Yoshihiro Mizutani, Professor
0 student voices
The Mizutani Lab studies how to inspect machines and structures without damaging them and how to evaluate their integrity. Using tiny sounds emitted by materials, ultrasonic waves, and electromagnetic induction, the lab finds internal flaws and pinpoints their locations. The lab also works on applying artificial intelligence (AI) to nondestructive testing and on controlling fracture in composite materials. Some of its topics are pursued as national projects or as joint research with JAXA.

Satoshi Miura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Miura Lab studies human-machine interfaces that connect people and machines, as well as robots for medicine and welfare. The lab builds both real surgical robots and VR simulators, and investigates how to design and control robots that are easy for surgeons to operate. It also develops rehabilitation technology that reads from brain waves the moment a person intends to move, and an original controller that lets users move a robot as if grasping it directly.

Yasuko Yanagida, Professor
0 student voices
The Yanagida Lab uses BioMEMS, a technology for building tiny devices, to study topics ranging from medicine and dentistry to ocean environment measurement. Its cross-disciplinary work includes research on how to handle cells, sensors that examine conditions in the mouth, and sensors that measure carbon dioxide in the ocean. The lab brings together students with a wide range of specialties, and applicants may come from any background.

Tanaka Tomohisa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies production and machining technologies that underpin manufacturing. It develops laser machining technology that controls the properties of light, and ultrasonic technology for creating fine surface textures and narrow, deep holes. The lab also studies how the structures of machines and machine tools vibrate, and develops dampers whose stiffness and damping performance can be adjusted.

Ryo Onishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Onishi Lab combines large-scale fluid simulation with data science to study turbulence in the environment. Using computations on supercomputers, it investigates turbulence inside clouds and phenomena of various scales in the atmosphere and ocean. The lab also works on building systems that predict fine-grained weather for individual city blocks by combining machine learning and data assimilation with predictive simulation.

Toshio Takayama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takayama Lab studies the development of new devices, centered on mechanisms that move in unusual ways. The lab builds mechanisms that can be used in mobile robots, robotic hands, and medical devices, and has recently also put effort into developing microfluidic devices. The lab is equipped with machine tools, microscopes, and other equipment, and develops devices with unprecedented motions through trial and error.

小林 恒, Project Professor
0 student voices
The Kobayashi-Matsuura Lab analyzes and designs machine elements such as gears, and studies the technology for manufacturing them. As the JTEKT Innovative Fundamental Technology Joint Research Chair, the lab works on developing technologies for gears and other components used in automobiles and robots. The lab also aims to develop robot systems built around new machine elements, as well as machines for fields that strengthen society, such as welfare, medicine, and disaster response.

Shinji Tanaka, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies tribology to improve the performance of hydraulic equipment and machine elements such as gears in construction machinery. The lab visualizes lubrication conditions and investigates how material surfaces and lubricants relate to sliding characteristics. As a lab of the Komatsu Innovative Technology Co-creation Laboratory, a joint research hub established by Komatsu and the university, it conducts research toward the electrification of construction machinery.

Yoshihiro Harada, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Harada-Kato Lab studies the phenomena that occur in ink droplets during inkjet printing. It is a lab of a collaborative research chair jointly established by the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Ricoh Company, Ltd. With industry and academia working as one, the lab tackles the elucidation of complex phenomena specific to inkjet, such as the evaporation, penetration, drying, and fixation of ink droplets.

Kazuyoshi Fushinobu, Professor
0 student voices
The Fushinobu Lab conducts research to advance a variety of cutting-edge devices from the perspective of thermal engineering and energy engineering within mechanical engineering. The lab works on thermal issues in automotive electronics, digital printing, and laser-based processing and measurement. The lab is run in collaboration with the Harada-Kato Lab, the Nagasawa Lab, and the Kim Byeong-gi Lab.
