Matsuhiko Nishizawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishizawa Lab develops devices that combine biological components such as cells and proteins with soft, wet materials. Its main pillars are biofuel cells and sensors, cell and tissue chips, hydrogel electrodes, skin iontronics, and biodelivery. Based on mechanical engineering and materials science, it is an experimental lab that tackles bio and medical topics in collaboration with Tohoku University Hospital. No prior knowledge is required, and lab visits are accepted at any time.
Takuji Ishikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishikawa Lab applies biomechanics to study flows related to living things, such as blood flow and the swimming of microorganisms. It is a biofluid mechanics lab belonging to the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Finemechanics in the Graduate School of Engineering, and calls itself the "Ishikawa/Kikuchi/Omori Lab" on its website. Its research spans medicine, fluids, the environment, robotics, food, biology, and evolution. The lab carries out its research in collaboration with medical school and biology experts, the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency, and others.
Takuji Ishikawa, Professor

The Kikuchi Lab studies biological fluid mechanics, which deals with flows related to living things, such as the flight of birds and the swimming of fish. It presents research that applies biomechanics across a wide range of fields, from medicine and food to the evolution of living things. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Ishikawa/Kikuchi/Omori Lab" as the biofluid mechanics group of the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the Graduate School of Engineering.
Taku Ohara, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohara Lab studies liquids, soft matter, and their interfaces, investigating the molecular motion that determines their properties. Macroscopic properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and interfacial tension are determined by molecular motion at much finer scales. Analyzing this motion shows how a medium should be designed to obtain a targeted property. Unlike solids, where phonon theory gives a clear picture, liquids lack such a well-developed theory, so molecular dynamics simulation, which follows molecular motion computationally, is a powerful tool.
SURBLYS Donatas, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The SURBLYS Lab uses molecular dynamics analysis to study phenomena that occur at the interfaces of liquids and soft matter. Technologies that use nanoscale structures have advanced, such as semiconductor lithography, self-assembly, and carbon nanotube synthesis. Inside such fine structures, the properties of liquids and soft matter clearly differ from those in the bulk. The resistance to heat transfer that appears as interfacial thermal resistance is a phenomenon that macroscopic fluid dynamics cannot fundamentally explain.
Gota Kikukawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Kikukawa Lab studies thermo-fluid phenomena involving molecular-level physics through numerical simulation. In particular, understanding heat flow at interfaces and similar phenomena from the molecular scale is essential for heat dissipation in semiconductor devices and for the design of new polymer materials. Using large-scale numerical simulation, including molecular dynamics, the lab investigates how heat and matter are transported at the microscale. Based on its findings, the lab aims to contribute to industry, such as semiconductor processes and the development of polymer materials.
Takashi Tokumasu, Professor
0 student voices
The Tokumasu Lab studies flows that occur at the nanoscale from the perspective of how atoms and molecules behave. Using supercomputers, the lab investigates the behavior of atoms and molecules through numerical simulation. The knowledge gained is applied to next-generation industrial technologies, especially battery technology. Research is organized into three groups: fuel cells, secondary batteries, and semiconductors.
Kazuhiko Endo, Professor
0 student voices
The Endo Lab aims to control the flow of information and energy through semiconductor technology. The lab brings new processes, materials, deposition methods, and structures to tiny silicon nanodevices, working to improve performance and break through the limits of the technology. It is a hands-on experimental lab, and members sometimes assemble or build equipment by hand. The lab uses joint laboratories at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan as bases, and there are opportunities to go overseas.
Wataru Yashiro, Professor
0 student voices
The Yashiro Lab develops X-ray imaging technologies that go beyond previous limits. We live in a 4D world made up of three dimensions of space and time, but at scales below a micrometer and below a millisecond lies an unknown world that even cutting-edge measurement cannot reach. The lab uses the quantum nature of high-energy beams, such as those from the high-brilliance synchrotron radiation facility NanoTerasu and medical X-ray sources, and combines it with micro/nano-fabrication and data science techniques. With new measurement technologies, the lab takes on the challenge of opening up the uncharted 4D world.
Daichi Chiba, Professor
0 student voices
As a member of the Smart Lab for Nanomaterial Function Creation, the Chiba Lab uses nano ultrathin films and nanomagnets to create new material functions. The lab focuses on greatly changing the spacing between atoms, which determines the properties of a solid, by using ultrathin films that can stretch and contract. Centered on magnetic properties, that is, the physical properties of spin, the lab proposes ways to control them and links this work to sensing technology that detects force. The lab belongs to the International Center for Synchrotron Radiation Innovation Smart, where it works on using NanoTerasu, making use of all kinds of measurement methods, and conducting international collaborative research.
