Takumi Asakura, Professor
1 student voices
The Asakura Lab studies the phenomena of sound and vibration based on mechanical engineering. The lab develops simulations that predict vibration and sound occurring at scales ranging from cities to fine structures, along with control technologies to suppress them. Because vibration and sound are closely related, the lab investigates techniques for calculating the vibration and sound of structures together, and methods for suppressing both efficiently. The lab also conducts research that incorporates human factors engineering, namely how people perceive and feel vibration and sound, and carries out joint research with outside research institutions.
Hideyuki Taguchi, Professor
1 student voices
Taguchi Lab conducts research aimed at realizing spaceplanes that can travel from an airport to space, and hypersonic passenger aircraft that cross the Pacific in two hours. The research focuses on the shape of vehicles that fly at high speed through the atmosphere, and on hypersonic engines capable of high-speed flight. In collaboration with universities, research institutions, and companies in Japan and abroad, the lab is demonstrating the technologies needed for practical use through flight experiments with small experimental vehicles, engine tests, and more. Prof. Taguchi joined the lab in April 2026, after working on the research and development of hypersonic engines at organizations including the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
Hiroshi Takemura, Professor
1 student voices
Takemura Lab (Biomechanics Lab) studies the measurement and modeling of human movement, centered on robotics and biomechanics. Together with external medical institutions and others, the lab also carries out research and development of medical and welfare devices. The lab collaborates actively with external research institutions, and some projects involve students going to those institutions to contribute to the research there.
Ryuichi Nishihama, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishihama Lab studies the mechanisms of growth and development shared by land plants. Because plants use the products of photosynthesis for their own growth, they have evolved ways of regulating growth that make good use of photosynthesis. Land plants evolved from a single common ancestor, so they share a set of genes and the mechanisms that regulate their functions. Mainly using the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, a bryophyte and a model organism, the lab uses genetic modification techniques and omics analysis to uncover how growth is regulated in coordination with photosynthesis.
Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, Professor
1 student voices
The Tsukamoto Lab studies soil mechanics, the branch of geotechnical engineering that deals with the mechanical properties of soil. In the Great East Japan Earthquake, sandy ground liquefied over a wide area of the Kanto region, causing major damage to infrastructure structures, lifelines, and detached houses. Through laboratory tests and field surveys, the lab investigates how water-saturated sandy ground comes to liquefy during an earthquake and how the ground flows.
Tadao Enomoto, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Enomoto Lab studies ground disasters from the perspective of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. The structures that support society are built on or in the ground, and Japan is a country with many ground disasters, such as liquefaction during earthquakes, slope failures caused by heavy rain, and subsidence of reclaimed land. The lab conducts surveys and observations at disaster sites, performs soil tests on collected soil, and carries out model experiments that reproduce the field conditions. By interpreting the resulting data, the lab clarifies the mechanisms of ground disasters and links this to the development of technologies that reduce the damage from disasters.
Yasuo Nakayama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakayama Lab studies the electronic properties of organic semiconductors and the properties of epitaxial interfaces of organic semiconductors. Its key research topics are electronic structure, photoelectron spectroscopy, and surface science. The lab also works on demonstrating delocalized Frenkel excitons in single-crystal organic semiconductors that exhibit band-like conduction, and on clarifying their properties. Assistant Professor Hattori studies new molecular transformations of organophosphorus compounds.
Yasushi Idemoto, Professor
0 student voices
Built on electrochemistry and solid-state physical chemistry, the Idemoto-Kitamura Lab studies the development of materials for energy applications and new materials. Focusing on highly functional oxides (inorganic materials), the lab uses experiments and computational theoretical analysis to elucidate the essential nature of materials and works on creating new materials. Specific targets include electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries and next-generation magnesium secondary batteries, electrolyte materials for fuel cells and all-solid-state lithium batteries, and ferroelectric oxides. Since April 2014, the lab has been called the Idemoto-Kitamura Lab.
Masayuki Itagaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Itagaki-Shitanda Lab specializes in electroanalytical chemistry and studies batteries, sensors, metal corrosion, and related topics. Professor Itagaki aims to establish electrochemical analysis methods based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Associate Professor Shitanda conducts research on biodevices and printed sensors, and Lecturer Watanabe develops next-generation secondary batteries. The lab is described as having a homelike atmosphere, with no barrier between senior and junior students.
Norio Sakai, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakai Lab conducts research in synthetic organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. Its research fields are organic chemistry (organometallic chemistry) and synthetic chemistry (synthetic organic chemistry). The faculty members are Professor Norio Sakai and Assistant Professor Kento Ishida.
