Shigeru Okada, Professor
Chemistry & Catalysis2 student voices
The Aquatic Natural Products Chemistry Lab conducts research to make effective use of the low-molecular-weight compounds produced by organisms living in water. Compounds found only in certain organisms are called secondary metabolites, and many of them, such as penicillin, are used as pharmaceuticals. The lab works on searching for useful compounds from marine organisms, and on using hydrocarbon-producing algae as an energy source. Using chemistry as its means, the lab aims to uncover the unique biological phenomena of aquatic organisms.
Timothée Mouterde, Associate Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Mouterde Lab experimentally studies physical phenomena that occur at the interface between solids and liquids. The lab investigates how the behavior of liquids can be controlled by changing the properties of the interface. By combining fine surface structures with chemical properties, the lab works on controlling water droplets, which leads to waterproofing, anti-fogging, and anti-frost technologies. The lab also studies the new properties shown by liquids and ions confined in channels as narrow as a molecule.
Yosuke Hasegawa, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab combines knowledge of fluid mechanics and optimal control to study how to control and predict heat and flow phenomena. Normally, you decide a shape first and then calculate its performance, but the lab uses "inverse analysis," which works backward from the desired performance to find the optimal shape. This finds the optimal shape far more efficiently than comparing many prototypes. The lab also studies how to estimate flow conditions and the sources of pollutants from measurements taken by environmental sensors.
Gentiane Venture, Professor
Robotics & Control2 student voices
GV Lab (Venture Lab) researches robotics for a sustainable and inclusive society. The lab analyzes human movement based on the forces received from the ground, and works to uncover the mechanisms behind movement, balance, and expressiveness. It also develops control mechanisms that allow robots to behave flexibly according to their surroundings and their distance from people. The lab values interdisciplinary research that draws on insights from the social sciences and philosophy to consider the impact of robots on society.
Yamasaki Yudai, Professor
Energy & Batteries2 student voices
The Yamasaki-Nagai Lab studies combustion, control, and optimization in automotive powertrains and distributed energy systems. The lab also works on control that suppresses the vibration of electric vehicles to improve ride comfort, as well as control of drones and flying cars. By applying AI techniques to complex phenomena and systems, the lab aims to build systems that also take each driver's individual characteristics into account. The lab is also active in joint research with automakers, industry associations, and gas companies.
Shinichi Warisawa, Professor
Medicine & Healthcare2 student voices
The Human Environment Informatics Lab researches advanced technologies that support people's health, safety, and peace of mind. The lab develops small sensors that can be built into wearable devices, as well as robot systems that watch over people and their surroundings. It also works on technologies for measuring information from the body, monitoring people's behavior and condition, and extending human senses. The lab aims to build systems that blend unobtrusively into daily life and work settings, collecting and analyzing data about people and their environments.
Shu Takagi, Professor
Fluids & Heat2 student voices
The Fluid Engineering Lab studies fluids such as air and water, as well as multiphase flows, in which these fluids are mixed together. From environment and energy to bio and medical fields, the lab approaches a wide range of mechanics problems from the perspective of fluid mechanics. Using theory, experiments, numerical simulation, and machine learning, the lab explores how to utilize and control flows and how to prevent their harmful effects. To collect data on large, complex systems, the lab also develops new measurement and prediction techniques.
Satoshi Izumi, Professor
Structures & Mechanics2 student voices
The Izumi-Hatano-Sakakima Lab studies problems of strength and fracture resistance (strength and reliability) in materials and components through simulation. Its targets span a wide range of fields, including semiconductors, railways, electrical equipment, space, and medicine, and the lab works jointly with research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad. The lab uses multiscale simulation that connects the atomic scale to large structures. Its themes include devices made from SiC, a next-generation semiconductor material, as well as bolts, wire ropes, and cardiac muscle cells.
Takeshi Morita, Professor
Imaging & Sensing2 student voices
The Acoustic Creation Engineering Lab studies ultrasonic devices and their applications. Many ultrasonic phenomena remain unexplained. The lab conducts a wide range of research, from fundamental technologies such as proposing original ultrasonic transducers to applied research based on new ideas, with the aim of solving social challenges. Its work includes motor control, surgical support robots, and the effects of ultrasound on cells.
Toshihiko Yamasaki, Professor
AI & Machine Learning2 student voices
The Yamasaki Lab conducts research on artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning. The lab works with many kinds of data, including images, video, audio, natural language, metadata, and graphs. It covers a wide range of work from fundamentals to applications in the fields of pattern recognition and multimedia. The lab has many joint research projects with companies, universities, and research institutes in Japan and abroad, and it also puts effort into making its research results usable in society.
