Hiroya Nakao, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakao Lab studies nonlinear dynamics and stochastic processes that occur in a wide variety of real-world systems from a mathematical standpoint. It seeks to uncover the mechanisms shared by diverse phenomena, from physics and chemistry to mechanical and electrical engineering and living systems. Using theory and numerical simulation, the lab investigates synchronization, in which rhythms become aligned, and the vibrations of machines and structures subjected to irregular fluctuations. It also aims to apply the findings to control and design.
Takeshi Hatanaka, Professor
1 student voices
The Hatanaka Lab studies large-scale systems in which information (cyber), physical, and human elements influence one another. It explores the fundamental principles for coordinating people and society with networked control systems through distributed decision-making. The main application areas are smart agriculture, smart technologies for the skies and seas, and energy management. Beyond theory, the lab works on the social implementation of robot networks and human-robot collaboration through interdisciplinary joint research.
Hideyuki Tsukagoshi, Professor
1 student voices
The Tsukagoshi Lab studies “fluid robotics,” which combines the properties of fluids with robotics. The lab connects sensing, information processing, and motion through “fluid signals,” aiming for robots that adapt flexibly to their environment like an amoeba. Robots driven by fluids yield gently to external forces and can squeeze into narrow spaces. The lab sees its main arenas as places that electronically controlled robots cannot enter, such as medical and caregiving settings where electric shock or ignition is unacceptable, the inside of MRI scanners, and outer space.
Seiichiro Hara, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Hara Lab studies both creating and measuring the shapes of objects in the field of precision machining and measurement. Its aim is to connect people's natural understanding with engineering functions and with the shapes, structures, and motions that realize them. Building on this, the lab aims to contribute to society by creating new functions and improving performance. The faculty's research areas are surface profile measurement, measurement data processing, quality engineering, and machining and measurement.
Masatsugu Takemoto, Professor
1 student voices
Takemoto-Kiyota Lab studies new motors that contribute to energy saving and the reduction of greenhouse gases. One line of research is the switched reluctance motor, which achieves high performance without rare-earth magnets and is intended for use in electric and hybrid vehicles. The other is the magnetically levitated bearingless motor, which uses no bearings and instead levitates and supports the rotating shaft with electromagnetic force. Combining electrical, mechanical, information, and electronic engineering, the lab places importance on actually designing, prototyping, and testing motors.
Takahiro Urakabe, Project Professor
1 student voices
The Urakabe-Harada Lab is a joint lab with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation that develops core technologies for power electronics. The lab researches power electronics technologies for using electricity efficiently and stably, from generation to consumption. Working together with members of the power electronics labs at Institute of Science Tokyo, the lab advances power semiconductor, electric circuit, and control technologies. The lab works on electric circuits for making full use of power semiconductor devices, and on circuit configurations that reduce power loss.
Kei Sakaguchi, Professor
1 student voices
The Sakaguchi Lab (formerly the Araki-Sakaguchi Lab) studies wireless technologies, building on wireless communication systems. Its work is wide-ranging, from theoretical analysis to hardware implementation, building measurement systems, and field trials. Together with companies in Japan and abroad, it develops new wireless applications and takes part in setting standards for next-generation wireless systems. The lab is run jointly with the Tan Lab.
Atsushi Shirane, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Shirane Lab studies integrated circuits for wireless communication and wireless power transfer. To extend the reach of wireless communication into space, the lab builds radios and wireless ICs to be mounted on satellites. Using wireless power transfer, which sends power by radio waves, the lab also aims to realize radios that need no power source. As the power used for communication keeps growing, the lab works on research into wireless devices that are gentle on the global environment.
Keigo Arai, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Arai Lab studies quantum sensing using "NV centers" in diamond. By combining quantum sensing with computational informatics, the lab aims for innovation that it calls "quantum transformation." The lab works to develop quantum sensors that precisely measure nanoscale magnetic fields and temperature into measurement tools that can be used outside the laboratory. Students can experience the whole research process, from theory and numerical simulation to building equipment, experiments, data analysis, and presentations.
Nobuhiko Nishiyama, Professor
1 student voices
Nishiyama Lab studies optoelectronics, in particular photonic-electronic integrated circuits centered on semiconductor lasers. It aims to realize low-power, efficient, high-capacity optical communication and optical sensors. The lab works broadly, from circuit design to materials, crystal growth, device fabrication, and evaluation, using state-of-the-art facilities. A distinctive strength is the ability to make optical devices such as semiconductor lasers starting from crystal growth, and the lab conducts joint research with many companies.
