Koji Nagata, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences2 student voices
The Food Biostructure Lab "visualizes" the shapes and motions of biomolecules to study how molecules sustain life. The lab aims to clarify, at the atomic level, how components in food work inside the body. Using X-ray crystallography and NMR, the lab investigates the three-dimensional structures of proteins and how they bind to other molecules. The lab is also developing methods that use NMR to analyze the components of food all at once.

The Biochemistry Lab studies how the "chemical senses" work, including smell, pheromone detection, and taste. Many organisms rely on information from odors and pheromones to tell food apart and to recognize others of their species. Combining the concepts and techniques of molecular biology, neuroscience, and biochemistry, the lab investigates the pathway from receptors to the brain at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels. The lab aims to understand how organisms receive external signals, and how those signals drive behavior and instinct.

The Plant Pathology Lab studies, at the molecular level, how plants become diseased. Plants are infected by fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and other pathogens, which cause disease. The lab investigates why plants get sick, why certain pathogens infect only specific plants, and how resistant plants defend themselves. The lab also aims to establish technologies to control pathogen infection, parasitism, and symbiosis, and to develop new technologies that strengthen resistance to disease.
Hiroshi Ikeda, Professor
Environment & Sustainability2 student voices
The Forest Zoology Lab studies the ecology and evolution of animals living in forests and in forest-related environments. The lab works with insects and soil fauna, using field surveys and experiments as well as laboratory experiments and analyses. Its scope is broad, covering evolution and adaptation, interactions among organisms, communities, and links to ecosystems and human activities. In graduate school, students choose their own research topics, make plans, and carry out their research.
Makoto Takamiya, Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices2 student voices
The Takamiya Lab researches power delivery technologies built around LSI design. Electronics is finding uses in more places, from IoT and wearables to devices implanted in the body, moving from objects to the surface of the body and then inside it. The key to making this possible is the technology for how to deliver power. The lab handles a wide range of power levels, from nW in IoT to kW in power electronics, and explores new solutions by combining insights from different fields.
ドロネー ジャン・ジャック, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing2 student voices
The lab fabricates micro- and nanometer-scale structures and uses them in energy conversion and optical devices. By advancing microfabrication technology, it designs and creates structures that interact strongly with their surrounding environment. For example, efficiently adsorbing water molecules from the air onto a material with fine pores can be used for cooling. The strong interaction between metal structures and light can be used in highly sensitive sensors for medical and biological applications, and in ultrafast switches for optical communications.
Lui Yoshida, Associate Professor
Software & Computing2 student voices
The Yoshida Lab combines insights from education with technologies such as generative AI to study "systems" that create enjoyable, deep learning. Here, a "system" means not only a program but the whole mechanism of learning: who is taught, by what method, what is evaluated, and how it is improved. In addition to developing systems that support learning, the lab also creates educational programs and teaching approaches. The lab places importance on having people actually use what it creates, evaluating it, and applying the results to the next improvement.
Chika Takatori, Associate Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban2 student voices
The lab studies spatial planning and management centered on urban green space. The lab develops green infrastructure plans as adaptation measures to sea level rise, extreme weather, and natural disasters caused by climate change. As the population declines, the lab also examines how to sustain green space from the perspectives of institutions and costs. The lab also works on public space management so that older adults, children, and people with disabilities can use green space equitably.
Eiji Hato, Professor
Civil Engineering, Architecture & Urban2 student voices
The Transportation, Urban and Land Studies Lab studies cities and transportation in fields such as transportation planning, urban planning, urban formation history, and urban design. The lab conducts fundamental research based on behavioral observation, mathematical methods, and analysis of historical records, targeting cities at various scales, such as streets and plazas, and stations and their surrounding towns. It aims to connect the results to the planning and design of actual urban spaces and to the implementation of traffic control systems and urban simulation. The lab places importance on its start-up lab seminar, where newly joined students learn programming and basic transportation theory, and on its lab seminar for reading papers together in turn.
Fukao Takanori, Professor
Robotics & Control2 student voices
The Fukao-Nishio Lab studies field robotics, aiming to realize robots that work autonomously outdoors. Combining AI and robotics, the lab tackles head-on the uncertainty and difficulty of real environments. Its research targets include autonomous driving on narrow, rough roads, robots that automate work on vegetables and fruit trees, and drones that can work in harsh environments. Emphasizing field testing and implementation, the lab moves back and forth between theory and practice, aiming for early deployment in society.
