Biao Shen, Assistant Professor
1 student voices
The Interfacial Transport Engineering Lab studies, from fundamentals to applications, the phenomena in which heat and mass are transported at the boundary (interface) between liquid and gas. It aims to deepen understanding of the physics of boiling and condensation and to apply it to thermal management, which removes heat from systems ranging from computer CPUs to nuclear reactors. The lab works on controlling bubble motion by finely processing surfaces and patterning wettability.
Shigeru Yokota, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Yokota Lab (Space Propulsion Engineering Lab) researches engines for spacecraft such as satellites and planetary probes, known as space propulsion systems. Rather than conventional propulsion systems that use chemical reactions, the lab works on electric propulsion, which uses plasma as the propellant, and laser propulsion, which uses lasers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Space Propulsion Engineering Lab."
Keiichi Okajima, Professor

The New Energy Systems Lab researches the evaluation and risk analysis of new energy systems such as solar cells and fuel cells. It aims for sustainable development from the "3E" perspective, which takes into account not only energy but also the economy and the environment. Research groups work on life cycle assessment, resilience against power outages, and diagnosis of batteries and fuel cells. The lab is led by Professor Keiichi Okajima and Assistant Professor Yutaro Akimoto. In the weekly joint lab seminar, members read through reports on the global energy outlook in turn and present their research.
Yasunori Endo, Professor

The S-Computing Fundamentals Lab studies how to handle the inaccuracy and uncertainty of numerical computation and how to control the risks hidden in it. The key is "verified numerical computation," a computational method that accounts for every error arising in numerical computation and uses it to derive mathematically correct results. Using this method, the lab also works on "computer-assisted proofs," which carry out mathematical proofs on a computer. On the website of Associate Professor Takayasu's lab, "TakLAB," the lab is introduced as a joint lab of three labs, including the Endo Lab and the Sato Lab, with "S-Computing Fundamentals Group" as its official name.
Yukie Sano, Professor
1 student voices
The Sano Lab analyzes data on the web, such as social media, to study universal patterns in how society moves and the patterns in which information spreads. The lab works in a field called socioeconophysics, which treats people as a collective and analyzes and models them like particles, using the perspective of statistical mechanics. Once a week, the whole lab holds a lab seminar to report research progress, and once a week it holds a paper reading session in which members take turns presenting the content of a paper. Many students analyze data in Python, and besides programming, they also use English and mathematics to read papers.
Koichi Ushijima, Associate Professor

The Policy and Program Evaluation Lab conducts research that uses statistical causal inference to analyze phenomena with a major impact on society and uncover their causal relationships. Most of the causal relationships hidden in the world have yet to be uncovered. The lab does not limit itself to a single theme; each student works on a topic that interests and excites them. Data analysis is always part of the work.
Tomoki Mihara, Assistant Professor
1 student voices
The Mihara Lab studies derived rigid geometry, p-adic functional analysis, discrete optimization, and natural language processing. It belongs to the Algebra Group of the Mathematics Degree Program and is also assigned to the Center for Artificial Intelligence Research. The lab also reports, in papers and presentations, on research that uses p-adic numbers for data analysis and word embeddings.
Hajime Ono, Professor
1 student voices
The Ono Lab studies differential geometry, particularly Riemannian metrics and the problem of their existence. It investigates whether canonical metrics exist on spaces with geometric structures, such as Kähler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. The lab also works on the research topic "Einstein equations with matter fields and Kähler geometry." In the Mathematics Degree Program, it belongs to the Geometry Group.
Motoo Tange, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Tange Lab studies low-dimensional topology. The lab's website lists Dehn surgery, 4-manifolds, and Heegaard Floer homology as research topics. In addition to research, Associate Professor Tange teaches university courses, does outreach such as visits to junior high schools, high schools, and universities, and writes articles for general-audience magazines.
Naomichi Ezumi, Associate Professor

The Plasma Physics and Engineering Lab studies fusion plasma using the GAMMA 10/PDX tandem mirror device at the Plasma Research Center, University of Tsukuba. One of the major challenges in realizing a fusion reactor is making a plasma at 100 million degrees compatible with the room-temperature wall surrounding it. At the center, the lab works on controlling the edge plasma between the core and the wall, and on developing the gyrotron, a high-power microwave oscillator tube. GAMMA 10/PDX is 27 m long and is the world's largest tandem mirror plasma confinement device.
