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.
Tsutomu Iida, Professor
0 student voices
The Iida Lab works on developing energy conversion materials with a low environmental burden, as well as developing systems that use them. Its guiding theme is "energy conversion material development": materials that make the fullest possible use of the energy that is essential to human activity. The lab feels that climate change is already becoming apparent, and believes that improving energy and environmental problems requires research and development that looks years and even decades ahead. The research topics listed include CO2, climate change and energy; waste heat power generation technology; and space colony energy technology.
Taka-Aki Asoh, Professor
0 student voices
The Asoh Lab studies environmentally benign next-generation materials that function with low energy and a long lifetime. Using chemistry, the lab assembles polymer materials with new functions, such as soft actuators, self-healing materials, and joining of dissimilar materials. To bring out a material's function with little energy, the lab designs materials that respond to slight changes in temperature, pH, or strain. Another goal is to extend material lifetimes by giving them toughness and self-healing ability, thereby helping to reduce waste.
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.
