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.
Junji Fukuda, Professor
0 student voices
Fukuda Lab uses microfabrication, surface chemical modification, and cell and tissue culture technologies to research devices that can be used in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and medical diagnostics. The lab works on fabricating three-dimensional tissues with vascular networks using electrochemical reactions, fabricating liver tissue from iPS cells, and hair regeneration. Prof. Fukuda holds that cutting-edge medicine cannot exist without engineering design and devices, and aims to develop medical devices, materials, and technologies. The lab's website also uses the name "Bio Microsystem lab."
Mikako Tanaka, Assistant (Joshu)

The lab lists thermal engineering as its field of research. The researcher directory lists "thermal engineering" and "basic physical chemistry" as research fields. Recent papers deal with hydrogen production from ethanol using porous materials, drying and rewetting in narrow tubes, and the thermal behavior of PET treated with UV ozone.

Fukuda Lab uses microfabrication, surface chemical modification, and cell and tissue culture technologies to research devices that can be used in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, medical diagnostics, and more. In particular, the lab works on fabricating three-dimensional tissues with vascular networks using electrochemical reactions, fabricating liver tissue from iPS cells, and hair regeneration. The lab also researches on-chip cell culture and its functional evaluation, as well as biofuel cells. Prof. Fukuda believes that engineering design and technology are essential to realizing regenerative medicine and bioartificial organs.
Kazutoshi Iijima, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Kazutoshi Iijima in biorelated chemistry studies materials for biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine. As materials that serve as a foundation for cell growth (cell scaffolds), the lab works with hydrogels made from substances such as gelatin. It has also worked on three-dimensional cell culture using silica nonwoven fabric. The lab is developing materials that adjust the environment around cells, such as gels whose properties can be changed with light and collagen gels in which cells are aligned using flow.
Shinichi Ogata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Shinichi Ogata studies the DNA damage response in plants and the evaluation of chemical substances using gene responses as indicators. In addition to its work on the plant DNA damage response, the lab studies alternatives to animal testing using higher plants, and methods for evaluating skin-sensitizing substances in vitro. Its research themes also include the effects of cosmetic ingredients on reef-building corals and a new system for evaluating endotoxin.
Atsushi Suzuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Atsushi Suzuki studies the development of primordial germ cells in the field of developmental biology. The lab has published papers on RNA-binding proteins such as Dead end1 and NANOS2, which act as germ cells develop. A 2023 paper from the lab reported that loss of Dead end1 leads to testicular teratoma. Using mice, the lab investigates the mechanisms by which testicular teratoma arises.
Seiichiro Ueki, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Seiichiro Ueki studies vector spaces formed by analytic (holomorphic) functions on complex domains, and the linear operators defined on those spaces. By classifying analytic functions under various conditions, the lab considers function spaces with different topological properties. The properties of each function space are investigated using function theory, functional analysis, Fourier analysis, and related fields. In the Mathematical Sciences Educational Program (EP) of the Department of Mathematics, Physics, Electronics and Information Systems, the professor teaches Functional Analysis and Introduction to Mathematical Sciences.
Erika Ushikoshi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Erika Ushikoshi specializes in the theory of partial differential equations, within the field of analysis. Partial differential equations describe natural phenomena mathematically on the basis of physical laws, and the lab aims to understand the essence of these phenomena more deeply through their analysis. In particular, the lab mathematically examines how the solutions and eigenvalues of equations are affected when a small perturbation is applied to the domain. The equations studied are the Navier–Stokes equations, the Stokes equations (their linearization), and the Lamé equations, which describe the vibration of elastic bodies.
Katsunori Okajima, Professor
0 student voices
The Okajima Lab (Visual Cognition Mechanisms) studies how the brain processes information from the five senses, with a focus on vision. Using psychophysics, a method that presents stimuli to people and measures their psychological responses, the lab investigates the mechanisms of perception and summarizes them in models. These findings are applied to the development of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), information display systems, and more. The lab also carries out joint research with companies, universities, and research institutes.
