Yuko Hara, Program-Specific Professor
0 student voices
Hara Lab studies embedded systems from both the hardware and software sides. The lab works broadly on highly efficient, highly reliable automated design techniques for the many kinds of embedded systems found in home appliances, automobiles, mobile phones, and more.

Hirohiko Kaneko, Professor
0 student voices
Kaneko Lab studies how humans process information that enters through the eyes. The lab aims to clarify the processes of human perception and cognition, centered on the visual system, and in particular the mechanisms for perceiving space.

Kenta Kasai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kasai Lab studies codes that correct errors occurring in quantum computer calculations. In particular, it explores how to construct quantum LDPC codes, whose parity-check equations are sparse, and how to decode them. The challenge is to satisfy several properties that are hard to achieve together: a practical code rate, a large girth, and low decoding complexity. The lab aims to regain the design freedom of classical LDPC codes under the constraint of quantum commutativity.

Manabu Okumura, Professor
0 student voices
The Okumura-Funakoshi Lab focuses on natural language processing, which deals with language using computers. It also puts effort into multimodal dialogue systems, knowledge processing, and the construction and evaluation of language resources, covering a wide range from basic to applied research. Using machine learning extensively, the lab studies summarization, text generation from data, opinion and sentiment analysis, social media analysis, dialogue, and more. Students find their own research topics based on their interests, and can receive supervision on anything related to natural language processing, dialogue systems, or human-machine interaction.

Hiroki Nakahara, Program-Specific Professor
0 student voices
The Nakahara Lab studies reconfigurable systems, which are LSIs that can be rewritten. Focusing on FPGAs in particular, it works on how to implement and apply AI, as well as high-performance computing. A distinctive feature is that it covers a wide range, from LSI design and verification to applications and theoretical architectures. Besides publishing its results in papers, the lab also links them to business use through a venture company.

Wakaha Ogata, Professor
0 student voices
The Ogata Lab studies cryptography for protecting communications and data. The role of cryptography now goes beyond protecting communications. It extends to proving a person's identity, proving that the content of a communication is correct, and protecting privacy. The lab works on highly functional cryptography such as attribute-based encryption and fully homomorphic encryption, as well as cryptography designed to withstand quantum computers. It also works on applications to FinTech, blockchain, and services that do not require trusting the server.

Ryutaroh Matsumoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumoto Lab studies quantum information, coding theory, and information theory. On the professor's web page, a selection of past papers is published by field, including network coding, algebraic curves, quantum communication, and algebraic coding theory. The lab's recent research is introduced in a list of papers that can be reached from the lab's page. Students interested in the lab are directed to the online information session of the Department of Information and Communications Engineering and to individual lab information sessions.

Ken Kobayashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies operations research, mathematical optimization, and machine learning. These fields are closely related to one another, and the lab pursues research across them. While keeping applications to real-world problems in view, the lab also values the theoretical side of models and algorithms. Recently, the lab has been working on how to solve a class of problems called mixed-integer semidefinite optimization, and on "counterfactual explanations," which explain the predictions of machine learning.

Dai Senoo, Professor
0 student voices
The Senoo Lab studies how knowledge is created within organizations and the systems that support it. It observes processes such as how new businesses emerge, how corporate philosophies are formed, and how skills are passed on. Another focus is tools that support leaders in acting according to the situation and in bringing many perspectives into decision-making. The lab upholds three values: "give your full effort without cutting corners," "take on challenges with courage," and "respect one another."

Akiyoshi Shioura, Professor
0 student voices
The Shioura Lab conducts research on solving a wide range of management and economic problems with mathematical methods and algorithms. Professor Shioura studies discrete convex analysis, a theory of discrete optimization, and its algorithms. The lab also works on applications to other fields, such as operations research and economics. Past undergraduate and graduate research has dealt with methods for solving problems such as production planning, scheduling, delivery routing, and auctions.
