles the whole process in one continuous flow, from synthesizing new materials to elucidating reaction mechanisms and verifying how they perform as batteries. Experimental and computational researchers work on equal footing in the lab, exchanging insights daily as they advance their research.
Toshio Mogi, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Mogi Lab studies disasters caused by combustion, such as fires and explosions. Drawing on combustion science and chemical fluid dynamics, the lab takes on a wide range of work, from clarifying how these phenomena occur to developing disaster prevention technologies and ways of thinking about safety. Few universities study fires and explosions through experiments, and this lab also conducts outdoor gas explosion experiments, among other work. The lab accepts individual visits from students who are considering joining for their undergraduate thesis research or graduate studies.
Kazuhiro Takanabe, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis2 student voices
The Takanabe-Obata-Kishimoto Lab studies catalysts that convert energy efficiently, as well as the mechanisms of their reactions. Its targets are reactions essential to a decarbonized society, such as hydrogen production, CO2 conversion, and ammonia synthesis. The lab works across catalytic reactions driven by heat, electricity, light, and microwaves, searching for the principles common to energy conversion. It treats everything as one connected whole, from understanding at the atomic level to the design of reactors and electrochemical cells (vessels in which reactions are driven by electricity).
Yasuyuki Sakai, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences2 student voices
The Sakai-Nishikawa Lab studies how to reassemble cells from organs and tissues into three-dimensional structures outside the body. The lab aims to use the tissues it creates for regenerative medicine and for evaluating the effects of drugs and chemicals without using animals. Inside the body, blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients, but it is a difficult challenge to supply substances throughout densely packed cells outside the body. The lab tackles this challenge with chemical system engineering methods that quantitatively treat mass flow, diffusion, and reaction.
Futoshi Kurisu, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Water Environment Control Lab addresses the question of how to control the urban water environment. The lab places importance on taking an integrated view of water use, the water environment, and stormwater management in relation to artificial water flows such as water supply and sewerage systems. Through environmental analysis and microbial analysis, the lab aims to understand water treatment technologies and improve them. The lab is run by two faculty members, Professor Kurisu and Associate Professor Kasuga, and its students mainly belong to the Urban Environmental Engineering course in the Department of Urban Engineering.
Minakuchi Shu, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech2 student voices
The Minakuchi Lab studies advanced composite materials, represented by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP). Building on mechanics of materials and centered on making materials intelligent, the lab aims to develop new material system technologies for creating next-generation aerospace structures. The lab works on optical fiber sensors embedded in materials, measurement and simulation of deformation during manufacturing, and the design of new fiber architectures that also draw on lessons from living organisms. Research is carried out in collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad.
Mitsuhiro Tsue, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Tsue-Nakaya Lab studies combustion phenomena in propulsion systems used in the aerospace field. Its scope ranges from internal combustion engines and environmentally compatible technologies to the use of the space environment and environmental science. The lab tackles heat and flow phenomena involving combustion and chemical reactions through both experiments and numerical analysis.
Himeno Takehiro, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace2 student voices
The Himeno Lab studies flow and heat phenomena that occur inside jet engines and rocket engines. Its subjects include jet engines in use today, future supersonic and hypersonic engines, gas turbines, and liquid rocket engines. Using a wide range of experiments, numerical analysis, and theoretical analysis, the lab investigates how flows become unstable and how flow relates to engine performance. The lab aims to apply the fundamental knowledge gained in this way to engine design.
