Takashi Tokuda, Professor
1 student voices
The Tokuda Lab researches new device technologies that combine semiconductor materials, electronic circuits, and device processes. In particular, it works on biosensors including image sensors, ultra-small medical devices that can be implanted in the body, and IoT/IoE. One pillar of its research is technology for running electronic devices of a few millimeters or less on power delivered by light. The lab belongs to the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology, Institute of Integrated Research, and its students are assigned from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, School of Engineering.
Tetsuo Kodera, Professor
1 student voices
The Kodera Lab conducts research to realize quantum computers using semiconductors such as silicon. Electrons and other particles are confined in fine semiconductor structures called quantum dots, and their spins are used as qubits. A strength of this approach is that it can draw on the semiconductor manufacturing technology used in PCs and smartphones. To operate quantum computer devices, the lab conducts experiments using refrigerators that can cool to near absolute zero and low-noise control and measurement equipment.
Kentaro Nakamura, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies sensors and actuators that use ultrasound and light waves. The lab aims to use ultrasound and light to realize sensors and actuators that are difficult to build with other methods. Its work includes motors driven by ultrasonic vibration and sensors that use optical fibers to measure stretching and temperature. Each student takes charge of one theme on their own and is involved in everything from design to prototyping, analysis, and evaluation.
Hiroshi Akatsuka, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Akatsuka Lab researches plasma science and engineering, centered on plasma spectroscopy. The lab builds numerical models of how atoms and molecules emit light inside plasma, and combines them with simple spectroscopic measurements to develop methods for determining the state of a plasma. It also does fundamental research on flows of weakly ionized plasma that expand at supersonic speed. This is a field that draws on knowledge of physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, and people from a wide range of departments are active in it.
Hiroyuki Ito, Professor
1 student voices
The Ito Lab studies analog integrated circuit and integrated MEMS technologies, and their applications. Aiming at electronics for sustainable medicine, healthcare, and food production, the lab develops technologies that measure people, animals, and the environment by focusing on "vibration." Centered on silicon integrated circuit technology, the lab pursues higher sensitivity in sensors and lower power consumption in wireless sensors. Alongside its research, the lab also works in parallel on efforts to put the technologies it develops to use in society.
Pham Nam Hai, Professor
1 student voices
The Pham Lab studies materials and devices for spin-based semiconductors, which combine the features of semiconductors and magnetic materials. Semiconductors operate quickly, while magnetic materials can store data without consuming power, so combining the two is expected to yield devices with extremely high energy efficiency. The lab works on "spin device engineering," which spans materials engineering, solid-state physics, and device engineering. The lab is conducting research on SOT-MRAM, a low-power next-generation memory that uses topological insulators, jointly with companies.
Mahfuzul Islam, Associate Professor
1 student voices
Islam Lab studies low-power circuits and next-generation computing technology. The lab aims to realize electronic systems that are both energy-efficient and high-performance, for IoT devices and edge devices. Its scope ranges from power supply circuits essential to smartphones and PCs, to mixed analog-digital circuits, to new computing approaches such as computing-in-memory. A newly started lab, it welcomes visits and consultations.
Masato Motomura, Professor
1 student voices
The Motomura-Fujiki Lab researches information processing architectures and hardware for AI workloads. The two labs work together as the AI Computing Research Unit (ArtIC), launched in April 2019. The labs approach problems from both the software and hardware sides, and value coming up with ideas different from others, not just improving performance numbers. The Motomura Lab is not accepting new students; students who wish to join ArtIC are advised to apply to the Fujiki Lab.
Momoko Nakatani, Professor
1 student voices
The Nakatani Lab studies methodologies for creating services through "co-creation" and "dialogue," as well as the design of the information and communication technology that supports them. The lab goes out to a variety of real-world settings to explore the underlying issues, and takes the process of developing solutions itself as an object of study. Currently it focuses particularly on care, such as childcare, parenting, and elder care, and works on issues such as relieving social isolation. Those who wish to join the lab or go on to its graduate program are expected to attend an information session in advance and receive an explanation of the research from the faculty.
Takayuki Nishio, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Nishio Lab conducts interdisciplinary research centered on wireless communications and linked with computer vision and machine learning. Under the banner of "integration of computing, communications, and sensing," the lab explores next-generation technologies for the IoT (Internet of Things), in which all kinds of things connect to the internet. It develops methods to predict the strength of invisible radio waves from camera images, and mechanisms for devices on a network to learn cooperatively. It is a relatively new lab, established in October 2020.
