Tadashi Nittami, Professor
0 student voices
Nittami Lab studies solid-liquid separation in activated sludge, biological nutrient removal, and the microbial ecology of activated sludge. Focusing on biological wastewater treatment, in which wastewater is treated by microorganisms, the lab also works on microbial community analysis. Its recent papers deal with filamentous bacteria found in activated sludge and with phages of Escherichia coli isolated from activated sludge. The lab also continues international joint research with overseas universities, including La Trobe University.
Koichi Matsuzawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Matsuzawa Lab (Materials Electrochemistry Laboratory) studies materials for the electrochemical devices needed for a green hydrogen society. For fuel cells, which use hydrogen, and water electrolysis, which produces hydrogen, the lab works on improving the performance and durability of electrode materials and on clarifying the mechanisms of electrode reactions. On the academic side, the lab focuses on electrochemical phenomena at interfaces and studies technologies for storing and using energy through the interconversion of electrical and chemical energy.
Ryuta Misumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Misumi Lab studies mixing (agitation and blending) technology, which is important in a wide range of fields including the chemical and food industries. The lab captures flow-driven phenomena in stirred tanks and reaction vessels using newly developed measurement techniques, and builds analysis methods such as numerical simulation based on the resulting data. The lab is also working to apply the knowledge gained about mixing to new engineering settings such as biotechnology and supercritical processes. The lab accepts inquiries, including online meetings, from third-year students in the Chemical Applications EP (Educational Program) who wish to join the lab, and from students at other universities who wish to enter graduate school.
Yuichi Miyake, Professor
0 student voices
The Yuichi Miyake Lab studies the assessment and management of environmental risk, centered on chemical substances. Its key research topics are environmental fate analysis, which examines how chemical substances behave in the environment, and exposure assessment, which evaluates how people are exposed to them. The lab has published papers on analytical methods for measuring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their halogenated derivatives, and on measurement methods using passive samplers.
Sanehiro Muromachi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Muromachi Lab studies the properties of hydrates, which are water-containing crystals, and their use in gas separation, gas storage, heat storage, and more. Its listed research keywords include methane hydrate, gas hydrate, semi-clathrate hydrate, thermophysical properties of fluids, and crystal structure analysis. In a 2019 commentary article, a faculty member of the lab stated that because gas hydrates form from pure water, they can be used for desalination and for concentrating aqueous solutions, and can also separate components from mixed gases.
Masahiko Aihara, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Aihara Lab studies processes involved in hydrogen production, gas separation, and heat recovery from the perspectives of chemical energy engineering, reaction engineering, and separation engineering. Its research keywords also include system integration and holistic analysis. Separation membranes that can be used under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions, and mechanisms that use solid reactants to separate substances or recover heat, appear in the lab's research history and in its themes for joint research.
Minoru Takeda, Professor
0 student voices
The Biological Systems Engineering Lab views living organisms as dynamic entities that are alive, and aims to shape engineering based on this dynamic and healthy picture of life. Its research keywords are glycoconjugates, applied biochemistry, and environmental biotechnology. Using methods such as biochemistry and molecular biology, the lab investigates the structures outside cells, useful enzymes, and microbial communities involved in water treatment and fermented foods. The lab is also known as the Takeda Lab, and belongs to the Bio Education Program of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science, Faculty of Science and Engineering.
Nozomu Iwabuchi, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Iwabuchi Lab studies the "molecular-level battle" between plants and the pathogens that threaten them, such as filamentous fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It works to clarify how pathogens hijack plant immunity, and also takes on the development of new industrial technologies that make use of those mechanisms in reverse. Its goal is to create agricultural technologies for a sustainable future. The lab's strengths include handling a wide variety of plant pathogenic microorganisms, analyzing microbiomes, and observing gene expression in real time using luminescent reporters.
Daisuke Ito, Lecturer
0 student voices
Lecturer Daisuke Ito's lab uses electrochemical methods to study corrosion protection related to the maintenance and management of facilities such as oil storage tanks. The lab works on methods for evaluating the degradation of protective coatings applied for corrosion protection, and on developing long-life anticorrosive coatings. Experimental education and recurrent education for engineers are also subjects of its research.
Yoshiki Sakurai, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Yoshiki Sakurai studies turbulence, smoke flow during fires, and the dispersion of dense gases, with computational fluid dynamics at the core. The lab aims to elucidate the phenomenon of turbulence through large-scale direct numerical simulation, and also develops tools and models that predict smoke flow in fires and the dispersion of dense gases. He belongs to the Artificial Environment and Information Division of the Faculty of Environment and Information Sciences, Yokohama National University.
