Hiroshi Sasaki, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Sasaki Lab (CARAS Lab) conducts research to improve the security, power efficiency, and reliability of computer systems. Centered on computer architecture, the lab takes a broad view that extends from system software, such as operating systems, to applications. Rather than chasing trends, the lab wants to carry out highly original research that will continue to be read for a long time. The lab has no core hours, and meetings are held one-on-one with a faculty member as a rule.
Takashi Obi, Professor
1 student voices
Obi Lab studies image processing technologies that help elucidate biological functions, and social information system technologies for the safe use of medical and other information. The lab belongs to the Convergence Value Co-Creation Research Center in the Institute of Integrated Research and to the Institute of Future Industrial Technology, and accepts students from the Department of Information and Communications Engineering in the School of Engineering. Because the lab works closely with the center's faculty, students can choose research topics from a wide range of medical and social information fields.
Isao Yamada, Professor
1 student voices
The Yamada Lab studies, from a mathematical standpoint, algorithms for solving problems in signal processing, machine learning, optimization, and inverse problems. Building on fixed point theory and computer algebra, the lab aims to create and systematize universal algorithms that are broadly applicable to data science and signal processing. The algorithms the lab develops are applied to inverse problems in fields such as imaging, acoustics, communications, and geophysical exploration. Note: The lab is not currently recruiting new members.
Atsushi Takahashi, Professor
1 student voices
Takahashi Lab studies techniques for automating the design of VLSI (very large-scale integrated circuits), especially the automation of physical design. As circuits continue to shrink, how circuits are placed and wired on a chip has come to have a major effect on their performance. The lab's research centers on physical design problems such as clock design, floorplanning, placement, routing, and packaging. The ultimate goal is to build more practical, high-performance VLSI design systems.
Yuki Inoue, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Inoue Lab studies management, centering on innovation management. It covers a wide range of topics, including technology management, business strategy, platform strategy, and e-commerce (EC). Interested in the problem that "superior technology does not necessarily lead to business success," the lab conducts its research mainly through data analysis. The lab aims to uncover the mechanisms by which innovation emerges and to make them practically usable in society.
Hiroshi Morita, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Morita Lab studies macroeconomics and time series analysis. Using both theory and empirical analysis, the lab clarifies the channels through which the shocks that cause business fluctuations travel through the economy. Associate Professor Morita has published papers on topics such as the relationship between the effects of fiscal policy and population aging and, as a co-author, the impact of uncertainty about the future on the economy. Associate Professor Morita has also written a book on macroeconomic analysis using time series methods, and has made the programs used in that analysis publicly available on a website.
Takeo Hori, Professor
1 student voices
The Hori Lab studies macroeconomics, with a central focus on economic growth. The lab focuses on technological progress and theoretically analyzes how economies grow. Another research interest is the analysis of economies with many heterogeneous households and firms. The lab has also worked on research dealing with topics such as the relationship between asset bubbles and aggregate demand.
Miyuki Hayashi, Professor
1 student voices
The Hayashi Lab focuses on 'carbon-neutral ironmaking,' which reduces carbon dioxide emissions. The lab works on iron raw materials suited to blast furnaces that use a large amount of hydrogen, lubricants (mold fluxes) used in casting high-grade steel, and methods of using steelmaking slag in cement. The lab also pursues research that applies high-temperature physical chemistry to industry, such as the recycling of non-ferrous materials.
Masaki Azuma, Professor
1 student voices
The Azuma Lab studies transition metal oxides that exhibit functions such as magnetism, ferroelectricity, and superconductivity. Using high-pressure synthesis, the method used to make diamonds, and thin-film growth on single-crystal substrates, the lab explores new functional oxides and mixed-anion compounds. Its targets include negative thermal expansion materials that shrink when heated, lead-free piezoelectrics, and materials that combine the properties of a magnet and a capacitor. Using synchrotron X-rays and neutron beams, the lab detects subtle changes in crystal structure and clarifies how the functions arise.
Tomohiro Hayashi, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Hayashi Lab studies molecular-level events at “biointerfaces,” where artificial materials meet the body. Whether materials such as contact lenses, artificial joints, and catheters are compatible with the body is determined by what water, proteins, and cells do within just a few nanometers of the surface. The lab “sees” and understands what happens there using measurement methods it develops itself, and connects this understanding to the design of new biomaterials. Members from many different countries carry out research while discussing it daily in English and Japanese.
