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.
Shigeo Nishikizawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nishikizawa Lab examines environmental problems through the approaches of environmental policy and environmental planning. It studies how environmental impact assessment systems for wind and solar power should work, and measures for renewable energy to coexist with local communities. The research places importance on fieldwork, and its data come from interview surveys, questionnaire surveys, and government documents and meeting minutes. Through policy recommendations, the lab aims to contribute to realizing a carbon-neutral society.
Kazuaki Inaba, Professor
0 student voices
The Inaba Lab begins its research by visualizing invisible phenomena and understanding them through mechanics. It connects the knowledge gained to design, creating new systems and products through Smart Prototyping. The lab studies phenomena involving fluids and structures, such as cavitation and water hammer, as well as material fracture, impact, and medical devices. By combining high-speed imaging, numerical analysis, and prototyping, the lab aims to deliver new value to people and society.
Naoya Abe, Professor
0 student voices
The Abe Lab puts people at the center and explores the sustainability of society and the environment. It conducts research from the perspectives of international development, renewable energy, and a recycling-oriented society. Centered on applied economics, statistics, and international development, the lab covers areas related to environmental information, policy, and management. The lab engages with society and stakeholders, visits sites to learn firsthand, and combines theoretical and practical knowledge to find solutions.
Hiroshi Sagara, Professor
0 student voices
The Sagara Lab pursues nuclear safety, nuclear nonproliferation, and nuclear security. Using numerical analysis that spans nuclear reactions to environmental dynamics, the lab tackles global societal challenges. The lab designs reactors that use "nuclear waste" as fuel and studies nuclear energy systems that are resilient to terrorism and natural disasters. Toward the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, the lab also works on non-destructive assay equipment for measuring melted-down fuel.
Ryuichi Egashira, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Egashira Lab develops and improves a wide range of chemical processes using chemical engineering methods, especially separation and purification engineering. Through this accumulated work, the lab aims to contribute to sustainable development. Its topics include wastewater treatment, biofuel production, separation of rare earth metals, and heavy oil processing. Centered on separation operations such as solvent extraction and adsorption, the lab studies how to recover useful materials from wastewater and waste.
Colleen Christina Shumuko, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shumuko Lab studies methods for analyzing the sound of shamisen performance. The lab views the sound produced by each individual shamisen as embedding temporal, spatial, and cultural elements. To capture these elements, it develops quantitative methods that treat sound as numerical data. The lab approaches traditional Japanese music and ethnic music through the performed sound itself.
Reina Takamatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takamatsu Lab studies human sociality through emotion, culture, and morality. It investigates why people's feelings of empathy toward others are lost within social relationships. Another topic is how the feeling of finding something "cute" (kawaii) relates to the desire to raise and protect children. On moral judgment, the lab is reconsidering prior research, which has tended to be centered on North America, from an East Asian perspective.
Kengo Kogure, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kogure Lab studies how technological progress changes the economy and the way people work. From a perspective different from mainstream economics, the lab analyzes how employment, distribution, and power structures change. It draws on theories from political economy and heterodox economics. The lab examines the dynamics specific to capitalism and explores socioeconomic imbalances and the possibilities for change.
