Takahisa Yamazaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Yamazaki Lab studies how joining different types of materials (dissimilar materials) can produce new functions. It is unusual for a mechanical engineering department to have a joining lab. The lab works with diamond, carbon materials, and welding. As part of mechanical materials science, students learn about phase diagrams and heat treatment.
Takushi Saito, Professor
0 student voices
Saito Lab studies thermal management, based on heat transfer engineering, to help improve the efficiency and electrification of construction machinery. Working on "advanced energy utilization" and "elucidation of transport phenomena," the lab aims to apply techniques for combining various materials to heat transfer devices. The lab is part of the Komatsu Innovative Technology Co-creation Research Institute, a collaborative research hub jointly established by Komatsu and the university, and Prof. Saito serves as the head of the hub.
Nakano Yutaka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Nakano Lab studies the various vibrations that occur in machines and instruments, including methods to suppress vibration and methods to measure it and put it to use. It takes up self-excited vibration, chatter vibration, and disc brake squeal, and works on vibration control with dynamic vibration absorbers and on vibration monitoring. The settings it deals with range widely, from machining with machine tools to automobile brakes and support for oral surgery.
Takatoki Yamamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab studies bio-nanodevices made with microfabrication technology and their application to biosensors and healthcare devices. The lab builds sensors that read the changes in electrical signals as viruses and bacteria flow through nanochannels, and uses machine learning to identify which type they are. The lab also works on biomimetics, which creates new devices by imitating nanostructures found in living organisms.
Masafumi Okada, Professor
0 student voices
The Okada-Hijikata Lab studies the design and control of robots and medical devices, aiming for machines that are kind and useful to people. The Okada Group works on the design of mechanisms, control, and motion, based on ideas from physics and mathematics. From the viewpoint of "learning from living organisms and guiding with engineering," the Hijikata Group studies artificial hearts, artificial skin, and more, using technologies based on electromagnetics.
Hirotsugu Inoue, Professor
0 student voices
The Inoue-Sakaguchi Lab studies how materials used in automobiles, aircraft, power plants, and more deform and fail when subjected to force. The lab tackles a wide range of problems related to mechanics of materials, including elastoplasticity, fracture mechanics, and material strength. It investigates the mechanisms by which deformation and fracture progress, using information obtained from methods such as stress measurement with infrared light and defect detection with ultrasound. Based on these results, the lab publishes design guidelines for highly reliable materials and structures.
Takasi Nisisako, Professor
0 student voices
The Nisisako Lab studies fabrication and devices based on fluid phenomena at the micro- and nanoscale. The lab develops techniques to produce uniformly sized small droplets and particles inside microchannels, as well as techniques to sort particles and cells by size. Going forward, the lab hopes to further expand research in collaboration with medicine and life sciences.
Masatoshi Okutomi, Project Professor
0 student voices
The Okutomi-Monno Lab studies how to process images captured by cameras and sensors to extract information such as 3D shape and motion. The lab handles a wide variety of images, including street scenes captured by vehicle-mounted cameras, medical images from endoscopes and MRI, and images from polarization cameras. The lab also works on image restoration and recognition using deep learning. Although the lab's website is separate from the Tanaka Lab's, the two labs continue to be run in cooperation as before.
Masayuki Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab studies image processing, computer vision, and deep learning. The lab works on both the processing stage in which a camera forms an image and recognition techniques that find and track the people and objects in it. Some of its research uses light information beyond the three colors of red, green, and blue, such as polarization and hyperspectral images. The lab also pursues research that improves the training methods of deep learning models themselves.
Takayuki Ishizaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ishizaki Lab studies, from a mathematical perspective, the energy and information and communication infrastructure systems that will support future society. It focuses in particular on next-generation power systems (smart grids) that make the most of renewable energy, and on next-generation information and communication networks. The lab values an approach it calls “mathematics grounded in practice”: building mathematics from real-world problems, then applying that mathematics back to the design of real systems. The lab invites anyone to feel free to get in touch about lab visits and admissions consultations.
