Takehito Shimatsu, Professor
0 student voices
Shimatsu Lab researches technology for bonding wafers of semiconductors, ceramics, and other materials at room temperature, and magnetic thin films with large magnetic anisotropy. Using ultra-high vacuum technology, the lab makes thin films in a clean environment and controls their structure, covering research from materials development to device applications. Beyond information and communications, the lab collaborates with researchers at universities and companies in fields such as space science, precision instruments, automobiles, and medicine to create new devices and equipment. The lab's official affiliation is the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences, but because of its experimental facilities, it mainly conducts research at the Research Institute of Electrical Communication.

Shoji Ikeda, Professor

The Nano Spin Memory [Ikeda] Lab works jointly with the Fukami Lab and others. The website of the Fukami-Kanai Lab, with which the lab works jointly, describes research in spintronics, which uses both the charge and the spin of electrons at the same time. The site states the aim of uncovering new physical phenomena and contributing to the realization of high-performance, low-power electronics and information processing and communication. The research introduced on the site spans multiple areas, including MRAM (a type of non-volatile memory), probabilistic computers, and quantum materials.

Takashi Watanabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Watanabe Lab conducts research in biomedical engineering that applies functional electrical stimulation (FES) and motion sensing to support patients with motor impairments. The lab aims to develop technologies that enable motor control and motor relearning in people whose motor function is paralyzed. It is creating new methods and systems for the reconstruction of motor function, rehabilitation support, everyday healthcare, and improved information accessibility. The lab is presented on its website under the name “Watanabe Lab.”

Tetsuya Kodama, Professor

The lab conducts research to clarify the mechanism of lymph node metastasis and to create new cancer therapies. Using nanotechnology, it investigates how cancer spreads via the lymph nodes. The lab has also developed “lymphatic drug delivery,” in which an anticancer drug is injected directly into a lymph node so that it reaches the downstream lymph nodes as well. The lab is presented on its website under the name “Kodama Lab.”

Yoshifumi Saijo, Professor
0 student voices
The Medical Imaging Lab researches medical imaging technologies that use ultrasound to examine conditions inside the body without damaging it. The lab combines a wide range of engineering methods, from the design of ultrasonic transducers to signal and image processing, optical systems, and artificial intelligence engineering. Prof. Saijo is in charge of both the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the Graduate School of Medicine, and graduate students from each school conduct research together. The lab is located in the Electronic Information Systems and Applied Physics Building 1 on Aobayama Campus and in the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer on Seiryo Campus.

Makoto Kanzaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Pathological Nanosystems Biomedical Engineering Lab uses new bioimaging technology to study how supramolecular complexes made of many molecules are regulated in time and space. In particular, it aims to clarify the causes of "biological nanosystem disorders" that occur in lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and in diseases of higher-order nervous system function. It also aims to apply the technology to the development of treatments and diagnostics from new perspectives. The lab also works on creating higher-function cells using the latest cell engineering and genetic engineering.

Takahiro Ishinabe, Professor

The Information Kansei Engineering Lab conducts research with the goal of building display technology that controls the texture of digital information. It clarifies how people feel and receive information, that is, the relationship between human sensibility (kansei) and information. It aims for a state in which digital information shown on a display looks like a real object. As the fusion of the real and digital worlds becomes increasingly important, the lab believes that building information systems that place little burden on people and are gentle to them is essential for realizing a sustainable society.

Mikihiko Oogane, Professor
0 student voices
The Oogane-Nakano Lab (Spin Electronics Division) aims to realize brain information acquisition devices using quantum spintronics sensors (TMR sensors). With the goal of devices usable "anytime, anywhere, by anyone," the lab works on developing new materials and devices, as well as integration, circuit, and AI technologies. Applications listed for TMR sensors include medicine and healthcare, infrastructure inspection, current sensors, position detection sensors, and resource exploration. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Oogane Lab."

Takashi Yoshidome, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshidome Lab (Mathematical Physics Division) studies the behavior of water around proteins (hydration) and related phenomena using liquid-state theory and machine learning. Its research keywords include liquid-state theory, proteins, solvation and hydration, and manifold learning. Electron microscopy and coherent X-ray diffraction imaging are also among its research keywords. At the undergraduate level, the lab supervises students in the Applied Physics Course.

Yukihiro Shimizu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shimizu Lab (Fundamental Physical Properties Division) studies quantum computing algorithms for systems with many degrees of freedom, as well as catalysis science, from a theoretical standpoint. Members' research topics include work on new quantum algorithms related to the variational quantum simulator (VQS). The lab's logo is designed with inspiration from quantum circuits. "Fundamental physical properties" is one of the names traditionally used for research fields in applied physics at Tohoku University.
