Hiraku Sakamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakamoto Lab (Space Dynamics and Design Lab) studies methodologies for building large structures in space. Structures in space are flexible, prone to vibration, and change shape over time, so it is important to design them with their motion in mind. While deepening its foundations in fields such as structural dynamics and systems engineering, the lab carries out in-space demonstration experiments using small satellites.
Yoichi Murakami, Professor
0 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies next-generation energy materials and systems for a decarbonized society. Its central material is the covalent organic framework (COF), a crystal like a jungle gym built from rods one molecule wide. Using COFs, the lab works on CO2 separation and capture materials and materials for all-solid-state batteries, as well as technologies that generate electricity from waste heat. The lab is mainly experimental, and it also uses quantum chemical calculations and thermofluid simulations, covering everything from materials development to system development.
Tadahiko Shinshi, Professor
0 student voices
The Shinshi Lab studies how to control the motion of objects using electromagnetic force and ultrasound. Technology that supports objects without contact and moves them in various directions using electromagnetic force is applied to artificial hearts, satellites, information devices, and machine tools. The lab also studies applications to drug delivery systems, in which ultrasound breaks capsules containing a drug so that the drug acts effectively inside the body.
Xiao Feng, Professor
0 student voices
The Xiao Lab studies a wide range of fluid phenomena through numerical simulation, mainly in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The lab develops new computational methods and numerical models for solving, on computers, the equations that describe fluid motion. The lab works broadly, from basic research on computational methods to the integration of data and numerical models, the use of hardware, and applications to real-world problems.
Tadashi Ishida, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ishida Lab studies a new interdisciplinary field by applying mechanical engineering technology to medicine and biology, and knowledge from medicine and biology to mechanical engineering. Using MEMS and microchannel technology, the lab develops new measurement devices for examining living organisms and biological materials. By combining these technologies, the lab creates fingertip-sized bio laboratories and is opening up technology that supports biomedical research and drug discovery.
Takahisa Yamazaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Yamazaki Lab studies how joining different types of materials (dissimilar materials) can produce new functions. It is unusual for a mechanical engineering department to have a joining lab. The lab works with diamond, carbon materials, and welding. As part of mechanical materials science, students learn about phase diagrams and heat treatment.
Takushi Saito, Professor
0 student voices
Saito Lab studies thermal management, based on heat transfer engineering, to help improve the efficiency and electrification of construction machinery. Working on "advanced energy utilization" and "elucidation of transport phenomena," the lab aims to apply techniques for combining various materials to heat transfer devices. The lab is part of the Komatsu Innovative Technology Co-creation Research Institute, a collaborative research hub jointly established by Komatsu and the university, and Prof. Saito serves as the head of the hub.
Nakano Yutaka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Nakano Lab studies the various vibrations that occur in machines and instruments, including methods to suppress vibration and methods to measure it and put it to use. It takes up self-excited vibration, chatter vibration, and disc brake squeal, and works on vibration control with dynamic vibration absorbers and on vibration monitoring. The settings it deals with range widely, from machining with machine tools to automobile brakes and support for oral surgery.
Takatoki Yamamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab studies bio-nanodevices made with microfabrication technology and their application to biosensors and healthcare devices. The lab builds sensors that read the changes in electrical signals as viruses and bacteria flow through nanochannels, and uses machine learning to identify which type they are. The lab also works on biomimetics, which creates new devices by imitating nanostructures found in living organisms.
Masafumi Okada, Professor
0 student voices
The Okada-Hijikata Lab studies the design and control of robots and medical devices, aiming for machines that are kind and useful to people. The Okada Group works on the design of mechanisms, control, and motion, based on ideas from physics and mathematics. From the viewpoint of "learning from living organisms and guiding with engineering," the Hijikata Group studies artificial hearts, artificial skin, and more, using technologies based on electromagnetics.
