Eiji Tada, Professor
0 student voices
The Tada Lab studies the mechanisms by which metal materials dissolve and degrade in the environments where they are used. It works with objects of vastly different sizes, from nanoscale catalysts to meter-scale structures. Using electrochemical measurement methods, the lab investigates how corrosion progresses and builds the fundamentals that lead to corrosion protection and longer service life. It also develops methods for evaluating corrosion and monitoring techniques for tracking its progress.
Tetsuji Yano, Professor

The Yano Lab studies glass and amorphous materials broadly, from basic science to applied technology. Its work covers fundamentals such as the structure and properties of glass, as well as optical, electronic, and mechanical devices and biomaterials. The lab is also developing next-generation process technologies, including high-throughput experiments, laser processing, 3D fabrication, optical tweezers, and the solidification of radioactive waste. It also conducts joint research with researchers overseas, including in France, Switzerland, the United States, the Czech Republic, and Italy.
Yoshisato Kimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kimura Lab studies metallic materials that contribute to the efficient use of energy. Its main targets are thermoelectric materials, which convert wasted heat into electricity, and heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. By gaining a deep understanding of the relationship between a material's microstructure and its properties, the lab aims to design materials that deliver higher performance and help build a sustainable society. By designing how atoms are arranged and which phases form inside a material, the lab works to achieve both strength and fracture resistance.
Yoshitaka Kitamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Kitamoto Lab studies the magnetic phenomena exhibited by magnetic materials of nanometer size. Small magnets and magnetic phenomena support people's lives and health in electronic devices such as hard disks and in medical settings. Working with nanoparticles and structures fabricated at the nanoscale, the lab aims to create magnetic device technologies that enable life innovation. Making magnetic materials and understanding magnetic phenomena require many disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, and electrical engineering.
Tsuyoshi Michinobu, Professor
0 student voices
The Michinobu Lab develops functional polymer materials that make use of the optical and electronic properties of conjugated electron systems. The lab studies efficient synthesis of semiconducting polymers for organic solar cells and organic transistors. The lab is also working on making polymers that can be shaped and processed from lignin, a component of woody biomass. Each student has an independent topic and conducts research through molecular design, synthesis experiments, structural analysis, and evaluation of physical properties.
Akira Nakajima, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakajima-Isobe Lab creates functional materials and separation technologies based on materials science. Issues such as global warming, water resources, environmental pollution, public health, and energy are intricately intertwined. In collaboration with different fields such as chemical engineering, environmental engineering, data science, and social science, the lab develops materials that are useful for a carbon-neutral society and for the conservation of the water environment. The lab aims not only to make materials but also to deliver its results to society through industry-academia-government collaboration and international joint research.
Nobuo Nakada, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakada Lab studies how to make structural metal materials, especially steel, stronger and tougher. Steel is used in automobiles, railways, large bridges, and skyscrapers, and accounts for more than 95% of all metals by weight. By adjusting alloy composition and applying heat and stress from outside, the lab controls the metal's microstructure as desired. Exploring the science of metal microstructure and mechanical properties, the lab aims to make steel materials just a little stronger and more resistant to fracture.
Kan Nakatsuji, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakatsuji Lab studies the construction of nanoscale structures, atom by atom, on solid surfaces and interfaces. By controlling the structure and symmetry of surfaces, the lab aims to artificially create new two-dimensional and one-dimensional electronic and spin states. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, it directly observes how surface electrons spread out as waves. Its research lies in the boundary area where chemistry, electronic engineering, and materials science overlap, with physics at the center.
Shi Ji, Professor
0 student voices
The Shi-Harumoto Lab studies the physical properties of functional nano thin films, based on metal physics and diffraction crystallography. In thin films, surfaces and interfaces make up a large proportion, and when the thickness reaches the nanometer scale, properties different from those of bulk materials appear. The lab makes thin films by controlling crystal structure, growth mode, and surface condition, and examines their properties with electron microscopes and X-ray diffractometers. Within the materials field, it is a lab where students can learn subjects close to condensed matter physics, such as electron motion and electrical conduction.
Satoru Kobayashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies the reliability evaluation and performance improvement of heat-resistant metallic materials used in thermal power generation and aircraft engines. Even in a society moving toward decarbonization, thermal power generation remains indispensable, and aircraft engines are required to be more efficient than ever. The work proceeds along three axes: changes in materials exposed to high-temperature hydrogen, creep fatigue under repeated operation, and the design of new materials. In every study, the lab examines the fine microstructure that determines a metal's properties and traces its relationship to strength at high temperatures.
