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.
Yoko Komada, Professor
1 student voices
The Komada Lab studies sleep and biological rhythms from both scientific and social perspectives. It clarifies how sleep debt and disrupted biological rhythms, which are widespread in modern society, affect physical and mental health. On that basis, it proposes solutions at the individual, societal, and environmental levels. Its themes include social jet lag, women's health and sleep, children's sleep, and sleep-related eating disorders.
Midori Komatsu, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Komatsu Lab studies support for intercultural exchange so that people with different cultural backgrounds can become friends. It examines where the problems that hinder interaction between international students and Japanese students lie and how they can be improved. Japanese-language classes and counseling services for international students also serve as places to gain clues for deepening interaction. In recent years, the lab has also been working on how international students and Japanese students differ in their understanding of leadership.
Mitsue Nagamine, Professor
1 student voices
The Nagamine Lab clarifies the mechanisms of stress through psychophysiological research. Moving away from the view that "stress is bad," the lab begins by first understanding stress. The lab works on stress assessment based on the secretion rhythm of salivary cortisol, and on evaluating the effects of stress management education. The lab believes that understanding what stress really is leads to understanding oneself.
Masako Toriya, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Toriya Lab studies how technology changes people's lives, industries, and society. Using systems engineering and systems thinking, the lab describes these connections from a bird's-eye view. On that basis, it considers what services, products, and technologies should be created next, and how to go about creating them. Its main areas of focus are healthcare and science, technology, and innovation policy.
Eiichiro Kimura, Professor
1 student voices
Kimura Lab studies innovation management, the way companies create new businesses. It covers fields that touch people's daily lives, such as food and health, and the environment and sustainability. The lab explores how technologies such as digital health, alternative foods, and AI and big data can be turned into businesses. It also studies the frontline of open innovation, such as collaboration between large companies and startups, which accelerates discontinuous growth.
Kazutoshi Sasahara, Professor
1 student voices
Sasahara Lab analyzes large-scale data left behind by human behavior, using the methods of computational social science. Computational social science is a social science for the digital age, made possible by the use of big data and computers. The lab investigates the principles and technologies for maintaining the diversity and reliability of information on social media. It aims to connect the knowledge gained to value creation and social innovation.
Taro Sugihara, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Sugihara Lab studies the behavior and learning of individuals and organizations that use technology, and how these change. The lab conducts research by visiting sites in person and hearing firsthand accounts from people in the field. Findings are abstracted to identify relationships and regularities, which lead to proposed solutions. The faculty mainly study long-term care and healthcare, but students' topics are not limited to these.
Shintaro Fukuda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Fukuda Lab studies how to systematize the performance that building users require, element by element, and express it numerically. It investigates what performance is needed, and how much, for building elements such as floors, walls, roofs, and ceilings. The results serve as indicators for selecting materials and construction methods that meet users' requirements, and as a framework for setting construction conditions. The lab puts particular emphasis on evaluating floor slipperiness, floor hardness, and vibration transmitted to buildings.
