Ken Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Ken Suzuki's lab works in mechanics of materials and mechanical engineering materials, studying the strain applied to materials and changes at the interfaces of joints. The lab has researched designing electronic structure by combining the shape of graphene nanoribbons with internal strain, and applying it to strain sensors, gas sensors, and optical sensors. In recent years, it has been using first-principles calculations and other methods to study how strain applied to graphene controls the adsorption behavior of gas molecules. Currently, the lab is working to elucidate the mechanism by which the resin–metal interface in power devices peels off over long-term use. In Tohoku University's researcher profiles, Professor Suzuki is listed as a professor at the Green Cross-Tech Research Center, Green Goals Initiative.
Makoto Ohta, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohta Lab aims to develop medical devices useful for treatment and to establish new therapies. The lab works on biomodels that reproduce the shape and properties of biological tissue, and on methods for making them. Using polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel, the lab was the first in the world to develop a blood vessel model that reproduces the mechanical properties of blood vessels. The lab pursues joint development with medical sites, medical device manufacturers, and a venture company established by the lab, and also accepts international students and exchanges with overseas universities.
Hitomi Anzai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Anzai Lab studies blood flow with computer-based analysis, with the aim of helping to diagnose and predict disease. In computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, the lab calculates flow velocity and pressure to visualize how blood flows. In machine learning, the lab predicts blood flow instantly from images and builds standard vessel geometries that show diseases quantitatively and objectively. The lab develops technology jointly with clinical sites and medical device manufacturers, and also accepts international students and exchanges with overseas universities.
Kenichi Funamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Funamoto Lab pursues interdisciplinary research that builds on fluid engineering and integrates biomedical engineering and cell biology. The lab develops biomimetic chips, which are microfluidic devices that recreate the microenvironment inside the body outside the body. The lab also works on measurement-integrated blood flow simulation, which combines medical measurement with numerical analysis. The lab investigates how cells respond in the body's environment, which changes over time and space, and how cells influence each other and the surrounding tissue.
Zihao Wang, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Wang Lab studies the mechanisms by which mechanical materials degrade over long periods of time. Toward a decarbonized society, the lab uses cutting-edge nanoscale analysis techniques to investigate, at multiple scales, the structure of materials placed in harsh environments. Using in situ observation and testing methods, the lab elucidates the process by which materials fail from a mechanistic perspective and visualizes it. By combining experiments and computation, the lab aims to contribute to the development of next-generation structural materials.
Mizue Mizoshiri, Professor
0 student voices
The Mizoshiri Lab studies how to create fine metal structures using femtosecond laser light. The lab is working on a new process that uses metal oxide nanoparticles as raw material to fabricate three-dimensional metal and semiconductor microstructures in air. The lab also studies the mechanism by which metal is reduced and deposited when the laser is applied. The lab is also developing sensors for detecting glucose, using electrodes written with a laser.
Mitsuhiro Hayashibe, Professor
0 student voices
The Hayashibe-Zhu Lab is a neurorobotics lab that combines neuroscience, robotics, biosignal processing, and AI. The lab investigates how nerves produce human movement and applies those ideas to robot control and motor learning. It works on research in which robots learn how to move through deep reinforcement learning, and on research related to gait rehabilitation for stroke patients. The lab belongs to both the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, and conducts interdisciplinary research that integrates medicine and engineering.
Dai Owaki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Owaki Lab is a lab in the Neurorobotics area of the Department of Robotics, Graduate School of Engineering, and is introduced on the same lab website as the Hayashibe Lab. The lab website describes neurorobotics as a combination of neuroscience, robotics, biosignal processing, and AI. The Hayashibe Lab also belongs to the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, and the lab website explains that it conducts interdisciplinary research integrating medicine and engineering in a global environment.
Yasuhisa Hirata, Professor
0 student voices
The Hirata-Dong Lab studies AI robots that support people and systems in which multiple robots work together. In preparation for a super-aged society, the lab develops human-assistive robots for nursing care and healthcare. It also works on next-generation industrial robots that handle hard-to-manipulate deformable objects, as well as new 3D printing technologies. Beyond engineering, the lab will also pursue interdisciplinary research with other fields, including psychology, robot ethics, and robot law.
Satoshi Murata, Professor
0 student voices
The Murata-Abe Lab works in molecular robotics, building "molecular robots" from biomolecules. It designs nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids from scratch and has them self-assemble into machines on the nanometer scale. In a field where engineering, informatics, chemistry, and biology overlap, the lab aims to build systems that integrate molecular components corresponding to sensors, processors, and motors. Undergraduate students belong to the molecular robotics area and hold lab seminars and lab events together with the Nomura Lab.
