Akira Ishikawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ishikawa Lab studies how the solid Earth has evolved from its birth to the present. Its clues are natural rocks and minerals collected through fieldwork and research cruises. In particular, the lab reads the information recorded in rocks and minerals that came from the mantle, deep within the Earth.

Junichi Nakajima, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakajima Lab studies the mechanisms of earthquakes and volcanic activity in subduction zones. When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves are generated and travel through the Earth's interior. By analyzing observed seismic waves, the lab investigates where earthquakes occurred, how faults slip, where magma reservoirs are located, and more. The lab covers a wide range of topics, from how earthquakes occur to plate structure, the deep parts of volcanoes, and mantle convection.

Kenji Ohta, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohta Lab studies how materials inside the Earth and planets behave under high pressure. Using a device called a diamond anvil cell, the lab creates ultrahigh pressures like those in the deep Earth and conducts experiments. It examines the crystal structure of minerals and how they conduct electricity and heat, using the results as clues to the behavior of the Earth and planets over long timescales. The lab also works on developing new methods for measuring the properties of minerals under extreme conditions.

Bun'Ei Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato Lab is an observational astronomy lab that studies planets orbiting stars other than the Sun (exoplanets). Through observations with large telescopes, the lab discovers diverse planetary systems around a variety of stars and clarifies their properties. Based on these results, it aims to achieve a unified understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve. The lab's research covers not only exoplanets themselves but also planet-hosting stars, observing instruments, and data analysis methods.

Tetsuya Yokoyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Yokoyama Lab studies how the universe and Earth formed and evolved. Its clues are the isotope ratios of elements contained in meteorites and other samples. Using instruments called mass spectrometers, the lab measures isotope ratios with extremely high precision. It tackles a wide range of topics, from the origin of the elements to the evolution of the early solar system, planetary differentiation, and the formation of Mars and Earth.

Satoshi Okuzumi, Professor
0 student voices
The Okuzumi Lab studies how planets are born and the protoplanetary disks in which they form. Planets are built in disks of gas containing dust that surround young stars. The lab mainly uses theoretical models and computer simulations, and also collaborates with experts in astronomical observation and the analysis of Solar System materials. The lab's research centers on the intersection of astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary science.

Taishi Nakamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamoto Lab conducts theoretical research in astronomy and planetary science. Its goal is to clarify how stars and planetary systems are born. With the keywords "disks, dust, and radiation," the lab advances its research through computer simulations and other methods. Its work covers protoplanetary disks where planets form, the birth of massive stars, and the atmospheres of exoplanets.

Satomi Kawamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawamoto Lab studies space debris countermeasures to protect the orbital environment around Earth. In addition to debris modeling, mitigation, and removal, the creation of international rules is also a subject of its research. The lab also works on space traffic management, space situational awareness, and new space systems such as large structures and tethers.

Chiaki Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato-Sekiguchi Lab studies problems of parts joined with adhesives (adhesive joints), based on mechanics of materials. Focusing on adhesion phenomena and the mechanics of adhesive joints, the lab aims to solve a wide range of manufacturing problems. Its work has included measuring the fracture resistance of adhesives, the effects of water entering bonded areas, and sealing technology for fuel cells. The lab is divided into Prof. Sato's group and Associate Professor Sekiguchi's group.

古川 克子, Professor
0 student voices
The Furukawa Lab studies the regeneration of a variety of organs from the perspective of biomechanics. It works on techniques for sorting stem cells, techniques for controlling stem cell differentiation with mechanical stimulation, and the design of culture devices that apply stimulation (bioreactors). By investigating mechanics from single cells to complex tissues, the lab explores the relationship between organ regeneration and the loss of organ function. The lab aims to regenerate organs that continue to function over a long period.
