Takeo Hori, Professor
1 student voices
The Hori Lab studies macroeconomics, with a central focus on economic growth. The lab focuses on technological progress and theoretically analyzes how economies grow. Another research interest is the analysis of economies with many heterogeneous households and firms. The lab has also worked on research dealing with topics such as the relationship between asset bubbles and aggregate demand.
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.
古川 克子, Professor
0 student voices
The Furukawa Lab studies the regeneration of a variety of organs from the perspective of biomechanics. It works on techniques for sorting stem cells, techniques for controlling stem cell differentiation with mechanical stimulation, and the design of culture devices that apply stimulation (bioreactors). By investigating mechanics from single cells to complex tissues, the lab explores the relationship between organ regeneration and the loss of organ function. The lab aims to regenerate organs that continue to function over a long period.
Motoki Shino, Professor
0 student voices
Shino-Yoshitake Lab studies life-support engineering, the field that creates devices and systems that support people's daily lives. Drawing on mechanical dynamics, control engineering, and ergonomics, the lab uses sensors to measure the behavior, psychology, and physiology of people as they move around or use objects. Based on these results, the lab designs assistive devices and systems that lead to safe, secure, and comfortable lives. Through joint research with industry, local governments, and hospitals, the lab aims to gain not only academic knowledge but also practical experience and know-how.
Wakako Araki, Professor
0 student voices
Araki Lab studies next-generation battery materials, focusing on the mechanical properties of ion-conducting ceramics and on how ions move. The lab also works on the relationship between the structure and properties of solid electrolytes, and on applications to energy storage devices. By clarifying the relationship between the structure and properties of materials, the lab aims to improve the performance of next-generation batteries and to develop guidelines for designing new materials. The lab welcomes students who want to be involved in cutting-edge materials research and its applications from the perspective of mechanics of materials.
Takahashi Hideharu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies machine systems that can carry out work on their own, in support of smart agriculture and forestry. The lab works on remote sensing and robotics, technologies for restoring the environment and making use of unused resources, and zero-carbon energy. It is developing a system that tracks the sun to generate electricity, jointly with the Kikura Lab and others, and is also researching how to combine it with technologies for supplying power on site. In addition to its laboratory, the lab conducts research at the Smart Agriculture Education and Research Field on the Yokohama Campus.
Shingo Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Maeda Lab studies robots based on soft materials (soft matter). Its work covers a wide range, from soft actuators, soft pumps, and soft sensors that generate motion to soft robots. Focusing on the unique properties of soft materials, the lab explores life-like functions and develops a variety of devices. The lab participates in the Research Center for Autonomous Systems Materialogy (ASMat) and conducts research that spans fields such as mechanics, materials, physics, and AI.
Hiroshi Yamaura, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaura Lab studies the analysis and control of the motion of dynamic systems such as machines. The lab works on control that builds models of the motion of cranes and robots and moves them while suppressing vibration, as well as control of the amount of load handled by construction machinery. It also studies computational methods for machines in which many parts are connected and move together, and the analysis of phenomena in which different things interact, such as soil and machinery.
