Chikako Ishizuka, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Ishizuka Lab studies the mechanisms of reactions between atomic nuclei using both theory and machine learning. Under the banner of “nuclear physics for a better society,” the lab works to elucidate nuclear reaction mechanisms, with a focus on nuclear fission. It applies this knowledge to nuclear transmutation in fast reactors and molten salt reactors, cancer treatment with heavy ions, reactor monitoring, and more. The lab also studies nuclear data, which form the foundation of these applications, with the goal of returning knowledge of nuclear physics to society.
Tatsuya Katabuchi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Katabuchi Lab studies the nuclear reactions caused by neutrons, centered on experiments using neutron beams. Using neutrons produced by accelerators, the lab precisely measures how likely neutron capture reactions are to occur and the gamma rays they emit. This data is used in designing nuclear reactors and in understanding how elements heavier than iron were created in space. The lab also conducts research related to boron neutron capture therapy for cancer and research on nuclear security.
Kayoko Nohara, Professor
1 student voices
Nohara Lab studies language and communication, with “translation” as its keyword. Its foundation is translation studies, an interdisciplinary field involving linguistics, semiotics, and communication studies. The lab believes that sharing scientific and technological information with society requires many kinds of “translation.” Drawing on its network of artists, designers, art universities, and companies, the lab creates encounters between science and technology and art and design.
Jun-Ichi Takada, Professor
1 student voices
The Takada Lab studies how radio waves propagate (radio wave propagation) in a wide range of wireless systems. Wireless communication technologies, such as mobile phones and sensors, have become inseparable from everyday life. The lab investigates radio wave propagation and antennas for wideband wireless and mobile communications, and also develops the instruments used to measure radio waves. Through measurement, the lab aims to develop innovative wireless communication technologies.
Kozue Nishida, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies how the ocean environment has changed over time, using the calcium carbonate shells and bones formed by shellfish, corals, fish, and other organisms. The lab investigates how global warming and ocean acidification, driven by rising carbon dioxide from human activities, affect shell-forming organisms. By measuring the stable isotope ratios and elemental composition of shells, the lab reconstructs the water temperature and environmental conditions of the time. The lab's goal is to clarify how changes in the marine environment, from the past through the present to the future, are related to the evolution of calcifying organisms.
Yasuko Kasai, Professor
0 student voices
The Kasai Lab uses terahertz waves to observe the Earth from space and to observe planets from the Earth. In "FROM SPACE," the lab captures greenhouse gases and air pollution from satellites to study changes in the global environment. In "TO SPACE," the lab explores Jupiter's icy moons, the atmosphere of Mars, and resources on the Moon through terahertz observations. The lab's work covers everything from developing observation instruments to analyzing data with radiative transfer models and machine learning.
Atsushi Ishikawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ishikawa Lab uses computation to uncover how catalysts and batteries work. Using first-principles calculations, which solve the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics, the lab studies the behavior of materials related to energy and the environment. From the information obtained, the lab solves reaction rate equations to predict how well a catalytic reaction will proceed. The lab also works on simulations of entire reactors and on proposing new materials through machine learning.
Masahiko Nakase, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakase Lab broadly studies nuclear energy systems and the nuclear fuel cycle, building on nuclear chemical engineering. It works on innovative reactors, systems that operate in synergy with renewable energy, and reprocessing and back-end technologies. The lab also studies waste and debris from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In addition to experiments, it uses chemical calculations, mechanical engineering calculations, and chemical engineering calculations as appropriate, taking diverse approaches.
Tatsuya Wakeyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Wakeyama Lab studies how to realize a power system running on 100% renewable energy. It works on model analysis using linear programming and geographic information systems (GIS), policy research, and case studies of renewable energy projects. Research topics are decided based on each student's own awareness of problems and interests. The lab started in April 2022 and aims to deepen understanding of the issues involved in building a decarbonized society.
Hiroki Takasu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takasu Lab studies energy conversion and storage technologies aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. It develops electrolysis cells that convert carbon dioxide into resources and absorbent materials that capture carbon dioxide. It also works on metal membranes that extract hydrogen, solid absorbent materials that store ammonia, and heat storage materials. The lab began its activities in April 2022 and advances its development in collaboration with companies, universities, and research institutions.
