Kazuya Yamaguchi, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis1 student voices
The Yamaguchi Lab conducts research on precisely designing and developing catalysts, which make chemical reactions proceed efficiently, at the molecular level. Solving problems of the environment, resources, and energy requires catalysts that raise the efficiency of manufacturing and energy conversion. The lab clarifies how the catalysts it creates work, and opens up new chemical reactions for environmentally friendly manufacturing. The lab also works on developing materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
Yoshiaki Nishibayashi, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis1 student voices
The Nishibayashi Lab uses catalyst technology to research how to create new energy resources. In particular, it develops catalysts for "nitrogen fixation," which produces ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen. Ammonia is expected to be a new energy resource that emits only water and nitrogen when used. This is an experimental chemistry lab where students "make molecules" by hand, and it provides instruction in experiments from scratch.
Takashi Uemura, Professor
Materials & Nanotech1 student voices
The Uemura Lab designs materials with nanosized spaces built from molecules, and studies the chemistry that makes use of those spaces. Its flagship materials are metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which are formed by combining metal ions and organic molecules and contain many small, regularly arranged pores. Inside these tiny pores, the lab is pioneering new methods to synthesize, align, and distinguish polymers. The lab aims to build a new kind of chemistry in which the information held by a space is read out in fine detail and transferred to matter.
Katsunori Fukui, Professor
Structures & Mechanics1 student voices
The Fukui-Hashiba Lab studies the development of the geosphere, including the ground surface and underground spaces. Many activities essential to human life, such as environmental conservation, waste disposal, and the development of resources and energy, are connected to geosphere development. Through in-situ tests, laboratory tests, and numerical analysis, the lab investigates the mechanical properties of crustal materials such as rock mass, as well as the interaction between development machinery and the ground. The lab also works on the development of seafloor hydrothermal deposits and the prediction of rock mass failure.
Kenji Shimazoe, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing1 student voices
The Shimazoe Lab studies new methods of diagnosis and treatment that use atoms and atomic nuclei, as well as radiation science that uses quantum technologies. Technologies that measure invisible radiation are essential to medicine, as in X-ray CT, which images structures inside the body, and PET, which visualizes how the body functions. The lab develops sensors that detect X-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, and muons with high precision, as well as circuits that process their signals. The lab is also researching the use of entangled photon pairs for measurement in medicine and life science.
Yukie Nagai, Associate Professor
Software & Computing1 student voices
Nagai Lab studies digital modeling, which recreates everyday objects and sensations on a computer. Digital modeling is a technology useful in many fields, including better product design, XR, medicine, and the natural sciences. Focusing mainly on 3D shapes, the lab pursues its research through three pillars: measurement technology for acquiring data, mathematical algorithms for processing it, and programming. Shape modeling, computational geometry, and computer graphics form its foundation.
Masaya Ishino, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Ishino Lab conducts experimental research in particle physics using the LHC, the world's highest-energy proton-proton collider. The lab takes part in the ATLAS experiment at CERN in Switzerland, artificially recreating conditions of the early universe inside the accelerator. By discovering new particles there and closely examining their properties, the lab aims to probe the physics underlying the Standard Model of particle physics. The lab also pursues applied research on electronics that process detector signals at high speed.
Shigetaka Moriyama, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The lab conducts experimental research in astroparticle physics. Astronomical observations have shown that most of the matter filling the universe is an unknown substance called dark matter. To uncover its true nature, the lab is working to directly capture the moment dark matter interacts in a detector in the laboratory. The lab also studies neutrinos and proton decay, and is building Hyper-Kamiokande.
Takuro Ideguchi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Ideguchi Lab studies new spectroscopy and imaging (microscopy) technologies that use ultrashort pulse lasers. The lab aims to deeply understand the physics of light and to create simple, elegant photonic and quantum technologies. The technologies it develops are applied to research in a wide range of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, and the lab also works to put them to practical use in society. The lab also places importance on training people who will be active internationally through research.
Sosuke Ito, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Ito Lab conducts theoretical physics research on systems far from equilibrium, such as living phenomena. At the boundary between nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and information theory, the lab investigates the connections between the thermodynamics of stochastic processes and information theory and information geometry. The lab is also interested in information processing in biological systems, and has studied signal transduction in E. coli from a thermodynamic perspective. Its research also covers artificial information processing such as machine learning, and the thermodynamics of macroscopic systems such as chemical reactions and fluids.
