Unregistered Unregistered, Professor
0 student voices
The Unregistered Lab uses polymer nanomaterials to study how to "measure" phenomena occurring inside cells and how to "control" cell functions. The lab puts forward a new research concept called "Materials-Initiated Biology," which opens up unexplored life science through the power of materials. It also works on mechanobiology, which examines the forces generated between materials and cells, and on the study of biological phase separation using nanomaterials.
Toshihiro Sera, Professor
0 student voices
The Sera Lab studies the phenomenon in which substances are carried and move within the body (biologistics). Organs and tissues work together, and various substances are transported and localized, which maintains homeostasis in the body. Using mechanical analysis, cell culture experiments, and imaging technology, the lab aims to understand this mechanism and contribute to medicine. Topics not covered in undergraduate education are learned through reading group sessions after students are assigned to the lab.
Hiroaki Hobara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hobara Lab (English name: Applied Biomechanics Laboratory) is a lab that works on biomechanics. Associate Professor Hiroaki Hobara, who leads the lab, lists biomechanics, prosthetic legs, rehabilitation, and para sports as research keywords. The research background includes the biomechanical characteristics of walking in people with lower-limb amputation, and motion analysis of para-athletes wearing sports prostheses. The lab belongs to the Department of Functional Design Engineering, Faculty of Advanced Engineering.
Eiichi Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab studies human movement and its underlying mechanisms in order to create robots, and their intelligence, that interact smoothly with people. Among robots, the lab places humanoids, an excellent tool for understanding humans, at the center of its research. The lab measures human movement to form hypotheses about its principles, tests them on humanoids, and then extends the work to understanding and predicting more complex behavior. Using both simulation in digital twins that reproduce the real world and experiments with robots, the lab aims to improve the understanding of humans and the intelligence of robots.
Shizuko Yamauchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamauchi Lab (Image Process Lab) studies the design and design theory of products and environments that support older adults and people with disabilities. In medical and welfare fields, the lab believes that comprehensive design is required, one that maximizes QOL rather than merely compensating for lost function. Taking life as a whole as its subject, the lab systematically conceives how technologies that support daily living relate to the environments surrounding them. Its areas of expertise are assistive devices, living spaces, and implementation science.
Kohei Soga, Professor
0 student voices
The Soga Lab studies how to use luminescent nanoparticles to visualize, with near-infrared light, phenomena occurring deep inside the body. This technology is called OTN-NIR fluorescence biomedical imaging, and the lab is publishing it as a new technology for the life sciences. The lab also works on a range of device applications, such as making transparent displays from nanoparticles. In addition, it studies boron icosahedral cluster solids, aiming at the future discovery of new thermoelectric and superconducting materials.
Yoshio Matsumoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumoto Lab (Robotics Lab) studies how to support people's lives using robot technology. In addition to developing useful robots, such as those that assist with daily activities and communication, the lab works on evaluation methods for demonstrating how the robots are useful. The lab aims to identify needs for robotic support in various fields, including medicine, nursing care, welfare, and education, and to design and realize the necessary functions by combining technologies such as mechanics (machinery), sensors (electrical and electronic engineering), and AI (information). The lab's website introduces life-support robots, dialogue robots, and care-support robots.
Masakazu Umezawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Umezawa Lab studies the design and application of nanomaterials that can be used in biomedicine and pharmaceutical sciences. It has become clear that the biomolecules that make up the body form nanoscale structures and show new behaviors, and the lab investigates the relationship between these structures and disease or health conditions. The lab's slogan is "Structure determines function," and it places importance on thinking about both materials and living organisms in terms of structure and function. The lab uses spectroscopic and computational methods to study changes in the structure of biopolymers.
Taketoshi Mori, Professor
0 student voices
The Mori Lab studies robotic caregiving (care robotics), nursing engineering, and healthcare AI. The lab is developing technologies that estimate a person's physical and cognitive functions from sensor data and support well-being by anticipating needs ahead of time. The lab's website states that, as medicine shifts from cure to care, it will realize healthcare support by integrating sensor, robotics, and AI technologies. The lab moved from the University of Tokyo in April 2023 and was established at the same time as the Department of Functional Design Engineering. It is one of the labs that make up the department's Intelligent Recognition field.
Unregistered Unregistered, Professor
0 student voices
The Unregistered Lab conducts research on solving medical challenges through design.
