Osamu Sugino, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Sugino Lab conducts research in computational materials science, using numerical simulation to investigate the properties of materials. Its research field is first-principles calculation, which solves the Schrödinger equation to clarify the behavior of the electrons and atomic nuclei that make up matter. In this field, it is important to develop methods that solve quantum many-body systems of electrons and atomic nuclei efficiently and accurately, and to build models for simulating complex materials.
Hiroyuki Sekiya, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
Sekiya Lab studies the universe and elementary particles 1,000 m underground in the Kamioka mine in Hida, Gifu Prefecture. Its main research theme is the experimental study of neutrinos and dark matter, which fill the universe. Using Super-Kamiokande, upgraded by dissolving gadolinium in its water, the lab aims to detect neutrinos from past supernova explosions. The lab also pursues research with its own detectors, including searches for dark matter and work toward Hyper-Kamiokande.
Masanori Sato, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Sato Lab studies high-energy particle accelerators at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture. The lab belongs to the Interdisciplinary Science Division of the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science. This division is a concurrent-appointment division of the University of Tokyo graduate school, located at KEK. Using the 700-meter-long electron-positron linear accelerator and the SuperKEKB collider, the lab develops beam control and diagnostic systems and studies beam dynamics. The lab also develops hardware for keeping accelerators running stably, and works on technology development for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project.
Yuichi Wakamoto, Professor
Bio & Life Sciences0 student voices
The Wakamoto Lab studies the fundamental principles of biological phenomena such as growth, adaptation, evolution, and differentiation, using E. coli, yeast, and cancer cells as models. Organisms are diverse, but some traits and rules are shared across species. The lab explores the origins and significance of these commonalities through both experiments and theory. It focuses in particular on fluctuations, plasticity, and interactions observed at the single-cell level. To do this, the lab develops its own measurement technologies and advances its analyses alongside them.
Simeon John Hellerman, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
Hellerman Lab studies theoretical physics, especially string theory. The lab investigates how gravity behaves in situations where the structure of spacetime at very short distances becomes important, such as in the early universe. String theory is the only dynamical system that unifies gravity and the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, and the lab uses it as its main tool. The lab has also classified the various phases of string theory and the transitions between them, and has worked toward a unified understanding of all string theories.
Melia Thomas, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Melia Lab studies theoretical physics that explores the fundamental laws of the universe, centered on particle phenomenology. The lab aims to answer fundamental questions such as "Why are we here?" and "What laws make the universe what it is?" It collaborates with researchers in a wide range of fields, including quantum mechanics and field theory, general relativity and cosmology, and astroparticle physics. Beyond theory, the lab is also involved in satellite observations and the prototyping of new quantum sensors.
Mark Robert Vagins, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The VAGINS Lab studies new ways of observing neutrinos through experiments in astroparticle physics. The lab works both on improving the capabilities of existing detectors such as Super-Kamiokande and on designing and building future research facilities. One of its major goals is to detect, for the first time, the background neutrinos arriving from past supernova explosions. These neutrinos are expected to reveal the evolution of the universe, the average rate at which stars have been formed, and even the lifetime of the neutrino.
Kai Uwe Martens, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Martens Lab works in experimental physics, focusing on direct searches for dark matter and on neutrinos from astronomical sources. The lab participates in the XENON experiment at Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy and the Super-Kamiokande experiment in Kamioka, Gifu Prefecture. The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest open problems in experimental physics today. The lab is based at the Kamioka Observatory of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research.
Atsushi Takeda, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
Using neutrinos and dark matter as clues, the Takeda Lab studies how the universe was born and has evolved from the perspective of elementary particle physics. Neutrinos are elementary particles that are all around us yet hard to notice, while dark matter is an unidentified particle completely different from the ordinary matter we see every day. The lab is advancing the Hyper-Kamiokande project, a further evolution of Super-Kamiokande, and builds the detectors with its own hands. The lab also promotes a direct dark matter search experiment being carried out in Italy.
Masahiro Takada, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Takada Lab studies observational cosmology, in particular how the hierarchical structure of the universe has formed. The structure of the universe is thought to have formed as density fluctuations generated in the early universe grew, mainly through the gravity of dark matter. Dark energy and neutrinos also leave traces on the process of structure formation. The lab aims to clarify the properties of dark matter, dark energy, and neutrinos by precisely measuring data from large-scale galaxy surveys with the Subaru Telescope.
