Joon-Wan Kim, Professor
0 student voices
The Kim Lab studies micromechatronics based on a new principle, using electro-conjugate fluid (ECF). The lab applies ECF to actuators, sensors, and control systems, for example by using small pumps driven by ECF jets (micropumps) as hydraulic pressure sources. For fabrication, the lab combines MEMS technology and ultraprecision machining. It also studies soft fingers and hands driven by ECF, and lenses with variable focus.
Yoshida Takako, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab (Applied Brain Science Lab) studies how to apply brain science to engineering. The lab investigates human senses and brain function, aiming to improve the affinity between people and machines from the standpoint of the user's experience. Its research keywords include vision, touch, teleoperation, and virtual reality.
Gen Endo, Professor
0 student voices
Based on robotics, the Endo Lab studies practical robot systems for solving social problems. The lab clarifies the problem, searches for the best form and method to solve it, and then realizes it in an actual machine to confirm its usefulness. So that research does not become research for its own sake, the lab seeks the simplest and most efficient solution from an engineering standpoint. The real appeal of the research is being able to turn an idea you have envisioned into a real object, from design through assembly to making it move.
Tomohiro Nozaki, Professor
0 student voices
Based on thermal engineering, reaction engineering, plasma chemistry, catalytic chemistry, and materials science, the Nozaki Lab conducts research on energy and the environment. The lab develops environmentally harmonious chemical reaction processes, such as carbon recycling, and the functional materials they require. It also studies reactions that use non-equilibrium plasma to turn carbon dioxide into a resource. Based on mechanical engineering, the lab carries out interdisciplinary research and education across fields.
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.
