Toshihiro Kameda, Professor
0 student voices
The Kameda Lab combines computer technology with laser, communication, and sensing technologies to tackle a variety of social problems. Not bound by conventional departmental boundaries, the lab works with computing technology ranging from supercomputers to embedded microprocessors. Its research themes are communication under compound disasters, laser melt cutting of concrete, heat wave simulation, and radiation resistance of materials for space.

The Smart Grid Lab researches the development and demonstration of algorithms and models that link electric power and data so that enough renewable energy is available when it is needed. Renewable energy such as solar power has unstable generation output, so it is difficult to secure enough of it when it is needed. A smart grid is a next-generation power network technology that aims to make supply more efficient and stable in power systems with a large share of renewable energy. It grasps electricity usage and generation in real time and uses that data to make effective use of power.

The Climate Smart City Lab studies how human-induced climate change affects the natural environment and human society, and considers countermeasures. Combining urban climate science, engineering solutions, and decision-making frameworks, it aims to reduce climate risk and improve energy efficiency and urban resilience. The research uses physical models such as climate models, climate observation and remote sensing data, and machine learning. It covers a range of scales, from buildings and neighborhoods to entire cities.

The Infrastructure Information Lab studies disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the engineering of lifelines. The lab's research page explains that efforts to analyze and evaluate disasters using the approach of risk science are expanding. Among risk events, the one drawing particular attention is catastrophe risk: events that occur rarely but cause enormous losses when they do.
Toshimichi Kyoto, Professor

The Hydraulic Engineering Lab focuses on each process of water flow and circulation, and conducts research that contributes to solving environmental problems in coasts, lakes, and rivers. Using methods such as remote sensing, field surveys, fluid experiments, and numerical analysis, the lab aims at understanding phenomena, developing technology, and making policy recommendations. The faculty members have formed the “Aquatic Environmental Engineering Research Group” and work together in a loosely coordinated structure. The college's page introduces the lab under a combined name covering the Kyoto, Takewaka, Shirakawa, and Dairaku labs.
Yuichi Shintaku, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shintaku Lab studies how cracks in materials propagate and lead to failure, through both numerical simulation and experiments. The lab develops methods that use state-of-the-art simulation technology to calculate crack propagation, and aims to clarify the mechanisms of fracture by comparing results with experiments. Its research extends from such fundamental work to applying it to evaluating the durability of actual structures. Alongside advances in computational mechanics and fracture mechanics, the lab also works on multiscale analysis based on probability theory and statistical mechanics.
Yu Daimon, Professor
0 student voices
The Daimon Lab (Space Development Engineering Research Group) studies propulsion systems for spacecraft and rockets, as well as combustion and heat flow inside engines. The lab investigates how cryogenic propellants spray out, break up into fine droplets, and mix; how they ignite and burn; and how to manage heat with evaporating liquid films. By combining experiments with modeling and numerical analysis, the lab aims to realize high-performance, safe space propulsion technology.
Koji Dairaku, Associate Professor

The Regional Hydroclimate Lab studies regional hydroclimate systems, building on hydraulic engineering, meteorology and climatology, and statistical mathematics. Amid climate change and socioeconomic changes such as population decline, the lab aims to support decisions and actions that contribute to a decarbonized society and to improved regional sustainability and resilience. The lab is motivated by the problem that conventional disaster prevention plans and measures are based on risk assessments that assume the climate does not change, and that these approaches are becoming inadequate.
Miho Seike, Associate Professor

The Spatial Engineering Lab studies how human behavior and the physical environment influence each other in enclosed spaces such as tunnels and building interiors. Focusing on evacuation behavior during fires, the lab examines human behavior, psychological state, and physiological responses together with physical phenomena such as smoke and heat. The lab combines full-scale evacuation experiments and fire experiments that account for similarity laws with measurements from various sensors and CFD simulation, aiming to reproduce real-world phenomena as faithfully as possible. Research centers on experiments, and requires physical stamina as well as analysis using mathematics and physics.
Mayuko Nishio, Associate Professor

The Infrastructure Informatics Lab (Nishio Lab) researches making the construction and operation of infrastructure structures such as bridges intelligent. Building on structural engineering and applied mechanics within civil engineering, the lab uses techniques and methods that span multiple fields, including advanced sensing, data science, and computational engineering. The lab aims to contribute to keeping structures in use safely and sustainably despite the risks of aging and disasters. Lab visits and consultations are accepted at any time.
