Atsushi Hirata, Professor
0 student voices
The Hirata-Aono Lab conducts research on enhancing the functions of material surfaces, in the fields of mechanical materials and materials processing. Surfaces are required to have many functions, such as strength, lubricity, and resistance to heat and chemical change. Making use of nanoscale phenomena, the lab works on synthesizing nano-carbon materials, fabricating thin films, and laser processing. The lab covers a wide range of themes, from fundamental research to development-oriented research.
Takashi Sasabe, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Sasabe Lab studies how to use clean energy with high efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It investigates what happens inside electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and lithium-ion secondary batteries. Using X-ray visualization measurement and numerical thermofluid analysis, the lab tracks transport phenomena occurring at the nano- and micro-scale. Its themes span many areas, from next-generation lithium-ion batteries to geological sequestration of carbon dioxide.
Yukio Takeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Takeda-Sugahara Lab studies design technology for machines that move, such as robots and assistive devices. Its research fields include mechanical systems design, robotics, mechanism theory, and assistive devices. The lab develops methods for designing and developing new robots and assistive devices that support people and society. It also applies these methods to develop specific robots and other machines.
Hiroto Tanaka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies the mechanics of animals that fly or swim by flapping, such as hummingbirds and penguins. Based on the mechanisms it uncovers, the lab uses microfabrication technology to develop small, safe flying and swimming robots. Its goal is to create new bio-inspired machines that incorporate the softness and fine microstructures found in living things.
Mamoru Tanahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanahashi-Shimura Lab studies turbulence and the combustion phenomena that occur within it. By combining experiments, theory, and numerical simulation, the lab clarifies the underlying mechanisms and develops models for use in simulations. It also works on reducing the frictional drag that fluids experience at walls, and on developing measurement systems that measure flows without touching them. Some faculty members also conduct research that aims to understand fire phenomena and to consider efficient firefighting methods and environmental impacts.
Kotaro Tadano, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tadano Lab studies machine systems that assist human work. Its research centers on surgical robot systems and teleoperation, in which machines are operated from a distance. The lab aims to achieve effective assistance for human tasks and advanced interaction between humans and machines. Pneumatic systems, which are driven by the force of air, are another key topic of research.
Hiraku Sakamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakamoto Lab (Space Dynamics and Design Lab) studies methodologies for building large structures in space. Structures in space are flexible, prone to vibration, and change shape over time, so it is important to design them with their motion in mind. While deepening its foundations in fields such as structural dynamics and systems engineering, the lab carries out in-space demonstration experiments using small satellites.
Yoichi Murakami, Professor
0 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies next-generation energy materials and systems for a decarbonized society. Its central material is the covalent organic framework (COF), a crystal like a jungle gym built from rods one molecule wide. Using COFs, the lab works on CO2 separation and capture materials and materials for all-solid-state batteries, as well as technologies that generate electricity from waste heat. The lab is mainly experimental, and it also uses quantum chemical calculations and thermofluid simulations, covering everything from materials development to system development.
Tadahiko Shinshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Shinshi Lab studies how to control the motion of objects using electromagnetic force and ultrasound. Technology that supports objects without contact and moves them in various directions using electromagnetic force is applied to artificial hearts, satellites, information devices, and machine tools. The lab also studies applications to drug delivery systems, in which ultrasound breaks capsules containing a drug so that the drug acts effectively inside the body.
Xiao Feng, Professor
0 student voices
The Xiao Lab studies a wide range of fluid phenomena through numerical simulation, mainly in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The lab develops new computational methods and numerical models for solving, on computers, the equations that describe fluid motion. The lab works broadly, from basic research on computational methods to the integration of data and numerical models, the use of hardware, and applications to real-world problems.
