Yoshihiro Konno, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Konno Lab studies the sustainable development of seabed resources and the effective use of the seabed environment. The lab works on developing methane hydrate, which is expected to become a next-generation natural gas resource. It is also developing technology to store carbon dioxide by making use of the deep-sea seabed environment. Research is carried out through collaboration among industry, national research institutes, and universities.
Yasuhiro Kato, Professor
Environment & Sustainability0 student voices
The Kato-Nakamura-Yasukawa Lab studies Earth's resources, environment, and history. The lab discovered "rare-earth mud," deep-sea mud that contains abundant rare earth elements, and established that it exists in the waters around Minamitorishima Island. Faculty and students alike go on mine surveys and research cruises to collect rocks and minerals, and analyze them with their own hands. The lab aims to unravel how the Earth works and its history, and to use that knowledge to make society richer and more sustainable.
Shin Kajita, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Kajita Lab studies plasma with the aim of realizing nuclear fusion. Through experiments, the lab investigates how the plasma inside a fusion reactor acts on the materials of the reactor wall. The lab also works on developing methods for measuring plasma temperature and density. Applied research using metals and metal oxides whose surfaces have been processed with plasma is another of the lab's themes.
Hiroshi Okuda, Professor
Structures & Mechanics0 student voices
The Okuda-Matsunaga Lab conducts research in computational mechanics, using large-scale simulations on supercomputers to address challenges in manufacturing and society. The lab goes beyond computing physical phenomena. It develops simulators that also take society, people, and the global environment into account, so that scenarios for how artifacts function and are introduced can be reworked. The lab develops parallel finite element analysis software and studies fluid simulation using particle methods. The lab also conducts joint research with companies, aiming to develop technologies that are useful in industry.
Yukio Ohsawa, Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Ohsawa Lab studies how to design the whole of a business that uses data. Data is merely the result of observing events in the world from the surface, so the lab places importance on understanding the events, situations, and human behavior behind it. The lab has created methods of "chance discovery," which find from data the events and situations that matter when people decide how to act. Together with companies, the lab runs a Social Cooperation Program, and engages in research and education that develop the ability to put data to use in business.
Megumi Kaneko, Professor
Communications & Networks0 student voices
The Kaneko Lab studies technologies for next-generation wireless communication networks. Data volumes from IoT devices are expected to grow sharply, yet the radio frequencies available for use have already reached their limit. The lab aims to build wireless communication systems that use frequency and power without waste and reduce power consumption as much as possible. Group discussions are held in English, and there are opportunities for joint research with universities, research institutions, and companies overseas.
Imari Sato, Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
Sato Lab studies computer vision, in which computers understand the world around them from images. The lab proposes new physics-based models and develops algorithms that support scene understanding. The lab works on 3D analysis, reflectance analysis, hyperspectral imaging, computational photography, and generative AI. The lab is located at the National Institute of Informatics, and students in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Tokyo can be assigned to the lab and take part in its research.
Akiko Aizawa, Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Aizawa Lab studies text-centered content and media under the theme of "natural language processing technology that supports human intellectual activities." Building on machine learning, statistical analysis, and corpus analysis, the lab works on text mining and language understanding with artificial intelligence. The lab also conducts research that models how people use language, such as measuring how people read and write.
Ma Lei, Associate Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Ma Lab studies quality assurance for building trustworthy AI systems, in the area where software engineering and AI overlap. The lab works on testing, analysis, verification, interpretation, and attack and defense for software that incorporates machine learning.
Shinya Takamaeda, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
The Takamaeda Lab (CASYS) studies computer architecture, the field that deals with the structure and design techniques of computers. Its work includes application-specific hardware, in-memory computing, methods for co-designing machine learning and hardware, and compilers that support hardware design. The lab also researches software that makes computers easier to use, such as compilers and programming systems. Because of building renovation, the faculty offices and the lab have temporarily relocated (as of September 2026).
