Norihiro Sugita, Professor
0 student voices
The Systems and Control Engineering (Sugita) Lab studies cyber-physical systems that are useful for medicine and welfare. Its research includes measuring a person's pulse wave with a video camera, and estimating the state of people in a room using radio waves used for communication. Virtual reality (VR) for medicine and welfare is also one of its research themes.
Kazushi Ishiyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Bioelectromagnetic Information Lab researches sensing technologies that receive the information emitted by living bodies, as well as technologies that act on living bodies. The lab aims to establish electromagnetic communication with living bodies and to understand how they function as information systems. In Professor Ishiyama's field, the lab works on magnetic sensors and wireless actuators. In Associate Professor Goto's field, it works on materials and devices for spin waves and magneto-optics. Through developing these technologies, the lab aims to contribute to information and communications as well as to medicine and welfare.
Akio Ishiguro, Professor

The Ishiguro Lab seeks to understand, by building robots, the control mechanisms behind the supple yet tough behavior of living things. Once these mechanisms are understood, it is expected not only to make possible robots that move around just like living creatures, but also to benefit biology. Combining robotics, mathematical science, and biology, the lab aims to establish Robotics-inspired biology as a new academic field. Its subjects include the movements of quadrupeds, plesiosaurs, myriapods, snakes, and insects.
Takashi Nose, Associate Professor

The (Omachi)-Nose Lab conducts research for next-generation HCI (human-computer interaction) centered on sound, voice, and language. Its research themes include speech and singing voice synthesis and conversion, dialogue systems, speech emotion recognition, and restoration of degraded audio from old records. The lab is developing systems that support online learning, and is also considering building an Audio Captioning model that describes environmental sounds in text. The lab belongs to the Department of Communications Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University.
Shinichiro Omachi, Professor

The Image Information and Communication Engineering Lab (Omachi-Miyazaki Lab) researches how to enable computers to recognize and understand text and images as precisely as humans do. Images are all around us, such as photos taken with mobile phones. The lab aims to conduct research that uses such images to be useful in daily life or to make it more enjoyable. Its main research themes are scene text detection, video and image coding, indoor localization, and deep learning.
Yuji Matsuura, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuura Lab researches technologies that use light to examine the state of the body, as well as hollow optical fibers. It develops methods that use infrared and ultraviolet light to analyze components in blood and breath. The lab also studies hollow optical fibers themselves, which are thin tubes that guide light. On the lab's website, it is introduced under two names: Biomedical Optical Engineering at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, and Communication and Information Measurement in the Department of Communications Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering.
Hiroki Nishiyama, Professor

The Communication Systems Lab researches the communication systems around us, such as mobile communication systems typified by mobile phones. As the AI/IoT era arrives and the trend of equipping all kinds of things with artificial intelligence and communication functions gathers full momentum, the lab envisions the communication systems that will support the world 20 and 30 years from now. Beyond speed and reliability, it aims to improve energy efficiency and resilience, with the goal of contributing to a sustainable society.
Qiang Chen, Professor

The Electromagnetic Wave Engineering Lab conducts research on electromagnetic waves, including the analysis of antennas and electromagnetic fields. Its research covers a wide range of areas, including electromagnetic theory, measurement, and the electromagnetic environment, and it works consistently from fundamentals to applications, using both theory and experiments. In the lab's introduction video, it explains that radio waves are used in many fields, such as medicine, sensors, autonomous driving, and disaster management. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Chen-Konno Lab."
Masato Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
The Micro-Optics Lab conducts applied research on optical communication and optical measurement based on optical fibers. Behind this is the explosive growth in data traffic driven by the spread of Internet-based services, which has made increasing the capacity and density of optical fiber communication networks and strengthening their security urgent issues. Optical fiber communication networks are increasingly being applied to distributed sensing, which measures temperature, pressure, vibration, and more continuously over space. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Yoshida Lab."
Shin Yoshizawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshizawa Lab studies how to treat cancer and other conditions by focusing ultrasound energy on the affected area. In medicine, ultrasound is widely used to take images of internal organs and to examine blood flow. Because ultrasound therapy can treat the affected area without bleeding, it is gentle on the body and is attracting attention as a method that meets the needs of an aging society. The lab accepts graduate students from the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering.
