Hisashi Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
Nakamura-Kanayama Lab studies reactive flow fields related to propulsion systems such as aerospace vehicles and to energy conversion equipment, working to uncover and model their chemical reactions. The lab uncovers and models the chemical reactions of decarbonized and low-carbon fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen, and biofuels. It also works on advancing the methods of fundamental experiments that use micro flow reactors and counterflow flames. Based on an understanding of the chemical reactions of battery electrolytes, refrigerants, and the flame retardants added to them, the lab aims to reduce fires.

Toshinori Kuwahara, Professor

Kuwahara Lab focuses on the dynamics and control of space systems and works on space development, utilization, and exploration with small space systems. The lab studies orbit and attitude control technologies, space environment utilization technologies, on-orbit servicing technologies, space robotics, and technologies for lunar and planetary exploration. Including the achievements of its predecessor lab, it has developed micro- and nanosatellites ranging from CubeSats to the 100 kg class, and has demonstrated them in orbit. While incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and new materials, the lab is building the foundation of space infrastructure.

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.

Yasushi Endo, Professor
0 student voices
Endo-Muroga Lab studies the development, measurement, analysis, and application of functional materials, centered on high-frequency magnetics engineering and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering. At the intersection of magnetics engineering and EMC engineering, the lab creates materials for next-generation electrical and electronic devices. It also proposes techniques for evaluating material properties with high sensitivity at high frequencies, and works on applying materials to devices. The lab accepts students who go on to graduate school from departments other than the Department of Electrical, Information and Physics Engineering, and also welcomes doctoral students who are working professionals.

Tetsuo Endoh, Professor
0 student voices
Endoh Lab researches next-generation silicon integrated circuits, aiming at an ultimate energy-saving society. The lab explains that, as the shift to electrical energy advances to counter global warming, the power consumption of IT equipment around the world is also increasing. Since all the fundamentals can be learned after joining the lab, no prior specialized knowledge is needed, and students are warmly welcome.

Shin Yabukami, Professor
0 student voices
The Ubiquitous Energy Lab researches magnetic sensing technology in biomedical engineering. The lab applies magnetism to medicine, working on elucidating biological activity, cancer treatment, and detecting viruses and bacteria. Research topics presented include the development of ultra-high-sensitivity magnetic field sensors, the development of magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment systems, and medical applications of quantum magnetic sensors. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and students from other universities, students from technical colleges (KOSEN), and international students are welcome.

Makoto Tsuda, Professor
0 student voices
The Applied Electric Energy Systems Lab researches applications of superconductivity and energy storage systems that use renewable energy and hydrogen. Applications of superconductivity span a wide range of fields, including power, medicine, industry, and space. The lab has no core hours, and each member pursues research without being bound by a fixed schedule. The lab also actively accepts students from other universities and technical colleges (KOSEN). On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Tsuda-Nagasaki Lab."

Kazunori Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab researches the understanding and control of plasma phenomena, and based on that knowledge conducts research and development on space propulsion devices (plasma engines), fusion-related technologies, and industrial plasma processing equipment. Plasma is a state of matter, called the fourth state of matter, consisting of positive and negative ions and electrons. Because it is a fluid to which electromagnetic fields can be applied from outside, it can be controlled, for example through confinement and efficient acceleration. The lab conducts research mainly through laboratory experiments. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Plasma Dynamics and Propulsion Lab."

Kenji Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies electrical machines such as motors and generators, and technologies for using electrical energy efficiently. Its targets are the electrical machines that support the generation, transmission, conversion, and use of electrical energy, and the systems that combine them. Besides magnetic gears, which transmit power by the force of magnets, the lab works on wind power generation, power systems, and next-generation mobility. In April 2026, the lab moved to the Department of Electrical Energy Systems.

Taku Noda, Professor
0 student voices
The Electric Power Network Systems Lab studies how to advance power systems, which deliver electrical energy, by drawing on knowledge of electrical engineering. The lab regards work in the field of electrical energy as falling into two areas: changing the form of power systems, and proposing applications of new information technologies to power systems. It also considers it important to use artificial intelligence (AI) and DX (digital transformation) technologies to deliver electricity at low cost.
