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.
Junichiro Otomo, Professor
0 student voices
The Otomo Lab studies the chemistry of energy conversion and the design of energy systems. Building on electrochemistry and reaction engineering, the lab investigates energy technologies such as fuel cells from the fundamentals. Aiming for a material cycle of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, the lab works on synthesizing new materials and on capturing and reducing carbon dioxide. The lab also considers what future energy systems should look like, from both technological and economic perspectives.
Mayuko Nakamaru, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamaru Lab studies how human society works, using mathematical models and simulation. It takes on a major question in evolutionary ecology: why do people cooperate with others even at a cost to themselves? The lab also investigates why real-world social institutions persist, such as tanomoshiko (a traditional rotating savings and credit association) and microcredit. By building models, the lab makes clear reasoning that tends to stay vague in discussions that rely on words alone.
Alvin Christopher Galang Varquez, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Varquez Lab studies the climates of cities around the world from a global perspective. As cities grow larger, the relationship between urbanization and the environment becomes more complex, and the problems each city faces differ. Using numerical weather models and remote sensing technology, the lab studies the interactions between cities and climate. It also works on urban heat island research and on building GIS databases covering cities worldwide.
Mika Goto, Professor
0 student voices
The Goto Lab studies energy and environmental issues from the perspectives of corporate management and innovation. The lab develops analytical methods that measure productive efficiency and managerial efficiency, and applies them to data on firms and industries. Its research themes also include the economics and policy of energy and the environment for a sustainable society, as well as regional economies. It combines analysis using econometrics and mathematical models with qualitative surveys of trends in firms and industries.
Jun Hasegawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab, drawing on plasma science and engineering and quantum beam science and engineering, conducts research ranging from fusion energy to radiation medicine. It develops accelerators for fusion energy development and high-brightness laser ion sources for next-generation heavy-ion cancer therapy systems. It also works on developing compact fusion neutron sources for non-destructive testing. Students themselves assemble and improve precision experimental apparatus, and develop technology while understanding the physics through numerical simulation.
Shigeki Saito, Professor
0 student voices
The Saito Lab aims to create value through research and development in microrobotics and through engineering design. One pillar is research that clarifies the mechanisms of adhesion and detachment at the microscale and applies them to next-generation manufacturing technology. The other pillar is the scientific study of design processes for solving what are known as “wicked problems.” The lab reflects these findings in real projects, aiming to lead to the creation of next-generation innovation.
Takahashi Kunio, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab aims to understand phenomena related to interfaces from a physical perspective and to consider their applications. The lab investigates the mechanism of adhesion, in which objects stick together, and applies it to building mechanisms that grasp and release objects. It also works on elucidating and imitating the mechanisms of living things such as geckos and snails. It practices transdisciplinary science and engineering that is not bound by specialized fields, including energy harvesting that stores slightly fluctuating electric power.
Noriyosu Hayashizaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayashizaki Lab studies accelerator and beam technology, aiming for its use in medicine and industry. The lab is developing a multi-beam linear accelerator that accelerates high-intensity heavy ion beams. It is also developing an irradiation system for boron neutron capture therapy using a compact proton linear accelerator that can be installed inside a hospital. It also works toward the practical use of compact industrial electron accelerators for applications such as electron beam sterilization.
