Masahiro Yabuno, Visiting Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Functional Measurement Lab studies new sensing and imaging technologies that use terahertz waves. The lab's website is the page of the Terahertz Sensing and Imaging Research Team at RIKEN, whose team leader is Chiko Otani. At Tohoku University, Visiting Professor Chiko Otani and Visiting Associate Professor Masahiro Yabuno are listed under a course in the cooperative graduate school program of the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science. The department's page lists research keywords such as superconductivity, quantum information science, quantum measurement, and nonlinear optics.
Yusuke Nomura, Professor

The IMR Theoretical Physics Lab is a condensed matter theory lab that studies quantum many-body systems, aiming at novel phenomena and groundbreaking understanding. Its main subjects are a group of materials called strongly correlated electron systems, and it works to understand quantum many-body phenomena such as superconductivity and magnetism and to design material properties. It develops and uses methods including first-principles calculations, quantum many-body theory, and machine learning with artificial neural networks. The lab's website presents it under the name “Nomura-Murakami Lab.”
Yohei Sato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Building on electron beam spectroscopy, this lab develops methods to analyze the electronic structure of local regions in materials and carries out fundamental applications of them to condensed matter physics. It advances electron beam spectroscopy techniques based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and works to elucidate material properties at the nanoscale, such as electronic states, chemical bonding, optical properties, and lattice vibrations. Centering on momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (qEELS) and angle-resolved soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (AR-SXES), it aims at direct observation of local properties that are difficult to capture with conventional methods. The lab belongs to the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, and its website presents it under the name “Electron Diffraction and Spectroscopy Research Division.”
Masayuki Akiyama, Professor
0 student voices
The Akiyama Lab uses observations in light of many different wavelengths to clarify how the galaxies we see in the universe today came to be. For its observations, the lab uses a variety of instruments, centered on the Subaru Telescope. To capture distant galaxies that have not yet been seen, the lab is also building new observing instruments. The lab is looking for students who want to uncover the history of galaxy formation in the universe by "seeing it with their own eyes."
Kazuyuki Omukai, Professor
0 student voices
The Theoretical Astrophysics Group, to which the Omukai Lab belongs, conducts theoretical research on astrophysics in general, starting with the formation of astronomical objects and high-energy phenomena. Using theoretical calculations, the group studies the process by which objects such as galaxies, stars, and planets are born from tiny density fluctuations in the early universe. Another research theme is the violent activity of compact objects and the mechanisms by which particles gain high energy there. Professor Omukai, Associate Professor Kashiyama, and Associate Professor Tomida each accept students for supervision.
Tadayuki Kodama, Professor
0 student voices
The Kodama Lab studies galaxy clusters and distant galaxies, taking advantage of the wide field of view of the Subaru Telescope. The lab maps galaxy clusters in the distant universe together with the large-scale structures around them, and investigates the formation and evolution of galaxies, whose existence depends strongly on their environment. In addition to the Subaru Telescope, the lab observes with ALMA and also plans an imaging survey using SWIMS, a near-infrared instrument. The descriptions on the research overview page date from around 2018.
Hidekazu Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Planet Formation Theory Lab studies, from a theoretical standpoint, the physical mechanisms by which planetary systems form, both in the Solar System and around other stars. Its setting is the protoplanetary disk, a disk that spreads around a star and is where planets are born. The lab covers a wide range of scales, from micro to macro, spanning the stage at which dust particles in the disk grow through to the formation of terrestrial planets and giant gas planets. On LabLog it is listed as the Tanaka Lab, but on the lab's website it is introduced under the name "Planet Formation Theory Lab."
Masaomi Tanaka, Professor
0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab, in the Astronomical Institute at Tohoku University, conducts observational and theoretical research on a wide variety of transient objects in the universe. Through this research, the lab investigates the physics of high-energy explosive phenomena and the origin of heavy elements. The listed research keywords include time-domain astronomy, multi-messenger astronomy, supernova explosions, and neutron star mergers.
Masashi Chiba, Professor
0 student voices
The Chiba Lab studies how galaxies formed and how they have changed over time. Its listed research interests are galaxy formation and evolution, galactic archaeology, dark matter in galaxies, and observational cosmology. The lab's website also publishes articles, in Japanese, about research investigating the Milky Way and nearby galaxies.
Misato Fukagawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Fukagawa Lab observes protoplanetary disks and exoplanets to study how planetary systems form. Based at the Astronomical Institute at Tohoku University, the lab uses telescopes such as the Subaru Telescope and ALMA, and works together with computations and simulations carried out by theory groups. A protoplanetary disk is a disk of gas and solid microscopic particles (dust) surrounding a young star. The lab's website presents it under the name "Planetary System Formation (Observation) Research Group."
