Hironori Fudeyasu, Professor
0 student voices
The Meteorology Lab studies how familiar atmospheric phenomena relate to education, human society, disasters, health, sports, and more. The lab's research methods are field weather observation, numerical simulation, machine learning, and data analysis. The lab also supports students in obtaining qualifications as a certified weather forecaster and a certified disaster prevention specialist. Prof. Hironori Fudeyasu's research keyword is typhoons, and the professor also serves as director of the university's Typhoon Science and Technology Research Center.
Kaoruko Kurata, Professor
0 student voices
The Plant Science Lab studies plants on a wide range of themes, including morphology, conservation, and adaptive evolution, covering everything from familiar plants to endangered plants. Through fieldwork and experiments, the lab explores plants' "origins" (phylogeny and evolution) and their "ways of life" (ecology and morphology). The lab aims for students to acquire scientific thinking and experimental skills through research, and to send them into society as teachers specializing in science. The lab's website goes by the name "YNU Team HANA," and the lab also encourages those who want to deepen their expertise to go on to a master's or doctoral program.
Yumiko Hirashima, Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Professor Yumiko Hirashima conducts experiments on the fundamental properties of polymer gels and develops physics teaching materials. The lab experimentally studies polymer gels, which are materials similar to biological substances, focusing on properties such as swelling behavior and the volume phase transition. In addition to developing physics teaching materials from familiar, inexpensive materials, the lab has also developed an experimental course on electric circuits for university students who aspire to become teachers. In the university's researcher directory, the research keywords are listed as physical properties of polymer gels, physics teaching materials, and physics experiments.
Takenori Furumoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Associate Professor Takenori Furumoto studies the world of atomic nuclei using computers. In atomic nuclei, where nucleons (protons and neutrons) exist as a collective, phenomena such as the strong interaction and quantum many-body effects are observed. The lab studies the structure and reactions of atomic nuclei by examining scattering with nucleons and nuclei as incident particles, using models built from a microscopic perspective. In the university's researcher directory, the research field is listed as theory of elementary particles, atomic nuclei, cosmic rays, and astrophysics.
Toshiaki Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Professor Toshiaki Suzuki works on developing new chemistry teaching materials and environmentally friendly organic synthesis reactions. The lab also synthesizes new acid-base indicators, fluorescent compounds, and other substances. It has also studied how dyes commonly used in demonstration experiments at elementary schools and elsewhere can serve as catalysts for reactions that use oxygen in the air. In the university's researcher directory, the research keywords are listed as fundamental chemistry, chemistry education, organic chemistry, and green and sustainable chemistry, among others.
Hiroshi Tsuno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Associate Professor Hiroshi Tsuno studies the speciation and behavior of elements in the environment. To understand material cycles on the Earth's surface and the effects of human activity on those cycles, the lab conducts laboratory experiments and analyzes environmental samples. In the researcher directory, the research keywords are listed as environmental chemistry, geochemistry, analytical chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. In the Science specialization of the Faculty of Education, students are assigned to a lab in their second year, and a senior thesis presentation is held in the fourth year.
Eijiroh Nishi, Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Professor Eijiroh Nishi conducts research to understand the true state of living organisms and the natural environment. The lab collects basic data that informs nature conservation and environmental education, and aims to do research that lets people picture the real state of the natural environment and biodiversity. In the researcher directory, the research keywords include polychaetes (ragworms), tidal flat biology, and systematic taxonomy. In the Science specialization of the Faculty of Education, students are assigned to a lab in their second year, and a senior thesis presentation is held in the fourth year.
Shungo Kawagata, Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Professor Shungo Kawagata studies strata and the fossils of protists preserved in them. Through the study of fossils, the lab reconstructs past marine and depositional environments, and clarifies phylogeny, evolution, and extinction. In the researcher directory, the research keywords are marine micropaleontology and paleoceanography, and the listed research background includes the classification of Cenozoic benthic foraminifera and late Cenozoic paleoceanographic environmental change. In the Science specialization of the Faculty of Education, students are assigned to a lab in their second year, and a senior thesis presentation is held in the fourth year.
Takanori Ibaraki, Professor
0 student voices
In this lab, Professor Ibaraki studies fixed point problems for nonlinear mappings in Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Research on fixed point problems rests on two pillars, existence and approximation methods, and the nonexpansiveness of the mapping is a key factor. The lab proposes approximation methods that construct a sequence of points step by step toward a solution, and has obtained theorems showing that the sequence converges to the solution. According to the researcher directory, in the 2026 academic year Professor Ibaraki is in charge of graduation research for the Faculty of Education.
Saeko Yamagata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Yamagata studies geometric group theory, which uses geometry to clarify the algebraic properties of groups in mathematics. Associate Professor Yamagata describes the appeal of the research as lying in the place where algebra and geometry connect. Currently, the lab is working on branching random walks on Gromov hyperbolic spaces on which weakly hyperbolic groups act. The Mathematics Specialization to which the lab belongs mainly aims to train elementary and junior high school teachers with specialized mathematical knowledge and logical thinking skills.
