Yoshihide Yoshimoto, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Yoshimoto Lab studies fields at the boundary between computational science and computer science, centered on first-principles electronic structure calculation. Computational science has grown alongside the development of computers as a new scientific method, following experiment and theory. Today, as the way computers work has become more complex, computational science and computer science need to work together. The lab aims to provide education and research that help foster exchange between these two fields.
Takahiro Shinagawa, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
The Shinagawa Lab studies system software, centered on operating systems (OS) and virtualization software. System software holds special privileges that allow it to control the entire computer, and it greatly affects the performance and security of the whole system. Through new system abstractions, the lab aims to improve the security and performance of today's computers. Because Building 7 of the Faculty of Science is under renovation, the lab has temporarily moved to Building 8 of the Faculty of Engineering (faculty offices) and Building 12 of the Faculty of Engineering (student rooms), as of September 2026.
Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
The Kawarabayashi Lab conducts research centered on algorithms and discrete mathematics. Rather than aiming for applications from the start, the lab focuses on fundamental and theoretical research. In algorithms research, the lab works on everything from improving computational complexity and theoretically analyzing correctness to developing techniques that make implementations fast. In discrete mathematics research, the lab explores mathematically deep theory while also developing techniques that can be used in other fields, such as algorithms.
Yusuke Miyao, Professor
AI & Machine Learning0 student voices
The Miyao Lab studies how to enable computers to understand the language that people use every day (natural language). To do so, it is necessary to clarify the mechanisms by which natural language and human thought operate. The lab studies fundamental natural language analysis techniques and mathematical models, including syntactic parsing, semantic analysis, and grounding. The lab's strength lies in research that draws on linguistics, such as syntax and formal semantics, and on computer science, such as formal grammar and machine learning.
Takeo Igarashi, Professor
Software & Computing0 student voices
The Igarashi Lab researches user interfaces that make computers easier to use. The lab also works on CAD and computer graphics research, with a focus on shape modeling. Its goal is to enable people without specialized training to create 3D models, animations, and physical objects such as clothing and furniture.
Akinao Nose, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Nose Lab studies what kinds of circuits the brain and nervous system use to process information. The brain and nervous system form a complex circuit in which large numbers of neurons are connected through synapses. Using the relatively simple nervous system of the Drosophila larva, the lab investigates both the wiring between neurons and their patterns of activity. The goal is to understand the brain by identifying the basic circuits that serve as its functional units and modeling them.
Akira Ejiri, Professor
Energy & Batteries0 student voices
The Ejiri-Tsujii Lab studies the physics of high-temperature plasmas to realize fusion energy. The lab conducts experiments using a spherical tokamak device called TST-2, located at the Kashiwa Campus. Its work includes plasma heating and current drive using waves, turbulence and instabilities, and the development of plasma diagnostics. The lab aims to realize a compact spherical tokamak reactor that anyone can use anywhere.
Kazumasa A Takeuchi, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Takeuchi Lab conducts experiments to reveal the laws of statistical physics that arise from nonequilibrium phenomena. It uses soft matter such as liquid crystals, granular materials, and colloids, as well as living organisms such as bacteria, as experimental materials. The aim is not only to understand individual phenomena but also to extract physical laws that are common to them, independent of the specific phenomenon. The lab's research spans nonequilibrium critical phenomena, active matter, and populations of microorganisms, and lab visits are welcome.
Masahito Ueda, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Ueda Lab conducts theoretical physics research on ultracold atomic gases, quantum information, and quantum measurement. Atomic gases cooled to extremely low temperatures by methods such as laser cooling are artificial quantum matter in which even the strength of the interactions between atoms can be freely tuned. Using them, the lab explores universal laws common to a wide range of physical phenomena, such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity. The lab also works on information thermodynamics, which asks about the limits of the information and work that can be extracted from quantum systems.
Jun'Ichi Yokoyama, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Yokoyama Lab carries out theoretical research in cosmology, focusing on the early universe, the period right after the universe began. It mainly deals with particle-physics and relativistic cosmology, and with how the structure of the universe has evolved. The lab draws on both fundamental theories such as quantum field theory and general relativity, and observational data such as the cosmic microwave background. It also conducts fundamental research in related areas, such as gravitational theory and non-equilibrium quantum field theory, as needed.
