Toru Seo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Seo Lab uses mathematical methods to solve problems such as traffic congestion and environmental impact. From both theory and data, the lab explores ways to improve efficiency by combining transportation systems with information and communication technology. It aims to capture from data how traffic flows through huge cities, reproduce it with large-scale simulation, and optimize it. The lab also studies next-generation transportation systems built on new technologies such as autonomous driving and ride-sharing.
Kanae Shinjiro, Professor
0 student voices
Kanae Lab studies the Earth's water cycle using computer models and satellites. While heavy rain and flood disasters are becoming more serious in Japan and around the world, the shortage of water resources worldwide is also a major problem. Water issues are linked to food, energy, health, and poverty, and are arguably the foremost global environmental problem. The lab carries out cutting-edge research that contributes to solving both "too much water" and "too little water."
Hitoshi Morikawa, Professor
0 student voices
Morikawa Lab aims to reduce disasters by understanding earthquakes. Its specialties are earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, and it also lists the theory of stochastic processes as a research keyword. The lab balances analysis and observation, taking care to produce research results that fit real-world conditions. Earthquake disaster prevention education is also an object of its research.
Yasunori Muromachi, Professor
0 student voices
The Muromachi Lab conducts research built around three keywords: urban planning, transportation planning, and environmental planning. While deepening our understanding of human behavior, the lab aims to contribute to improving urban and transport environments. It addresses problems facing large cities in Japan and Asia, such as a declining birthrate and aging population and the decline of central urban areas. The lab also evaluates the effects of transport on the environment, people's health, and disaster prevention, and uses the results to propose policies.
Eiichi Sasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Sasaki Lab conducts research mainly on steel structures to support the safety management of infrastructure. It investigates the causes of cracks and fractures produced by traffic loads and earthquakes, and explores ways to prevent them. By measuring vibrations on real bridges and analyzing the data, the lab builds systems that can capture structural behavior and detect damage. The lab also works on inspection methods using eddy currents and on energy harvesting, which generates electricity from bridge vibrations.
Akihiro Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
In the field of geotechnical engineering, the Takahashi Lab studies the behavior of ground and soil to create ground that is resilient to disasters. The lab evaluates how well geotechnical structures such as levees and embankments can withstand earthquakes, heavy rain, and floods. It also studies the performance of geotechnical structures and the physical properties of soil itself, which form the foundation of that work. Together with the Sawada Lab, the lab forms a group called "Doshitsuken" (soil mechanics group), and the two labs hold events and activities jointly.
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.
