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.
Yuki Yamanashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamanashi Lab aims to build next-generation computing systems with far higher computing power and power efficiency than today's computers, using superconducting electronics as its main tool. Its research fields are integrated electronics and quantum electronics, and the lab calls itself the "Superconducting Quantum Integrated Electronics Lab." The lab studies information processing with new devices and circuits, and also conducts research aimed at applications to quantum computing systems and machine learning, so it is closely connected with the fields of physics and information science. Its research covers a wide range of activities, including analysis, evaluation, optimization, design, and measurement.
Nobuyuki Yoshikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshikawa Lab researches integrated circuits with extremely low energy consumption in order to realize the advanced information society of the future. There are estimates that building a next-generation supercomputer from CMOS integrated circuits would require very large power consumption. The lab therefore researches superconducting integrated circuits that are far more power-efficient than CMOS integrated circuits, even when the energy needed for cryogenic cooling is included. Its goal is to spread this technology toward the realization of future high-end computers.
Junji Shikata, Professor
0 student voices
The Shikata Lab focuses especially on fundamental theory in the fields of cryptography, mathematical algorithms, information theory, and theoretical computer science. In today's information society, where people use the Internet and other networks, cryptography underpins the security that lets many people communicate and make contracts with confidence. Targeting public-key cryptography and cryptography whose security is guaranteed by information theory, the lab analyzes the security of cryptosystems and devises new ones from a theoretical standpoint. It also studies mathematical algorithms from various standpoints, including development and improvement that emphasize theory and those that emphasize implementation.
Keisuke Shima, Professor
0 student voices
The Shima Lab combines the mechanisms of the human body with artificial intelligence, aiming to support people effectively in a wide range of situations. The lab believes that people can be supported by properly measuring, evaluating, and using biosignals generated by human activity, such as electromyography, electroencephalography, and vital signs. Its research is built on four pillars: artificial intelligence models, human-machine interfaces, elucidation of movement mechanisms, and evaluation of motor function and training methods. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
