Atsushi Takagaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Takagaki Lab researches and develops solid catalysts that contribute to a society with circular use of carbon resources. Using a catalytic chemistry approach, the lab aims to realize a sustainable society. The lab conducts catalyst research on the conversion of methane, biomass, and plastics, and also incorporates mechanochemical reactions, which use mechanical force to drive chemical reactions. Lab visits and consultations are accepted at any time, from both inside and outside the university.

Koji Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies how to improve the reliability and performance of structural materials used in energy equipment, chemical plants, automobiles, and aircraft. Building on materials science and mechanics of materials, the lab addresses problems such as material fatigue and surface cracks. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Energy Equipment Materials Lab."

Satoshi Nakai, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakai Lab's research fields are environmental epidemiology and environmental health risk assessment and risk management. Its listed research areas also include air pollution, indoor environments, and food safety. In the faculty introduction of the Institute of Environment and Information Sciences, the professor is listed as a Professor in the Natural Environment and Information Division, in charge of the Department of Artificial Environment.

Hiroki Hondo, Professor
0 student voices
The Hondo Lab studies the evaluation and management of energy technologies to build a sustainable society. As harmony between the natural environment and human activity is increasingly required, the lab believes that technology is the key to achieving it. The lab aims to conduct research that contributes to decision-making not only by governments and companies but also by people in their everyday lives. It also covers the assessment and management of technological risks toward a sustainable society, as well as national and regional environmental and energy policy.

Masahiko Matsumiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsumiya Lab studies technologies that separate and recover rare metals, such as platinum group metals and rare earth elements, by combining solvent extraction and electrodeposition. The lab aims to develop methods that efficiently separate metal ions by using ionic liquids in solvent extraction. In particular, for platinum group metals, it is developing an "extraction–electrolysis process" in which the ionic liquid left after extraction is used as-is for electrodeposition, which it regards as effective for reducing the volume of secondary waste. The lab also studies the structures of metal complexes using Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.

Shigenori Mitsushima, Professor
0 student voices
The Mitsushima-Kuroda Lab studies foundational technologies for realizing a hydrogen energy society from the perspectives of electrochemistry and materials chemistry. As technologies for producing hydrogen, transporting it, and converting it into electricity, the lab studies water electrolysis, electrosynthesis of organic hydrides, and fuel cell catalysts. Much of its research is conducted as part of national projects or in joint research with companies specializing in electrolysis and energy-related technologies. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Energy Conversion Chemistry Lab."

Hideaki Yoshitake, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshitake Lab studies the development of materials related to the environment and the mechanisms of reactions that occur at interfaces (interfacial reactions). The lab works with materials such as mesostructured materials that combine organic and inorganic components, and mesoporous materials. Spectroscopy is used to analyze the materials, and XAFS is also listed among the lab's research keywords. The lab also has papers and a book on the adsorption of toxic ions.

Yuichiro Izato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Izato Lab aims to build a systematic body of safety science and technology needed to control energy systems that are safe, environmentally sound, and sustainable. Its research ranges from developing the fundamental theory of reactions in energetic materials to social implementation, such as risk management of energy systems. The lab conducts research to protect safety in the chemical industry. The lab belongs to the Applied Chemistry EP in the Department of Chemistry and Life Science, Faculty of Engineering Science, and to the Department of Artificial Environment, Graduate School of Environment and Information Sciences.

Naoya Kasai, Professor
0 student voices
The Kasai Lab studies nondestructive testing, which examines materials and structures without destroying them, technologies for preventing fracture accidents, and statistical analysis and risk analysis of industrial accidents. Its research includes various monitoring technologies, statistical risk analysis techniques, and risk-based maintenance. The lab's website has videos showing flaw detection with a newly developed eddy current probe and detection of flammable gas with infrared. The website also displays the motto "Cheerful! Energetic! Friendly! Positive!"

Kazuho Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Nakamura Lab studies membrane-based filtration and separation technologies from the perspectives of separation engineering and environmental chemical engineering. For membrane bioreactors (MBRs) used in water treatment, the lab is developing methods to monitor membrane clogging (fouling) through filtration resistance and zeta potential. Through international joint research with India, the lab also works on developing wastewater treatment technologies needed in developing countries.
