Ryohei Kobayashi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies, through theory, quantum many-body systems (the quantum states formed by large numbers of particles) and the foundations of error correction for quantum computers. In particular, the lab takes “symmetry” as its guiding principle and aims to systematically understand the fundamental properties of quantum many-body systems and error-correcting codes. Its themes are broadly connected, ranging from abstract theory such as symmetry and field theory to lattice models, quantum error-correcting codes, and quantum computation.
Kazuaki Takasan, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Takasan Lab studies how to understand and control nonequilibrium phases of matter that arise in quantum many-body systems. The lab belongs to the field of condensed matter theory and computational physics in the Department of Applied Physics. The lab sees the real appeal of research in using ideas as a weapon to open up new worlds that no one has yet seen. The lab wants to share the joy of studying and doing physics with its students.
Ryutaro Yoshimi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Yoshimi Lab fabricates thin films of solid-state materials, as well as interfaces between stacked dissimilar materials, and studies their properties. It focuses in particular on "topological" properties that arise from the symmetry of the band structure and magnetic structure. Using a method called molecular beam epitaxy, the lab arranges atoms in an ordered fashion on a substrate to grow high-quality crystals with few defects. Newly established in the Department of Advanced Materials Science, the lab accepts undergraduate thesis students from the Department of Applied Physics in the Faculty of Engineering.
Shinichi Nishihaya, Lecturer
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Nishihaya Lab uses advanced crystal growth techniques to control the structure and symmetry of materials, and studies the new electronic properties that result. Using thin films whose thickness is controlled at the atomic level, and "membranes" made by peeling those films off their substrates, the lab changes material properties through stacking and fine nanofabrication. Through precise electrical measurements and other methods, the lab aims to uncover phenomena where topology and quantum effects intersect, and to connect them to device functionality. The lab is newly established at the Quantum-Phase Electronics Center, which is affiliated with the Graduate School of Engineering.
Hiroaki Takehara, Associate Professor
Medicine & Healthcare0 student voices
Takehara Lab conceives original devices and systems starting from the materials level, with the aim of creating future medical devices that work safely inside the body. Implantable biodevices are expected to be a next-generation medical technology, but for devices used inside the body, guaranteeing safety is critically important. The lab works on the materials for devices that achieve both functionality and safety, and on the processes used to fabricate them (process technology). This is a newly established lab. It is recruiting graduate students and accepts lab visits at any time.
Yuki Tokumoto, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Tokumoto Lab studies the relationship between the rules governing atomic arrangement in solids (structural order) and the properties of materials. Atomic arrangements can show periodicity, in which the same pattern repeats, or quasiperiodicity, in which the pattern never repeats yet remains ordered. Targeting metals, semimetals, and semiconductors, the lab investigates properties such as how electricity flows and how heat is conducted. The research centers on quasicrystals and van der Waals layered materials.
Taka Narumi, Lecturer
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The lab studies the mechanisms of solidification and crystal growth when liquids such as molten metals (melts) solidify. In casting, defects such as cracks can form while the metal is solidifying. The lab aims to clarify how these defects arise and to develop microstructure control methods that prevent them. Using synchrotron radiation, a type of intense X-ray, the lab directly observes metals as they solidify, following the process over time. The lab publishes videos related to solidification, including X-ray imaging, on YouTube.
Tomoko Sugano, Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
The Sugano Lab studies the relationship between cutting-edge research and intellectual property. Intellectual property such as patents is a key to turning technologies and ideas into forms that society can use (social implementation). The lab brings an intellectual property perspective into research settings and considers how intellectual property should be protected so that cutting-edge technologies can be implemented in society. The lab sees intellectual property as something that connects people and creates new knowledge, and it also works on building industry-academia collaboration and co-creation spaces based on intellectual property.
Tomoki Machida, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Machida Lab studies the properties of structures made by stacking two-dimensional materials such as graphene, and their application to devices. Two-dimensional materials are the ultimate in thinness, with a thickness of just a single layer of atoms. When different types of atomic layers are stacked with even the stacking angle (the twist angle) controlled, the possible combinations are endless, and surprising properties can sometimes emerge. Building on its original stacking technology, the lab explores new phenomena by stacking, twisting, and bending atomic layers, with the aim of leading to next-generation quantum electronics.
Teruyasu Mizoguchi, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Mizoguchi Lab clarifies the relationship between the atomic arrangement and electronic states of materials and their functions (structure–function relationships), and studies methods for designing materials. The lab combines artificial intelligence (AI), computer simulation, and atomic-level measurement in its research. The lab aims to realize "Designed Materials," in which materials with a target function are created deliberately. All students join from other universities or labs when they begin graduate school, and they take on presenting at academic conferences and writing papers.
