Yuji Saito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Saito Lab studies space propulsion systems, such as rockets and thrusters, that involve chemical reactions. Its central theme is to elucidate the mechanisms of heat and mass transfer inside propulsion devices, which determine propulsion performance. The lab pursues two tracks side by side: fundamental research, and system demonstration and development centered on joint research. It is a new lab established on April 1, 2026, and carries out its research mainly through combustion tests.
Satoshi Ito, Associate Professor

The Ito-Ebara-Shishido Lab studies the technologies and systems of fusion reactors, which are being developed as the power plants of the future. The lab conducts research, development, and design on superconducting magnets, blankets that breed fuel, and cooling of divertors that receive intense heat. It also studies fundamental technologies for improving the reliability of nuclear power plants currently in use. Its research falls under "integrated energy engineering," which covers a wide range of fields including fluid engineering, heat transfer, electromagnetics, and mechanics of materials.
Yuji Hatano, Professor

The Hatano-Oono Lab studies materials science to enable fusion energy to be put to use in society sooner. Fusion reactor materials are exposed to hydrogen isotope plasma and high-energy neutron irradiation. The lab develops plasma-facing materials that can withstand these conditions and investigates the effects of neutron irradiation. It also works on research to safely control tritium, which is both a fuel and a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Masayuki Watanabe, Professor

The Watanabe Lab studies how nuclides move when radioactive waste is disposed of underground. The use of large-scale energy sources such as nuclear power and nuclear fusion involves the generation of radioactive materials. The lab investigates how nuclides migrate in environments with groundwater, from a perspective that treats energy and material flows as a whole. Building a repository requires large amounts of cement-based materials, so how those materials change after backfilling is also a subject of research.
Mitsuhiro Fujiwara, Assistant Professor

The Energy Physics and Engineering Education Division (Fujiwara Lab) takes nuclear education and educational activities for coexistence with nuclear power as its research themes. In its materials research, the lab investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-temperature-oxidized V-Ti-Cr alloys. In Tohoku University's researcher profile, the research keywords listed are nuclear education, energy materials, and beam applications, and the research field listed is materials for fusion reactors.
Yutaka Watanabe, Professor

The Watanabe-Abe Lab conducts research that supports the safety of nuclear power generation. The lab believes that Japan, which has no energy resources of its own, cannot do without coexisting with nuclear power. Aiming for nuclear power that is safer and can be used for longer, the lab investigates the aging degradation of plant structural materials and countermeasures against it. In particular, it works to elucidate the mechanism of stress corrosion cracking, a form of degradation that determines the service life of structures.
Noritaka Yusa, Professor
0 student voices
The Yusa-Yoshioka Lab studies nondestructive testing and materials evaluation to maintain the integrity of structures. It develops techniques that use electromagnetic phenomena and vibration to examine internal damage without destroying the object. The lab also works on signal and image processing, probabilistic signal analysis, and, through that, the development of models for optimizing structural maintenance. Its methods are roughly half experiments and half numerical analysis, and it also develops analog games for energy and environmental education.
Shigeo Matsuyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuyama-Kada Lab studies techniques that use ion beams and neutron beams from accelerators to "see," "measure," and "evaluate" matter, life, and the space environment. It works on quantum imaging, which turns elements and luminescence in microscopic regions into images, and on accelerator-based neutron sources and detection technology. The lab studies everything from device development to measurement and data analysis, including evaluating the effects of radiation on devices and materials for use in space. Research is mainly carried out at the Fast Neutron Laboratory of Tohoku University, and many of the instruments were built in the course of writing bachelor's, master's, and doctoral theses.
Yohei Kikuchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kikuchi Lab studies medical imaging technologies that use radiation and quantum beams, such as X-ray CT, image-guided surgery, and PET. Medical imaging is indispensable to modern medicine, and it is becoming increasingly important not only for diagnosis but also for treatments that cure without cutting. The lab understands hardware and software together as a single "system" and develops technologies to improve its performance. It also conducts interdisciplinary research that integrates the sciences and humanities, incorporating perspectives from neuroscience and psychology to evaluate and optimize the technologies it develops.
Miho Shidahara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shidahara Lab studies techniques and evaluation methods for medical engineering (including nuclear medicine) that use radiation and radioisotopes. The lab aims to contribute to future medicine by developing methods that are highly practical and useful. It works on techniques that improve the quantitative accuracy of biological functions observed with quantum technologies. It is also advancing techniques that simulate medical examinations on a computer, as well as the evaluation of medical radiation exposure associated with diagnosis and treatment.
