Mitsuru Naito, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Naito Lab aims to develop drug delivery systems (nanomedicine) that support medicine, and new materials that help solve the plastic waste problem, through the design and synthesis of polymer materials. The lab develops polymers centered on polyamino acids, polymer materials that are gentle on living organisms and the natural world. Its work ranges from polymers used for diagnosing and treating disease to materials that degrade in the marine environment.
Kenichi Katsumata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Katsumata Lab studies inorganic materials, centered on glass and ceramics. The lab aims to further develop the beauty of glass and its optical, electronic, and mechanical functions, and to create materials that also help address issues of resources, the environment, and energy, as well as biotechnology and medicine. Its research themes are phosphor glass for LED lighting, glass composites combined with photocatalysts, and glass-ceramics that show magnetic heating or electrical conductivity. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Yasumori-Katsumata Lab."
Hirokazu Furue, Professor
0 student voices
The Furue Lab studies the physical properties and applications of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are introduced as a fourth state of matter that combines the properties of a liquid and a solid crystal, and as a field that still has many unknowns and is full of mysteries. Liquid crystal display technology spans a wide range of fields from organic chemistry to electrical and electronic engineering, and the lab works broadly from basic science to applied technology. The lab envisions using the liquid crystal state to create ultra-high-performance materials like those found in living organisms.
Masato Kotsugi, Professor
0 student voices
The Kotsugi Lab combines materials engineering and data science to study the creation of new materials, mainly magnetic materials and electronic device materials. The lab develops autonomous materials synthesis using robotic technology, analysis of material properties using quantum beams, and a theory of materials design that extends free energy. It takes on the creation of earth-friendly materials with high functionality made from common elements. The lab aims to realize the future of a green energy society.
Atsushi Kobayashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies the functional integration of thin-film materials through material design by crystal growth. The lab aims to create next-generation device materials by thinning materials with different functions, such as semiconductors, superconductors, and ferroelectrics, down to the nanoscale and joining them to one another. The lab works to improve the quality and functionality of thin-film materials that lead to the development of quantum computers, quantum information and communication, power electronics, and new types of semiconductors for AI computation. Thin films are made by sputtering.
Jun Koyanagi, Professor
0 student voices
The Koyanagi Lab studies, from a mechanics perspective, polymer-based composite materials used in aerospace that are strong for their weight. With the design of aircraft and spacecraft in mind, the lab evaluates the thermal and mechanical properties of composite materials and structures through both experiments and analysis. The lab also aims to improve material properties by creating new composite materials.
Yutaro Arai, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Arai Lab studies materials used in extreme environments such as atmospheric reentry and aerospace. Its research is presented under the themes of "protecting from heat," "withstanding heat," "lightweight and high strength," and "digital twins." Using the joint-use program for the arc-heated wind tunnel at JAXA's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, the lab also conducts experiments that expose fabricated specimens to high-temperature, dynamic-pressure environments. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Yasuhide Mochizuki, Lecturer
0 student voices
Mochizuki Lab works on developing materials based on computational materials science and on elucidating the mechanisms behind their properties. Developing materials with excellent functions without using expensive rare metals or toxic elements harmful to the human body is regarded as an important research challenge in resource-poor Japan. Using first-principles calculations that employ no empirical parameters at all, the lab designs materials inside a computer and takes on the search for new materials that could play a leading role in the next generation. The research fields listed include phonons, symmetry, negative thermal expansion materials, ferroelectrics, and surfaces.
Ryuji Tamura, Professor
0 student voices
Tamura Lab studies quasicrystals and approximant crystals, permanent magnets, metallic glasses, and metal catalyst materials. On the lab's website, it calls on people to start from the elements and make entirely new materials with their own hands. For quasicrystals and approximant crystals, the lab is developing new substances and exploring the phenomena and physical properties that appear in them. For its experiments, the lab uses not only its own measurement equipment but also the joint-use facilities of the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) at the University of Tokyo and overseas synchrotron radiation facilities.
Keishi Nishio, Professor
0 student voices
Nishio Lab studies materials used for sensors, thermoelectric power generation, control of thermal expansion, and porous materials. The lab holds that a substance becomes a "material" the moment people think of using it for something, and it bases the fundamentals of materials research on making "things." Using synthesis methods such as the sol-gel method and spark plasma sintering, the lab produces metal oxide ceramics and thin films. The information on the lab's website dates from around 2020.
