Tetsuya Suekane, Professor
2 student voices
The Suekane Lab studies multiphase flow inside porous media such as rock. It works on interdisciplinary themes related to energy and the environment, including underground storage of carbon dioxide, a technology for mitigating global warming, and technologies for recovering crude oil efficiently. Using X-ray CT, the lab visualizes the inside of rock, which cannot be seen with light, down to the pore scale, and combines this with numerical analysis such as the lattice Boltzmann method. Students who understand fundamentals such as conservation of energy and continuity of fluids can get started easily, and students from many different fields can apply their own expertise in their research.
Tohru Yagi, Professor
1 student voices
The Yagi Lab studies biomedical engineering, particularly neural engineering, focusing on the human brain, nerves, vision, and biosignals. The lab aims to understand the mechanisms of the brain and vision and the principles of computation behind them, and to apply that knowledge to medical engineering such as rehabilitation and to biomimetic robots. Currently, the lab is developing "neural interfaces" that connect nerves directly to computers. The lab's motto is "Jishu-Jitoku" (learning and achieving through one's own initiative), and it expects students to take the initiative.
Satoshi Momozono, Project Professor
1 student voices
Momozono Lab studies tribology, the field that deals with friction, wear, and lubrication. At a collaborative research center established by NSK Ltd. on the Yokohama Campus, the lab works on rolling bearings. Young researchers from the company are stationed at the lab, so students can carry out their research in an environment with many people to consult. Opportunities to interact with labs at other universities are also arranged regularly, not only within the university.
Hiroshige Kikura, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kikura Lab studies measurement and diagnostic technologies to improve the safety of nuclear reactors. Targeting light water reactors, fast reactors, and future reactor types, the lab conducts research based on process control, measurement, and diagnostic technologies. It also works on building a "science of recovery" aimed at the reconstruction of areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster, and on developing remote measurement technologies that use robots.
Hiroki Nakanishi, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakanishi Lab studies new space systems that combine robotics and satellite technology. The lab works on technologies that assist astronauts or perform tasks in their place, as well as on-orbit servicing technologies for assembly, repair, and debris removal in space. The lab also conducts research on demonstrating robotics technologies in space using microsatellites. The lab is led by two faculty members: Professor Hiroki Nakanishi and Associate Professor Toshihiro Chujo.
Yoshifumi Nishida, Professor
1 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies 'Life-Centric Design,' which designs the lives of diverse people, including children and older adults, to be safe and easy to participate in. Using IoT and robotics, artificial intelligence, big data, and more, the lab aims to develop science and technology that takes constantly changing people and their lives as a given. The lab has an experimental room that simulates living environments, where it collects basic data by recreating the settings of partner nursery schools and home environments. The lab carries out its research in collaboration with research institutions, government bodies, on-site living labs, and local communities.
Masatoshi Kondo, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kondo Lab studies liquid metal technology and new energy systems that use it. The lab advances liquid metal research targeting fusion reactors, accelerator-driven subcritical reactors, seawater desalination, and environmental purification. The lab's research style is to build experimental apparatus in-house, conduct experiments, and evaluate the results with models. Students can join the lab through the graduate entrance exams of either the School of Engineering (Department of Mechanical Engineering) or the School of Environment and Society (Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering).
Ii Satoshi, Professor
1 student voices
The Ii Lab studies the mechanics behind biological phenomena, mainly those involving flow and transport, using numerical simulation. The lab aims to establish a new research approach that integrates numerical analysis with real data obtained from experiments and clinical measurements. Keywords are biomechanics, computational mechanics, cerebral circulation, multiscale phenomena (such as cell membranes and the cytoskeleton), data assimilation, and machine learning. Assistant Professor Hiro Wakimura studies high-resolution numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics and compressible gas-liquid two-phase flow. The lab was established in April 2024.
Satomi Kawamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawamoto Lab studies space debris countermeasures to protect the orbital environment around Earth. In addition to debris modeling, mitigation, and removal, the creation of international rules is also a subject of its research. The lab also works on space traffic management, space situational awareness, and new space systems such as large structures and tethers.
Chiaki Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato-Sekiguchi Lab studies problems of parts joined with adhesives (adhesive joints), based on mechanics of materials. Focusing on adhesion phenomena and the mechanics of adhesive joints, the lab aims to solve a wide range of manufacturing problems. Its work has included measuring the fracture resistance of adhesives, the effects of water entering bonded areas, and sealing technology for fuel cells. The lab is divided into Prof. Sato's group and Associate Professor Sekiguchi's group.
