SANHUEZA Patricio, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Sanhueza Lab studies how massive stars, which are far heavier than the Sun, are born. Massive stars end their lives in supernova explosions that scatter heavy elements throughout the universe. Using radio interferometers such as ALMA and the VLA as its main tools, the lab observes clumps of gas at the stage before stars form. In an international team, the lab investigates everything from the role of magnetic fields and how binary stars form to the mechanisms that determine stellar mass.
Shigeyuki Sako, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
Sako Lab studies optical and infrared time-domain astronomy, tracking celestial objects whose appearance changes over short timescales. Phenomena that change on timescales of seconds have so far been poorly explored, and the targets include meteors, small bodies, and sudden explosive events. The lab continuously images the sky with instruments such as Tomo-e Gozen, a wide-field video camera mounted on the Kiso Schmidt Telescope. A distinguishing feature of the group is that it develops the observation instruments and detectors themselves.
Tomonori Totani, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Totani Lab studies the origin of the universe and the astronomical phenomena that take place within it from a theoretical perspective. Its subjects are broad: cosmology, the formation and evolution of galaxies, and explosive objects such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. Rather than pursuing pure theory, the lab interprets the puzzles posed by the latest observational data through theory and models. The lab works on the belief that science advances only when theory and observation mesh like the two wheels of a cart.
Nobunari Kashikawa, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
The Kashikawa Lab mainly uses the Subaru Telescope to conduct observational studies of distant objects and the early universe. Key topics include distant galaxies, first-generation galaxies, first-generation black holes, and protoclusters. The lab traces the period from the dark ages, when the universe was filled with neutral hydrogen, to the era when the first objects began ionizing the surrounding space. The lab also investigates young structures before they grow into galaxy clusters, as well as the relationship between invisible dark matter and ordinary matter.
Shouhei Honda, Professor
1 student voices
The Honda Lab studies geometric analysis related to Ricci curvature, as well as collapsing theory. Geometric analysis is a field that studies the shapes of figures and spaces using tools from differential equations and analysis. From the perspective of convergence and collapsing theory for manifolds, the lab deals not only with Riemannian manifolds but also with more singular spaces.
Satoko Arai, Professor
Food & Agriculture1 student voices
The Food Chemistry Lab studies how the food environment affects the mechanisms of immunity and homeostasis. The modern food environment, in which overnutrition and processed foods are commonplace, is a new environment for our bodies, which took shape over a long course of evolution. The lab investigates, from the molecular level to the whole organism, the molecular changes that food causes in the body, the immune responses to them, and their effects on organs throughout the body and on the brain. The lab has a long history and has just started under a new professor with a new structure.
Yoshihiro Ohmori, Associate Professor
Food & Agriculture1 student voices
The Ohmori Lab studies how to confer the resilience of wild rice on cultivated rice. Chemical fertilizers have greatly increased humanity's food productivity, but their heavy use causes groundwater pollution, eutrophication of marine waters, and global warming. In nature, wild rice, which refers to relatives of rice that have not been domesticated, survives in harsh environments. Using an approach called multi-omics analysis, the lab investigates this strength and develops rice that grows well with less fertilizer and rice that is tolerant of temperature and light stress.
Shuji Ishihara, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences1 student voices
The Ishihara Lab studies self-organization phenomena in living systems. The lab is interested in how cells emerge from collections of molecules, and how tissues and whole organisms emerge from collections of cells. It combines nonlinear and nonequilibrium physics and soft matter physics with data analysis based on mathematical statistics and machine learning. The lab also values finding mathematically and physically interesting themes starting from the phenomena themselves.
Takeru Suzuki, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace1 student voices
Suzuki Lab studies astrophysical phenomena involving astrophysical fluids, space plasmas, and cosmic magnetic fields. It investigates the underlying mechanisms with theoretical approaches, including large-scale numerical simulations. The targets include every kind of object that has magnetized fluids or plasma, from the Sun and stars to compact objects, galaxies, protoplanetary disks, and planets. Rather than limiting itself to particular objects, the lab has pursued its research with the aim of understanding the physical processes common to various astrophysical fluids.
Yuki Shiomi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Shiomi Lab conducts experimental research in condensed matter physics, with topology, magnetism, and spintronics as its main keywords. The lab develops quantum materials centered on magnetic materials (magnets) and measures their physical properties. It combines the synthesis of inorganic materials, measurements of physical properties under magnetic fields at room and low temperatures, and numerical calculations such as band structure calculations. The lab aims for results that bridge basic and applied research, from the discovery of unknown quantum phenomena to the development of material functions using magnetic materials.
