Yasushi Takemura, Professor
0 student voices
The Takemura Lab studies diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, sensors and devices, wireless power transfer, and energy harvesting that apply magnetism. Its work ranges widely from medical imaging and cancer treatment using magnetic nanoparticles, to devices inside the body that are driven wirelessly, to batteryless modules. According to the lab's page for undergraduate students, the lab provides careful guidance in both experiments and computation, and lab visits are welcome at any time.

Takao Tsuji, Professor
0 student voices
Tsuji Lab is the lab of Prof. Tsuji, who specializes in power systems engineering. The graduate school's faculty list gives power systems engineering, smart grids, and renewable energy as areas of specialization. Prof. Tsuji is listed in the faculty lists for the fields of Applied Physics, Information Systems, Electrical and Electronic Networks, and Integrated Electronics in the Department of Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Masaya Nakata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Nakata Lab explores "evolutionary intelligence," which realizes the adaptive capability of biological evolution on computers, and applies it to optimization and machine learning. Optimization techniques may find answers that exceed existing performance, but they often require a great deal of cost and time, so the lab studies low-cost optimization. In evolutionary machine learning, which integrates evolutionary optimization and machine learning, the lab works on automatic design of learning models, extraction of explanatory models, and more. The lab conducts (or has conducted) collaborative research on data analysis and AI development in fields such as logistics, education, and healthcare.

Katsuhiko Nishiguchi, Professor
0 student voices
Nishiguchi Lab (Nonequilibrium Electron Systems Lab) studies electron systems in nonequilibrium states, focusing on regimes where fluctuations and discreteness become essential to device operation. Observing and controlling the motion of electrons in nanometer-scale devices, the lab aims to uncover new physical principles and create future electronic functions. A distinctive feature of the lab is that device fabrication, precise measurement, and simulation are pursued together to directly observe and control nonequilibrium states inside actual devices. The lab is recruiting students interested in nanodevices, transistors, and semiconductor physics, and lab visits are accepted at any time.

Yoshiaki Nishijima, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nishijima Lab specializes in plasmonics and studies optoelectronics, nano-optical sensors, and photothermal energy conversion. Using structures called metasurfaces, the lab studied perfect absorption of light and control of mid-infrared light emission. Building on this technology, the lab also studied key component technologies for gas sensors that identify molecules with high sensitivity using light.

Toshihiko Baba, Professor
0 student voices
The Baba Lab studies photonic integrated chips, silicon photonics, 3D image sensors, and biosensing in the fields of optoelectronics and photonics. The lab has studied silicon photonics, which merges electronic and optical technologies, since the early days of the field, and has produced many technologies that are now widely used. It also works on sensors that use light, such as LiDAR for autonomous driving and biomedical sensors that support health management and treatment. The lab is also developing research that models complex structures such as photonic crystals and uses AI to search for new structures.

Tomoki Hamagami, Professor
0 student voices
The Hamagami Lab (Intelligent Systems Lab) works on research that deepens the fundamental technologies of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Assuming that AI will be used in society, the lab pursues AI technology as systems engineering. As applications, it is developing medical support that assists doctors' decision-making, and research that makes anomaly detection and management of infrastructure and similar systems more efficient.

Kaori Fukunaga, Professor
0 student voices
The Non-Destructive Sensing Lab studies how to use electromagnetic waves to examine, without damaging them, the condition and internal structure of objects that cannot be known from their appearance alone. The lab applies electromagnetic waves of various frequency bands, detects the reflected and transmitted signals, turns them into images, and analyzes the data to diagnose the soundness of objects non-destructively and without contact. Cultural heritage science is the discipline of scientifically investigating and diagnosing cultural properties. The main purposes of investigation are “to learn about the work” and “to inspect its condition before restoration.” On the lab's introduction site, it is presented under the name “Non-Destructive Sensing Lab.”

Yasutaka Fujimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Fujimoto Lab studies the control of robots and electromechanical systems, and the optimization of production systems and the like. In connection with Japan's declining birthrate and aging population, the lab works on robots intended to support the independence of older adults and reduce the burden on medical and nursing-care workers. In connection with the climate crisis, the lab studies energy saving in the drive units of electric vehicles and robots, as well as engineering methods for intervening in typhoons to reduce disaster damage, and typhoon power generation. The lab is also active in putting its research results to practical use in society, and conducts joint research with many companies in Japan and abroad.
Yosuke Mizuno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Mizuno Lab studies optical fiber sensing technology, which uses optical fibers to measure strain, temperature, and other quantities. The lab aims to realize smart structures, in which optical fibers are embedded as “nerves” in buildings, bridges, and the like to detect damage and changes in temperature. It also works on plastic optical fibers that can withstand large strain, and on lidar that measures distance and vibration using light. The lab was established in April 2020.
