Shuichi Murakami, Program-Specific Professor
1 student voices
Murakami Lab studies, from a theoretical standpoint, phenomena in which quantum mechanical effects appear as properties of a material as a whole. The central topic is the physics of the flow of electron spin (spin current), which is also attracting attention for its applications in spintronics. The spin Hall effect, in which a spin current arises perpendicular to an applied electric field, was confirmed in experiments after the lab's theoretical prediction. By exploring principles shared by seemingly quite different things, such as electrons and light, the lab aims to predict new phenomena.
Ryo Hanai, Associate Professor

The Hanai Lab theoretically studies phenomena that appear in "nonequilibrium" many-body systems driven from the outside. In nonequilibrium systems, the principle of free-energy minimization that holds for matter in thermal equilibrium does not hold in general. In particular, the lab focuses on "nonreciprocal" interactions that break the law of action and reaction, and explores physics common to systems ranging from ecosystems to electrons in solids. The lab deals with a wide range of subjects, from artificial quantum systems such as ultracold atomic gases to active matter and living systems.
Motohide Kokubun, Program-Specific Associate Professor

The Kokubun Lab is the lab of Prof. Kokubun, who is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), JAXA, and also a Specially Appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Institute of Science Tokyo. The lab's research takes place at JAXA's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. The lab has long been involved in developing X-ray and gamma-ray observation instruments that capture high-energy phenomena in the universe, and recently it has been working on experiments that use lasers and balloons to test general relativity with high precision.
Ii Satoshi, Professor

The Ii Lab studies the mechanics behind biological phenomena, mainly those involving flow and transport, using numerical simulation. The lab aims to establish a new research approach that integrates numerical analysis with real data obtained from experiments and clinical measurements. Keywords are biomechanics, computational mechanics, cerebral circulation, multiscale phenomena (such as cell membranes and the cytoskeleton), data assimilation, and machine learning. Assistant Professor Hiro Wakimura studies high-resolution numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics and compressible gas-liquid two-phase flow. The lab was established in April 2024.
Nobuhiro Honda, Professor
0 student voices
The Honda Lab studies the structure of three-dimensional complex manifolds known as twistor spaces. Twistor spaces are somewhat unusual complex manifolds that arise from differential geometry on four-dimensional manifolds. Building on classical methods based on linear systems, the lab investigates their detailed structure. For students aiming at the doctoral program, the lab hopes that they will find their own research topics as far as possible, based on what they learn in the lab seminar.
Soma Purkait, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
Purkait Lab studies number theory, in particular automorphic forms (modular forms), the theory of newforms for them, and automorphic representations. In its papers to date, the lab has dealt with newforms of automorphic forms of half-integral weight and with Hecke operators.
Yuichiro Taguchi, Professor
0 student voices
Taguchi Lab studies number theory. In its papers to date, the lab has dealt with Galois representations and with the moduli spaces that classify them. The lab's website also offers explanations of topics such as Fermat's Last Theorem, class field theory, and p-adic numbers.
Masatoshi Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
Suzuki Lab studies analytic number theory, the branch of number theory that investigates the properties of zeta functions and L-functions. Besides classical zeta functions, the lab also studies zeta functions of arithmetic schemes and algebraic groups. The lab also works on the connections between zeta functions and other fields, such as arithmetic geometry, representation theory, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. Master's theses supervised in the lab cover a variety of topics, including the distribution of prime numbers, integer partitions, and zeros of zeta functions.
Kiyonori Gomi, Professor
0 student voices
The Gomi Lab studies topology, the area of mathematics that is closely tied to physics. The lab has also written expository articles that introduce topological insulators from the viewpoint of topology, as well as an introduction to twisted K-theory. Its papers include work on topology as it appears in condensed matter physics, such as topological insulators, and work on magnitude homology.
Hironori Oya, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Oya Lab studies representation theory in algebra, in particular Kac–Moody Lie algebras, quantum groups, and quantum cluster algebras. As quantum groups, the lab works with quantum enveloping algebras and quantum coordinate rings. In past graduation research, students have read books on Lie algebras and quantum groups, as well as books on Young diagrams, number theory, and combinatorial games. The lab welcomes lab visits from students who wish to join it at the graduate level, and online visits are also possible.
