Takashi Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies coastal ecosystems in coral reef and mangrove areas. Ecosystems are always in motion, changing their form in response to changes in the surrounding environment. The lab conducts ecological surveys, water quality monitoring using geochemical methods, biological experiments, and physical observations. It builds models that integrate these approaches to predict how ecosystems will behave under global warming and ocean acidification.
Takashi Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies water environments in inland waters such as rivers and lakes. With water flow as the key, it considers how to maintain healthy water environments and how to prevent water-related disasters. The lab develops three-dimensional flow programs using cutting-edge computational methods, and large-scale, high-speed analysis models using GPGPU. Combined with field observations, flume experiments, and remote sensing using satellite images, these tools are used to understand water flow and water environments.
Miki Saijo, Professor
0 student voices
The Saijo Lab studies the process by which new technologies and systems spread through society, by designing the interactions between people. Building on discourse analysis from sociolinguistics, it investigates how discussions proceed and how they can be made easier to understand. The lab also addresses user innovation in local communities and science and technology literacy for risk management. It explores how to create dialogue that can trigger changes in perception among people with different knowledge backgrounds.
Kanda Manabu, Professor
0 student voices
The Kanda Lab studies the weather phenomena specific to cities. It deals with problems of the urban atmospheric environment, such as heat islands, heatstroke, torrential downpours, and air pollution. The lab combines supercomputer-based prediction of urban weather, an outdoor urban experimental facility, and advanced environmental measurement technologies. The lab takes a multifaceted approach that is not bound by existing disciplinary boundaries, spanning meteorology, hydrology, civil engineering, and architecture.
Yoshihisa Matsumoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumoto Lab studies the effects of radiation on living organisms and the responses that organisms show to radiation. The lab aims to understand these mechanisms at the molecular level, incorporating techniques from molecular biology and cell biology. It seeks to connect its findings to next-generation radiation therapy and radiation protection based on individual radiosensitivity. The lab aims to contribute to the safe and secure use of nuclear power and radiation, and to further improvement of radiation therapy for cancer.
Toru Obara, Professor
0 student voices
The Obara Lab conducts research on future nuclear energy systems and on the safe decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Today's nuclear power systems tend to be regarded as complete, but they are by no means so. Going back to the basic principles of nuclear reactors, the lab pursues the question of what kind of nuclear energy system would truly meet the needs of society. The lab carries out its research through a variety of numerical simulations, using the lab's servers and the university's supercomputer.
Daisuke Akita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Akita Lab builds on aerodynamics to study aerospace systems while imagining the distant future. The lab is particularly interested in passive systems that make clever use of the diverse environments of space, which may look harsh at first glance. Examples include things not immediately associated with space, such as yachts, balloons, and kites. Starting from new ideas that are not an extension of past approaches, the lab aims to create appealing missions and systems that only a university could produce.
Koji Tokimatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Tokimatsu Lab conducts research and education at the interface between technology and the socioeconomy. Its guiding principle is to understand individual technologies, explore what those technologies mean for society, and make that clear to society. The lab draws on knowledge from a wide range of fields, including energy science and engineering, energy systems, social science and engineering, and resource, environment, and development economics. The scope of evaluation is broad: Japan, Asia, and the world, over a time span from 2030 to 2100.
Hiroshi Takagi, Professor
0 student voices
Takagi Lab studies technologies to reduce disasters in coastal areas, such as tsunamis and storm surges. Using an engineering, problem-solving approach, the lab explores ways to protect people's lives and the foundations of their livelihoods. It studies coastal embankments that make use of plants such as mangroves, and seawalls that generate power from differences in tide level. The lab aims to create disaster prevention technologies that are useful in Asian countries that lack sufficient funding and resources.
Fumitake Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies waste recycling from the perspectives of both science and engineering and the social sciences. Recycling is essential for building a recycling-oriented society, yet progress remains slow. The lab considers the reasons to be low trust in safety, the lack of appeal of recycled materials as products, and their negative image. The lab regards recycling as an integrated science that requires everything from science and engineering to the social sciences, and pursues research on both technology development and human psychology.
