Masato Sone, Professor
0 student voices
The Sone-Chang Lab studies techniques for making micro- and nano-sized materials using electrochemical methods. Aiming at next-generation high-sensitivity medical devices, the lab works with materials for semiconductor interconnects, MEMS, and wearable devices. The lab also develops its own evaluation techniques for measuring the functions and mechanical properties of these tiny materials. In addition, the lab works on electrochemically producing energy conversion catalysts that have low environmental impact and high efficiency.
Yuhei Hayamizu, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayamizu Lab studies the interface between bio and nano, which connects the world of biology with the world of electronics. The lab focuses mainly on the phenomenon in which designed peptides self-assemble on two-dimensional materials such as graphene. Using peptides as scaffolds to functionalize surfaces, the lab builds biosensors that detect odor molecules and biomolecules. The lab uses atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy to study the structure and electronic state of these interfaces.
Teruaki Hayakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayakawa Lab develops functional materials based on techniques for precisely synthesizing polymers. Using weak intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds, and van der Waals forces, the lab controls molecular arrangement, as well as crystal, liquid crystal, and phase-separated structures, at the nanoscale. The lab handles the whole process, from molecular structure design through precision polymerization to control of higher-order structures, and creates one-of-a-kind tailor-made materials. Its work is applied to semiconductor nanolithography, high thermal conductivity epoxy resins, porous materials, and more.
Yoshihiro Terada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Terada Lab researches the development of new high-temperature materials that are environmentally friendly and contribute to human society. Its work ranges from basic research investigating the scientific principles of high-temperature deformation to applied development research, including expansion into the environment and energy field. By controlling the microstructure of materials such as magnesium alloys and Ni-based superalloys, the lab aims for materials that remain strong even at high temperatures. It is a small lab where each student has an independent research topic and carries out research while discussing it with the faculty.
Mitsutoshi Ueda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kawamura Lab, jointly with the Ueda Lab, studies the properties and control of metals and metal oxides used at high temperatures. When a metal is placed at high temperature, its surface oxidizes and forms “rust,” but a good “rust” slows the thinning of the metal inside. By clarifying how this “rust” forms and grows, the lab connects its findings to the development of new materials that last long at high temperatures. Its goal is to create materials that help with high-efficiency energy conversion.
Shigeo Asai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Asai Lab studies the relationship between the structure of polymer materials and the properties that arise from it. In polymers such as plastics, changing how the molecules are arranged greatly changes hardness, heat resistance, and how easily the material degrades. The lab studies ways to control this structure, such as infusing polymers with supercritical carbon dioxide and mixing in carbon fillers. The materials it works with are biodegradable plastics, electrically conductive composites, and materials that damp vibration and sound.
Eiji Tada, Professor
0 student voices
The Tada Lab studies the mechanisms by which metal materials dissolve and degrade in the environments where they are used. It works with objects of vastly different sizes, from nanoscale catalysts to meter-scale structures. Using electrochemical measurement methods, the lab investigates how corrosion progresses and builds the fundamentals that lead to corrosion protection and longer service life. It also develops methods for evaluating corrosion and monitoring techniques for tracking its progress.
Tetsuji Yano, Professor
0 student voices
The Yano Lab studies glass and amorphous materials broadly, from basic science to applied technology. Its work covers fundamentals such as the structure and properties of glass, as well as optical, electronic, and mechanical devices and biomaterials. The lab is also developing next-generation process technologies, including high-throughput experiments, laser processing, 3D fabrication, optical tweezers, and the solidification of radioactive waste. It also conducts joint research with researchers overseas, including in France, Switzerland, the United States, the Czech Republic, and Italy.
Yoshisato Kimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kimura Lab studies metallic materials that contribute to the efficient use of energy. Its main targets are thermoelectric materials, which convert wasted heat into electricity, and heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. By gaining a deep understanding of the relationship between a material's microstructure and its properties, the lab aims to design materials that deliver higher performance and help build a sustainable society. By designing how atoms are arranged and which phases form inside a material, the lab works to achieve both strength and fracture resistance.
Yoshitaka Kitamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Kitamoto Lab studies the magnetic phenomena exhibited by magnetic materials of nanometer size. Small magnets and magnetic phenomena support people's lives and health in electronic devices such as hard disks and in medical settings. Working with nanoparticles and structures fabricated at the nanoscale, the lab aims to create magnetic device technologies that enable life innovation. Making magnetic materials and understanding magnetic phenomena require many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and electrical engineering.
