Takayasu Fujino, Professor
0 student voices
The Plasma Electromagnetic Fluid Engineering Lab (Fujino Lab) researches the properties of fluids that respond to electromagnetic fields, with a focus on plasma. By understanding and modeling their many facets, including electrical, fluid, thermal, chemical, and radiative properties, the lab aims to connect the results to next-generation energy and propulsion technologies. The research spans electric power energy engineering and aerospace engineering, and includes both numerical simulation and experiments. For those considering joining, the lab accepts individual lab visits (online also available) at any time.
Takashi Matsushima, Professor

The Granular Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Lab researches with the aim of predicting, from particle-level mechanics, the phenomena in which ground and various granular materials deform, fail, and flow. To this end, the lab builds fundamental theory, develops a variety of experimental and analytical methods, and also works on their applied research. The lab belongs to the Frontier Engineering research group in the Department of Structural Energy Engineering, Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering. The lab website publishes bachelor's, master's, and doctoral theses.
Akihiro Matsuda, Associate Professor

The Polymer Materials Engineering Lab conducts research on sports and energy, using mechanics of materials and computational mechanics as tools. In particular, the lab is investigating new analysis methods for what are called soft materials, such as fibers, rubber, polymers, and plastics. The lab also studies design methods for items such as sportswear that can help athletes achieve better records. The lab belongs to the Division of Structural Energy Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Information and Systems.
Tetsuya Matsuda, Professor

The Matsuda Lab analyzes and evaluates the mechanical properties of advanced solid materials, such as composite materials and cellular structures, using multiscale simulation. These materials are lightweight and high-strength, and are attracting attention as environmentally friendly materials that can dramatically improve energy efficiency. Targeting subjects such as composite structures in aircraft engines, the lab also takes part in national projects and in joint research with other universities, companies, and research institutions.
Naoto Mitsume, Assistant Professor

The Mitsume Lab studies how to solve coupled problems, in which multiple phenomena are intertwined, using numerical analysis (simulation). The lab develops new analysis methods and mathematical models of phenomena from the perspectives of computational engineering and applied mathematics. Assistant Professor Mitsume, who leads the lab, became interested in coupled problems related to tsunamis and has worked on them for many years. The lab also conducts joint research with researchers in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, architectural engineering, and other fields, and makes an effort to let members choose the fields they are interested in.
Naoki Morita, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Morita Lab studies numerical methods and parallel analysis systems for difficult problems that arise in engineering. Phenomena such as solid deformation, fluid flow, and heat are written as governing equations, but few of them can be solved analytically, so solutions are obtained numerically on computers. Difficult problems include large-scale problems, in which computation time and memory usage increase; ill-conditioned problems, in which solution accuracy and the convergence of iterative solvers deteriorate; and optimization problems, in which constraints make solutions hard to find. The lab aims to solve such problems by combining deep knowledge of the academic field being analyzed with techniques in numerical methods and parallel computing.

The Building Structures Lab studies the seismic performance of concrete structures. The lab works on evaluating the seismic safety of existing low-strength concrete buildings, the bond between reinforcing bars and concrete, and the development of seismic retrofitting technologies. The goal is to realize sustainable architecture that is kind to people, the environment, and society. The information on the lab's website dates from around 2019.
Kyosuke Yamamoto, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab researches technology to inspect aging bridges quickly and at low cost. Its research covers methods for detecting bridge damage from the vibrations of passing vehicles, and measuring bridge vibrations with MEMS sensors. Students have opportunities to work on mathematically based analysis, numerical simulation using the finite element method (FEM), and field experiments. The lab's motto is "Civil Engineering Saves the World."
Kengo Suzuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Energy Risk Lab studies the interaction and relationship between engineering systems and society, with the aim of supporting consensus-building and decision-making related to energy and environmental systems. Using methods such as gaming, agent-based simulation, dynamic optimization models, and decomposition analysis, the lab provides interdisciplinary knowledge that goes beyond the boundaries of academic fields. The lab's main research topic is "technology choice by humans," and it aims to train people who combine a grounding in engineering with one in the social sciences.
