Jo Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato-Hiroshima Lab mainly studies particle physics and astrophysics. The lab also participates in several international collaborative experiments, approaching the fundamental laws of nature from both theory and experiment. It covers a wide range of topics, including the COMET experiment searching for muon-to-electron conversion, neutrino oscillations, grand unified theories, and dark matter. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Elementary Particle and Astrophysics Lab (Sato-Hiroshima Lab)."
Yusaku Katayose, Professor
0 student voices
The Katayose Lab observes cosmic rays and cosmic gamma rays to study phenomena occurring in outer space and in celestial objects. For observation, the lab uses a phenomenon called an "air shower," which cosmic rays create in the atmosphere. The lab also develops radiation detectors and electronics for measuring cosmic rays, and conducts research through simulation. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Cosmic Ray Physics Lab."
Akihiro Minamino, Professor
0 student voices
The Minamino-Bronner Lab explores the fundamental laws that govern the universe through astroparticle physics experiments centered on neutrino research. The research page lists four experiments: Hyper-Kamiokande, T2K, Super-Kamiokande, and J-PARC E71 (NINJA). The T2K experiment aims to discover violation of neutrino and antineutrino (CP) symmetry, and the Super-Kamiokande experiment aims to observe supernova relic neutrinos. The lab is recruiting master's and doctoral students.
Kan Akatsu, Professor
0 student voices
The M&E Energy Conversion Lab (Akatsu Lab) studies how to make motors and generators more efficient and higher-performing, focusing on design, analysis, fabrication, and control. The goal of the whole lab is to "contribute from an engineering standpoint toward zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050." The lab was established at the Shibaura Institute of Technology in FY2009 and moved to Yokohama National University in FY2019. The lab holds study sessions on motor fundamentals, power electronics, and control, in which senior students teach junior students, as well as seminars where students present the progress of their research.
Taro Arakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Arakawa Lab studies semiconductor-based devices such as optical modulators, optical switches, and semiconductor lasers, as well as photonic integrated circuits. The lab also works on optical biosensors and gas sensors, and related technologies. Its other main area is advanced plating technology for making electronic and optical devices, and its applications. The lab collaborates with other labs at Yokohama National University and with a group at the Materials and Surface Engineering Research Institute of Kanto Gakuin University.
Naoki Ishikawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Ishikawa Lab conducts research on wireless communications and quantum computing. Its main areas are high-speed mobile communications and applications of quantum computing to communications. The lab studies quantum optimization for wireless communications, post-quantum physical layer security, and communication schemes that deliver high performance with low computational complexity. Faculty members have backgrounds in both communications engineering and information engineering, so research themes can be set relatively flexibly.
Koichi Ichige, Professor
0 student voices
Ichige Lab uses knowledge of digital signal processing and numerical analysis to conduct applied research in mobile communications, image processing, and speech and acoustic signal processing. For a computer to handle continuous analog signals, the signals must be sampled and converted into digital signals. Recently, the lab has been incorporating machine learning techniques to add new approaches to conventional techniques. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Ichige Lab."
Takahide Oya, Professor
0 student voices
Oya Lab aims to create nanodevices with new functions by learning from nature, living organisms, and Japanese traditions. Its research rests on two pillars: experimental work that makes things, and work that designs circuits and investigates them through simulation. On the experimental side, the lab develops CNT composite paper, using methods adapted from Japanese washi papermaking, and composite thread (fabric) with CNTs fixed onto it. On the simulation side, it designs information processing that runs on single-electron circuits, taking cues from the behavior of slime molds and ants.
Kazuhiro Otsuka, Professor
0 student voices
The Otsuka Lab aims to realize artificial intelligence with "social intelligence" that can understand even subtle nuances of the mind, such as "ishin-denshin" (tacit mutual understanding) and "reading the room." The lab studies technologies that integrate data such as images, speech, language, and motion observed with cameras, microphones, and sensors, and automatically recognize and estimate people's emotions, intentions, personalities, and relationships with others. Its research covers observing human behavior in conversations and meetings, building mathematical models of behavior and inner states and recognizing them automatically, and applied systems such as remote meetings. Students learn techniques such as deep learning and Bayesian models through a "think while building" approach, hands-on developing programs and systems.
Hidemine Obara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Obara Lab studies power conversion using power semiconductor devices, along with related and applied technologies. Power electronics is widely used, from smartphones and home appliances to power generation and transmission facilities such as mega solar plants and frequency converter stations. The lab aims to create clean power conversion technology that drives an advanced electrified society. Now that highly efficient power conversion is taken for granted, the lab is taking on the challenges of lower noise, higher reliability, smaller size, lower cost, and more advanced functionality, which are required in an era of mass deployment of power converters.
