Toshiaki Hattori, Professor
0 student voices
The Nonlinear Photonics Lab studies the generation and application of terahertz waves using lasers, and the application of coherent Raman scattering to life science and medicine. Laser light can induce a variety of nonlinear optical phenomena. The lab is also called the Hattori-Kano-You Lab. In the first year after joining the lab, students take turns presenting and reading English-language technical books on research (mainly optics) until summer vacation.
Kentaro Shiraki, Professor

The Protein Science Lab studies solutions in which proteins are dissolved. Protein solutions are involved in controlling familiar foods such as egg white, stabilizing biopharmaceuticals, activating enzymes, and developing cosmetics. The lab calls the framework that organizes ways of viewing solutions and compiles design methods for stabilization, activation, and aggregation control "protein solution science." On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Shiraki-Ura Lab."
Yoshiaki Yasuno, Professor

The Medical Imaging Lab researches biomedical optical measurement, centered on technologies such as optical coherence tomography. It started in 1999 as a research group within the Applied Optics Lab, decided in 2002 to make biomedical optical measurement its central research theme, and became an independent research group in 2007. A 2017 introduction of the lab also lists ophthalmic imaging, skin imaging, and 3D polarization microscopy as research areas. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Computational Optics Group."
Yasuhiko Terada, Associate Professor

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lab (Terada Lab) develops and researches MRI equipment and imaging methods. Drawing on physical engineering and information engineering, the lab creates key technologies for using MRI and extends them beyond medicine to fields such as plants, food, and materials engineering. Except for the magnet, all hardware and software are developed in-house in the lab. Current focuses include developing a mobile MRI screening vehicle mounted on a standard passenger car, developing quantitative MRI technology, applying deep learning to MRI, and MRI-based microscopy.
Muneaki Hase, Professor

The lab uses ultrashort pulse lasers of about 10 femtoseconds (1 femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second) to conduct basic and applied research on ultrafast optical properties of matter. In crystals such as two-dimensional layered materials, it generates lattice vibrations with aligned phase (coherent phonons) and attempts to control phase transitions. The lab also pioneers nonlinear photonics in diamond, aiming for applications such as optical circuits.
Masaki Hada, Professor

The Hada Lab films "molecular movies" using a technique called ultrafast time-resolved electron diffraction. When light strikes a material, the lab observes how its atoms and molecules change, on a timescale of one trillionth of a second. The lab also develops the ultrafast time-resolved electron diffraction apparatus used for these observations. Its targets include the collective motion of molecules in liquid crystals and similar materials, reactions of nanocarbon, and phase transitions in strongly correlated materials.
Hidemi Shigekawa, Specially Appointed Professor

The Shigekawa Lab develops new measurement techniques at the extreme limits, built around scanning probe microscopy and fusing in cutting-edge technologies from different fields such as quantum optics. The lab aims to create measurement tools with extreme resolution in both time and space, by combining a light source with extreme time resolution and a microscope with atomic-level spatial resolution. With this technology, the lab aims to advance studies of physical properties at the nanometer scale and at the level of single molecules, the search for new materials, and the development of devices with new functions. The lab values not only collecting data by combining existing instruments, but also developing new experimental techniques.
Yoichi Yamada, Professor

The Surface Science Lab studies the fundamentals of electronic devices made from organic molecules, with self-assembly as the keyword. It is a field where chemistry and physics merge, and people from chemistry, physics, and biology work together on the research. The lab examines thin films of molecules with surface science techniques, studying the link between the "shape" of how molecules assemble and their function while actually "seeing" it. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Yamada Lab."
Masahide Ito, Specially Appointed Professor

The Hitachi High-Tech Advanced SEM Technology Lab studies core technologies for scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) in industry-academia collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech. SEMs can observe fine structures at the nanometer scale, and samples are easy to handle, so they are used in a wide range of fields, including nanotechnology and biotechnology. The lab tackles more difficult challenges in core SEM technologies such as electron guns and signal detectors, aiming to develop technologies that achieve high resolution, high precision, and high throughput. The lab says it aims to apply the results of the industry-academia collaboration between Hitachi High-Tech and the University of Tsukuba to product improvement, and to develop new SEMs and products that apply them.
Junichi Fujita, Professor

The Nanostructure Physics Lab (Fujita-Fujimori Lab) focuses on carbon-based materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, and studies the development of next-generation functional materials and their device applications. By combining device fabrication using electron beams and focused ion beams with structural analysis by electron microscopy, the lab creates nanostructures that are artificially controlled at the atomic level. Its research themes are wide-ranging, from the development of electron microscopes and shock-absorbing materials to technology for producing hydrogen from renewable-energy electricity. The lab's website states a policy of not assigning fixed topics to undergraduate thesis students or graduate students from the start, but letting them take up work that interests them as they go through life in the lab.
