福田 恵美子, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Fukuda Lab studies better social and economic systems using game theory, experimental economics, simulation, and other methods. It analyzes the behavior of individuals and consumers within a system and considers how institutions and services can be improved. Research themes include the formation and stability of patent pools, queueing games, factors that influence altruistic behavior, and search and inspection games. The subjects range from voting systems and security deployment to economic policy and service systems, and students can choose a theme that matches their interests.
Xiuzhu Gu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Gu Lab studies how to improve the safety and quality of sociotechnical systems from the perspectives of human factors and ergonomics, resilience engineering, safety engineering, and healthcare management. Its central interest is in settings where people, technology, organizations, and environments interact in complex ways. In healthcare and other fields where safety is a priority, the lab explores why accidents and errors occur, and how people and organizations can respond more safely and resiliently. Depending on the theme, the lab combines research methods such as eye tracking, questionnaire surveys, interviews, behavioral experiments, and natural language processing.
Kyoko Nagata, Professor
0 student voices
The Nagata Lab conducts empirical research in corporate finance and accounting, focusing on problems arising in the real economy and society. It focuses on how management decisions, such as CSR (corporate social responsibility) and corporate governance, affect capital markets and firm value. Recent master's thesis topics include earnings management, outside directors and firm performance, and institutional investors and ESG. In the lab seminar, to deepen understanding of real-world issues that do not necessarily have a single right answer, students also work in teams, for example by discussing corporate governance topics.
Kotaro Inoue, Professor
0 student voices
The Inoue-Kimura Lab empirically studies corporate investment behavior, management, and governance structures from the perspective of finance (capital markets). Its research covers corporate ownership structure and governance, institutional investors' investment behavior, ESG investing, M&A, and venture capital. Its approach to supervision is to build students' ability to understand theory and analyze data while they aim for top-tier papers. The lab also carries out joint research and collaborative projects with major institutional investors, financial consulting firms, and major banks in Japan and abroad.
Yuko Kanamori, Program-Specific Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Global Environment Lab is run under a partnership agreement between Institute of Science Tokyo and the National Institute for Environmental Studies. Focusing on environmental issues, the lab builds models that incorporate people, society, and the economy, and uses them to develop future scenarios and conduct policy evaluation for a sustainable society. The faculty also includes researchers from the National Institute for Environmental Studies. Recent degree theses have addressed the transition to a decarbonized society, household electricity consumption and CO2 emissions, and the impacts of climate change.
Kazuhide Nakata, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakata Lab studies operations research, machine learning, and mathematical optimization. These fields overlap considerably, and the lab conducts research across them. Recently, joint research with companies has increased, and the lab mathematically solves problems arising on the front lines and analyzes real data to find new insights. By joining a joint research project, students can experience how the theory they learn at university is put to use in society.
Ryuji Uozumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Uozumi Lab studies biostatistics, the statistics of medical research. Its interests include the design and analysis of clinical trials, survival analysis, and causal inference. The lab works on both methodological research that develops new statistical methods and applied research that uses statistics in actual studies. Associate Professor Uozumi has extensive experience advising and supporting medical researchers who come with statistical questions.
Ryutaro Ichise, Professor
0 student voices
The Ichise Lab studies artificial intelligence with learning as its key. The lab aims to have computers, on behalf of humans, extract the necessary knowledge from the flood of information, consolidate it, and make it usable. In this way, the lab hopes to open up a world where computers can expand not only human memory but also human thought. Recently, the lab has received awards for work such as a recommender system that uses knowledge graphs to explain its recommendations and research on detecting errors in large language models.
Kota Ogasawara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ogasawara Lab studies how human capital is formed in the course of economic development. Its key resource is historical statistics, which record the state of past societies and economies. The lab builds new long-term socioeconomic databases and analyzes them statistically with econometric models designed for each purpose. Through this analysis, the lab aims to deliver insights useful for development.
Tomomi Matsui, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsui Lab conducts research that supports comfortable living by making full use of mathematics and computers. Its specialties are optimization, algorithms, and combinatorics. In Prof. Matsui's recent papers, the topics include the problem of scheduling sports games and the design of transportation networks that move goods via hubs. The lab also lists operations research and game theory among its research keywords.
