Takashi Amemiya, Professor
0 student voices
The Amemiya Lab studies phenomena in which chemical reactions and reactions inside cells change periodically over time or move in unison. In addition to nonlinear chemical reactions, the lab investigates glycolytic oscillations in cancer cells and synchronization between cells. It is also extending its research to metabolic oscillations in astrocytes, the cells that make up the brain.
Kenji Aramaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Aramaki Lab studies the properties of materials involved in gels and cleaning, focusing on molecular assemblies formed when molecules such as surfactants gather together. The lab investigates the structures of micelles and liquid crystals that surfactants form in water, and the thickening and gelation that result from them. To improve the mechanical properties of gels, it also works on orthogonal hydrogels, which combine networks of molecular assemblies with different properties. The lab has also published papers on the foam of dishwashing detergents and on how long antibacterial and antiviral effects last after handwashing.
Yasushi Oka, Professor
0 student voices
Oka Lab studies the flow of heat and smoke when a fire occurs. Its listed research areas are analysis and assessment of fire hazards, fire cause investigation, combustion behavior of combustible materials, and prediction of fire detection and activation times. In addition to studying how smoke spreads inside tunnels, the lab has also investigated the properties of hot gas flows that spread beneath ceilings. The lab also studies fatigue among firefighters during firefighting operations.
Shinji Okazaki, Professor
0 student voices
With sensor engineering and corrosion engineering as its research keywords, Okazaki Lab studies the development of chemical sensors and the evaluation of corrosion and coating degradation. Its research background includes the development of electrochemical sensors that use corrosion reactions, gas sensors using optical fibers, and high-concentration ozone sensors. As themes for which it seeks joint research, the lab lists the development of chemical sensors, the evaluation and analysis of various process technologies using electrochemical methods, and the evaluation of degradation in organic coatings.
Toshimitsu Kanai, Professor
0 student voices
Kanai Lab studies materials that make use of structures in which colloidal particles are arranged in an orderly way. Using microfluidic devices, the lab developed a method for continuously producing spherical particles made of aggregated particles in a short time, and has investigated their application as UV-shielding agents. The lab also works to clarify the relationship between particle arrangement and spectral properties, in colloids that form ordered structures with the particles kept apart and in composite materials where that arrangement is fixed with a polymer. Prof. Kanai's areas of expertise are optical materials, colloid chemistry, and microfluidics. The lab is currently aiming to directly capture low-concentration CO2 from the atmosphere and continuously synthesize hexagonal plate-shaped calcite crystals, in order to make artificial marble plates with strength and structural color that mimic the microstructure of abalone shells.
Takashi Kameya, Professor
0 student voices
The Kameya Lab studies methods for properly managing chemical substances that cause environmental problems. Using methods such as bioassays, instrumental analysis, and model analysis, the lab evaluates chemical substances in the environment and analyzes environmental risks. The lab is presented together with the Kobayashi Lab as the Environmental Safety Management Lab. Each lab holds its own lab seminars, and the two also hold joint retreats, progress meetings, and training sessions. The predecessor of the Environmental Safety Management Lab is the Environmental Safety Engineering Lab of the former Department of Safety Engineering, which in 1967 was approved to specialize in research and education on pollution and environmental safety.
Mieko Kumasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Kumasaki Lab conducts research to prevent chemical substances and chemical reactions from running out of control and leading to explosions or other accidents. Its work on safety and peace of mind ranges from hazard evaluation and effective use of high-energy materials, and analysis and prevention of runaway reactions, to methods for chemical process management and safety education. Through experiments with chemical substances, simulations using computer software, and survey-based research, the lab considers the safety of entire systems involving multiple interacting factors. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Process Safety Engineering Lab."
Tadahiro Shibutani, Professor
0 student voices
The Shibutani Lab studies the fundamental theory and practice of safety management for mechanical systems. Built on safety engineering, its work covers risk management, health management based on failure prediction, reliability engineering, computational analysis, and failure analysis. Yokohama National University is regarded as a well-known university in the field of safety engineering, ever since Japan's first Department of Safety Engineering was established there in 1967. In addition to graduate students, the lab also conducts research and education for undergraduate students.
Atsushi Takagaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Takagaki Lab researches and develops solid catalysts that contribute to a society with circular use of carbon resources. Using a catalytic chemistry approach, the lab aims to realize a sustainable society. The lab conducts catalyst research on the conversion of methane, biomass, and plastics, and also incorporates mechanochemical reactions, which use mechanical force to drive chemical reactions. Lab visits and consultations are accepted at any time, from both inside and outside the university.
Koji Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies how to improve the reliability and performance of structural materials used in energy equipment, chemical plants, automobiles, and aircraft. Building on materials science and mechanics of materials, the lab addresses problems such as material fatigue and surface cracks. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Energy Equipment Materials Lab."
