Shingo Kagami, Professor
0 student voices
The Kagami Lab studies perceptual information processing and its applications, building on technology for processing data in real time. The lab mainly targets high-frame-rate video. Its applications include robotics, video media, and human-computer interaction.
Takahito Ono, Professor
0 student voices
The Ono-Truong Lab develops micro- and nano-scale machines and sensors using nanotechnology and microsystems technology. MEMS and NEMS are miniature systems that add new value to semiconductor technology, and the lab works on developing new MEMS and NEMS together with the fabrication technologies they require. The lab develops sensors aiming for extreme sensitivity and is opening up new applications that were previously difficult. On the lab's website, it is introduced together with the Toda Lab under the name "Ono/Toda Lab."
Masaya Toda, Associate Professor

The Toda Lab studies mechanical elements on the scale of nanometers and functional nanomaterials. Nanoresonators can serve as sensors that detect tiny forces, masses, and heat with high sensitivity, and the lab also pursues fundamental research such as the loss of vibrational energy. In functional nanomaterials, the lab applies new functions of nanostructures and works on devices such as graphene-based energy storage devices. On the lab's website, it is introduced together with Prof. Ono's lab as "Ono/Toda Lab."
Koshi Adachi, Professor

The Adachi-Kuriyagawa Lab, in the Nano-Interface Control Engineering field of the Department of Mechanical Functional Creation at the Graduate School of Engineering, studies friction and wear that occur at contact surfaces where machine parts rub against each other. This field is called tribology, and it holds the key to the reliability, durability, and performance of machines. The lab develops technologies to scientifically investigate and control friction and wear, and aims to build machine design methods based on them and to create high-performance machines. In recent years, the lab has been investigating how the ultralow friction of hydrogen-containing carbon nitride films persists in high vacuum and in environments with different humidity. The lab's website is published jointly with the Murashima Lab as "Adachi-Kuriyagawa/Murashima Lab."
Motoyuki Murashima, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Murashima Lab belongs to the Nano-Interface Control Engineering field of the Department of Finemechanics, Graduate School of Engineering, and conducts research in tribology, which deals with friction and wear on surfaces where machine parts rub against each other. The lab has studied the relationship between tribofilms, which form through friction from additives in lubricating oil, and DLC films, which offer excellent low friction and wear resistance. It is now developing technology to stably carry microorganisms on the surfaces of machine materials, in order to reduce friction and improve wear resistance. The lab's website is published jointly with the Adachi-Kuriyagawa Lab as the "Adachi-Kuriyagawa / Murashima Lab" site.
Makoto Shimizu, Associate Professor

The Shimizu Lab studies new energy conversion technologies for extracting and using energy without waste. It aims at the effective use of new energy sources such as solar and geothermal energy, and of clean energy such as hydrogen and biofuels. The lab currently works on improving the efficiency of energy systems that use thermal energy, and on fuel cells related to the effective use of hydrogen. In its research on controlling thermal radiation wavelength by wavelength, the lab works on power generation that produces electricity from heat, cooling of electronic devices, energy-saving window glass, and more.
Masaya Shigeta, Professor

The Shigeta-Sugimoto Lab studies high-energy fluid processes that use plasmas hotter than 10,000 degrees. Its targets include making and processing new materials, and rendering hazardous substances that are hard to decompose harmless. For phenomena that are hot, dazzlingly bright, complex, and impossible to investigate with conventional methods, the lab develops new techniques to visualize them and analyzes the data to unravel them. Based on the knowledge obtained, it aims to solve problems and create new thermal fluid processes.
Tetsushi Biwa, Professor
0 student voices
The Biwa Lab studies thermoacoustic phenomena, in which heat and sound waves convert into each other. Heating gas in a tube generates sound waves, and those sound waves can in turn be used to cool. The lab studies thermoacoustic engines and coolers that have no moving parts, few components, and are easy to assemble and maintain. These technologies can use waste heat and solar energy, and are expected to be used in space, deserts, and the ocean.
Eita Shoji, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shoji Lab studies the flow and wetting of complex fluids (soft matter), such as liquids containing nanoparticles. To control complex fluids in processes such as printing and coating, understanding the mechanisms of flow and wetting is essential. Using optical measurement methods the lab developed itself, it captures the shape of thin liquid films ranging from nanometers to micrometers in thickness. It also investigates heat and mass transport in oscillating flows, aiming to lead to new separation technologies.
Takafumi Fukushima, Professor
0 student voices
The Fukushima Lab researches three-dimensional integration (3D-IC) technology, which stacks semiconductor chips vertically. Chips are thinned to a few tens of micrometers, and the upper and lower chips are connected by thin wiring that passes through the silicon. The lab introduces this technology as also being used in the high-capacity memory of GPU modules for generative AI. It also works on applications in medicine and wearables, such as devices that embed chips in flexible substrates.
