Long Yin, Associate Professor
Economics & Social Systems0 student voices
Long Lab studies sustainability in everyday life. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to topics such as medicine and health, food, mobility, CO2 emissions from household consumption, and urban livability. The lab combines environmental systems analysis, big data, map-based spatial analysis, and quantitative methods that inform policy.
Koji Terashi, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
Terashi Lab works on quantum information research using quantum computers and on its applications to particle physics. In addition to quantum algorithms such as quantum machine learning and quantum simulation, the lab studies implementation techniques for real quantum hardware and quantum error correction. The lab also uses superconducting qubits as quantum sensors to search for dark matter. By building a foundation for applying quantum technologies to particle physics, astrophysics, and gravity, the lab explores new approaches to fundamental physics.
Masashi Tokunaga, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Tokunaga Lab studies the properties of materials using pulsed high magnetic fields of up to 60 tesla. Because a magnetic field acts directly on the spin and orbital motion of electrons, the lab explores new quantum states that emerge in strong magnetic fields, as well as phenomena induced by the field. To grasp the essence of these phenomena, the lab develops measurement techniques that capture changes in magnetism, electrical conduction, and other properties instantaneously as they occur in a pulsed magnetic field. The lab investigates materials such as multiferroic materials and topological semimetals, and carries out many collaborations with researchers in Japan and abroad.
Hiroshi Noguchi, Associate Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Noguchi Lab studies soft matter and biophysics through theory and computer simulation. Soft matter includes polymers, surfactants, colloids, and liquid crystals, which are soft materials that change shape greatly under small forces. The lab mainly investigates the structure formation of biological membranes and cells, complex fluids that flow differently from ordinary fluids, and the motion of active matter. The lab also develops and improves the simulation methods needed for this research.
Munehito Arai, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Arai Lab conducts experimental and theoretical research to design new proteins that are useful for medicine and industry. Using state-of-the-art protein design methods, the lab aims to develop drugs that target diseases such as viral infections, cancer, and allergies. The lab also works on developing enzymes that efficiently produce biofuels and other products, and on basic research into the mechanisms of protein folding. Combining life sciences, physics, and information science, the lab advances its research from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
Hideyuki Tagoshi, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The gravitational wave group at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research aims at the direct observation of gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. For many years, the lab has developed techniques for measuring extremely small changes in length with laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors. With KAGRA, the large gravitational wave detector that resulted from this work, the lab aims to detect gravitational waves as part of an international observation network.
Murakawa Satoshi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Murakawa Lab studies superfluidity in helium at ultralow temperatures and the new phenomena that arise in it. Helium is the lightest noble gas; even at absolute zero it does not solidify, remaining a liquid that shows strong quantum behavior. When liquid helium is cooled, it enters a state called superfluidity, in which it flows without friction. In particular, the lab aims to clarify the properties of Majorana states that appear on the surface of superfluid helium-3.
Hitoshi Murayama, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Murayama Lab studies theoretical physics, particularly particle theory and the origin of the universe. The lab works on a wide range of topics, including particle physics beyond the Standard Model, quantum field theory, dark matter and dark energy, inflationary cosmology, and neutrino physics. Recently, the lab has also been conducting research in condensed matter physics and leading SuMIRe, an astronomy collaboration.
Sato Taku J, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Sato Lab studies how spins move within a variety of quantum materials. Its main subjects include exotic superconductors, quantum spin systems, and magnetic quasicrystals. The lab's main method for investigating the arrangement and motion of spins is neutron scattering, and it also develops new neutron scattering techniques. The lab encourages members to make the samples used in their research themselves, using the lab's melting furnaces and other equipment.
Yuji Sugita, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Sugita Lab studies the mechanisms of biological phenomena using theoretical and computational science that combines physics, chemistry, and information science. Its goal is to clarify how proteins and nucleic acids move and function at scales from molecules to cells. The lab develops new methods that combine theoretical chemistry, such as quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics, with information science approaches such as machine learning and Bayesian statistics. The methods it develops are incorporated into the molecular dynamics software GENESIS, which is released as free software.
