Akira Kirishima, Professor
0 student voices
The Kirishima Lab studies the chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle used in nuclear power. After nuclear fuel is burned in a reactor, radioactive materials and unused uranium remain. By capturing the chemical behavior of radionuclides in aqueous (wet) and non-aqueous (dry) systems, the lab develops recycling methods that generate little waste. The lab is also investigating how radionuclides move in the groundwater environment after treatment and disposal.
Atsuki Terakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Terakawa Lab conducts research using charged-particle beams from a large cyclotron accelerator. It works on advancing particle beam therapy, which concentrates the dose on the cancer, and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), which treats cancer cells selectively. The lab also pursues PIXE analysis, which identifies elements from the X-rays emitted when a low-energy proton beam strikes a sample. In collaboration with researchers in medicine, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine, the lab also conducts basic research combining proton therapy with new anticancer drugs.
Atsushi Okamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Okamoto-Oyanagi Lab reads the reactions and mass transport that take place inside the Earth from rocks, which serve as a recording medium. It combines field surveys, reaction experiments that recreate conditions in the Earth's interior, and the latest analytical techniques. The lab takes on questions about the interplay of the geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, as well as the unsolved problems of crustal fluids and how earthquakes occur. Building on this understanding, the lab is advancing evaluation and prediction aimed at the effective use of new mineral resources and the Earth's energy.
Mei-Fang Chien, Associate Professor

The Chien-Han Lab studies living organisms, including microorganisms, and the environments they inhabit, to deepen understanding of both. It aims to develop and put into practical use biological (bio) environmental technologies that contribute to a sustainable society. The lab clarifies how plants and microorganisms remove toxic metals and proposes environmental remediation processes. Toward a society in which resources circulate, it also works on recovering metals through the action of living organisms.
Hideyuki Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi (H.)-Yokoyama Lab studies how to make nanomaterials in aqueous solutions at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The materials it works with are metals, metal sulfides, oxides, and halides, and composites of these. Using only simple, easy-to-operate equipment, the lab aims to produce high-performance materials under conditions that save resources and energy and have a low environmental impact. It aims to bring out the full functionality of the materials it makes and turn them into forms useful to society, such as devices that outperform existing ones.
Yoshinori Sato, Professor
0 student voices
Sato (Y.) Lab studies functional materials made from light non-metallic elements, including carbon. To give large-scale materials the properties of nanomaterials, the lab develops materials based on the design of surfaces and interfaces. The lab also works on fuel cell catalysts and energy harvesting materials, aiming to create the lightweight, high-performance materials needed for next-generation clean energy. The lab supports students so that they can develop curiosity about their research topics early on and build problem-solving skills.
Masanobu Kamitakahara, Professor
0 student voices
Kamitakahara-Umetsu Lab studies the design of materials that are in harmony with life and the environment. Combining environmental science, materials science, and life science, the lab investigates from the fundamentals how materials interact with biological and natural phenomena. Its main subjects are ceramic artificial bones that repair bone defects, carriers that immobilize microorganisms, and environmental remediation materials made from waste. Through materials design, the lab aims for materials that are not only in harmony with the environment but also actively act on life and nature.
Noriaki Watanabe, Professor
0 student voices
The Watanabe-Wang Lab studies technologies for developing resources and energy, as well as technologies for assessing and reducing the environmental risks that arise in the process. The core of its research is to clarify how materials move and circulate underground, in the geosphere. Its work ranges from developing geothermal resources and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to investigating soil and groundwater contamination. The lab also works on data-driven science, which extracts essential laws from high-dimensional data.
Etsuro Shibata, Professor
0 student voices
The Shibata-Adachi Lab studies how to build mechanisms that circulate metal resources. Its foundation is the concept of "Multi-metal Smelting," which links smelting and refining processes that have been separated by metal, such as copper, lead, and zinc. The lab aims to extract metals not only from ores but also from E-scrap with complex compositions, from waste, and from smelting by-products. While chemical thermodynamics is its academic base, the lab also tackles technical challenges that chemical thermodynamics alone cannot address.
Junya Kano, Professor
0 student voices
The Kano-Kushimoto Lab uses computer simulation to study processes that handle powders, which are collections of fine particles. It works on saving energy in powder processes such as grinding, mixing, and classification, and on reducing carbon dioxide emissions in ironmaking processes. The lab is also researching hydrogen production from biomass by the mechanochemical method and recovery of rare metals from discarded home appliances. In addition to knowledge of powder technology, students can acquire programming skills for numerical analysis such as DEM and CFD.
