The Strength Evaluation and Design Lab studies reliability design that supports the drive systems of next-generation electric vehicles and the safety of autonomous driving. The lab develops systems that support the advancement of power modules, the core of drive control systems. It aims to establish reliability design engineering that supports the safety of autonomous driving systems at the ppm (parts per million) level, which cannot be reproduced in experimental environments. The lab also provides education to enhance the creativity of engineers and developers.

The Applied Solid Mechanics Lab studies deformation, contact, and friction phenomena in materials and machines through numerical simulation and experiments. Its research themes include self-healing ceramics, terramechanics, and friction phenomena. The lab uses numerical analysis such as the finite element method to investigate the behavior of materials and machines. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Ozaki Lab."

The Extreme Machining Lab studies the mechanics of cutting, in which material is removed at high and ultra-high speeds, and the phenomena that arise in the process. In ultra-high-speed cutting, where the cutting speed exceeds the speed at which plastic waves propagate, the lab investigates the physical phenomena that occur when a plastic shock wave travels through the plastic shear zone. Using a finite element method simulation program developed by Associate Professor Shinozuka, the lab calculates how stress waves propagate and how the cutting process unfolds. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Dr. SHINOZUKA Jun's Laboratory".

Shoji Maruo, Professor

The Optical Microfabrication Lab develops ultra-high-resolution 3D printing using laser light (microstereolithography) and studies how to build microscopic three-dimensional structures. Using photocurable resin, which changes from liquid to solid when irradiated with laser light, the lab has technology to fabricate structures from the submicron to the submillimeter scale. The lab also advances application research, such as light-driven micropumps and bioceramic structures for regenerative medicine of bone and teeth. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Maruo Lab".

Takahiro Yamada, Professor

The Advanced Mechatronics Lab studies next-generation sensors and systems based on advanced processing of soft matter. Its research rests on three pillars: exploring new processing methods for organic materials, developing next-generation sensors for healthcare and medical applications, and developing systems that integrate them. Building on mechanical engineering and combining chemistry, molecular biology, and electrical and electronic engineering, the lab proposes devices and systems based on new concepts. The lab's website presents it under the name "Ota Lab."

Fumihiro Inoue, Professor

The Functional Surface Creation Lab studies 3D integration technology, which is essential for next-generation semiconductors. Centered on back-end process technology for semiconductors, the lab works on bonding to connect chips, polishing to finish surfaces, and plating for interconnects. Although it does semiconductor research, it is not an electrical and electronic engineering lab; it studies the mechanical engineering used in semiconductor manufacturing. A university can study only part of the process, so the lab aims for practical application through joint research with companies.

Kengo Manabe, Assistant Professor

The Dynamic Materials Design Lab centers on biomimetics, which imitates the mechanisms of living organisms, and studies functional surface and interface materials that support mechanical systems. Through nano- and microstructure fabrication, surface modification, and 4D printing, the lab controls wetting, friction, and adhesion to develop materials with functions such as superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity, ultralow friction, and anti-icing. The lab also develops intelligent materials that change shape in response to their environment and exhibit functions as a result, aiming at applications in sustainable materials, biomaterials for medical devices, and process materials for manufacturing such as semiconductors. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Manabe Lab."

Kazuhiro Ishii, Professor

The Combustion Engineering Lab studies the fundamentals and applications of detonation, a form of combustion that is extremely fast. Combustion is a complex phenomenon in which thermal and fluid dynamic phenomena are coupled. Besides applications such as aerospace propulsion systems, the lab also works on hydrogen combustion burners and on controlling and reducing combustion emissions that are harmful to the human body.
