Robert Greene, Professor
0 student voices
The Greene-Vogt Lab studies neural activity in the brain during slow-wave sleep, which is regarded as the deepest of the sleep stages. During slow-wave sleep, groups of neurons in the cortex show strongly synchronized on (active) and off (silent) states, producing a characteristic pattern in the EEG. Neural activity in the on state closely resembles that of wakefulness, but recent studies from this lab have revealed important differences. The lab examines cortical neurons and their networks during slow-wave sleep in detail.
Hirofumi Toda, Project Assistant Professor

The Toda Lab uses fruit flies to study how sleep is regulated by genes. Sleep is a behavior widely conserved among animals, but many mysteries remain about its function and mechanisms. Project Assistant Professor Toda discovered nemuri, a gene that induces sleep, and aims to elucidate how "sleepiness" is represented in the brain. The lab belongs to the International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS).
Takashi Abe, Project Associate Professor

The Abe Lab conducts research on human sleep and sleepiness in the fields of behavioral science, psychophysiology, and neuroscience. Currently, the lab mainly works on a method for estimating reaction time as a continuous value through non-contact measurement of eyelid indices, and on EEG-based estimation of emotion in dreams during REM sleep. The lab aims to prevent accidents caused by sleepiness and to realize a safe and productive society.
Naomichi Ezumi, Associate Professor

The Plasma Research Center is a hub for plasma fusion research, using GAMMA 10/PDX, the world's largest tandem mirror plasma confinement device. The center works on one of the biggest challenges in realizing a fusion reactor: making a 100-million-degree fusion plasma core coexist with the room-temperature wall that surrounds it. The center also studies how to control the boundary plasma between the core and the wall, and develops high-power microwave oscillation tubes (gyrotrons). A new superconducting mirror-type device is currently under construction.
WANG Jiachuan, Project Assistant Professor

The AI4DB (AI for Databases) lab studies AI for Data Enhancement. The lab aims to bring out the full potential of new data flows in the era of large models. The lab works on enhancing spatiotemporal data, enhancing image data, and developing applications that use low-quality data.
Shuntaro Yada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Shuntaro Yada works on research that applies natural language processing to social problems and implements it as systems. While building systems, the lab is attempting to turn expert knowledge into a form that can be computed. So far, the lab has built a system that summarizes and visualizes medical and clinical literature, and a system that supports school libraries. The lab pursues "computing for knowledge and language," which connects knowledge woven in words to the future through computational technology.
Atsushi Ito, Professor
0 student voices
The Ito Lab studies algebraic geometry, a branch of algebra. It focuses in particular on positivity of line bundles and toric geometry. The University of Tsukuba's researcher directory lists algebraic geometry, positivity of line bundles, and toric varieties as research keywords.
Daisuke Sagaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Sagaki Lab studies the representation theory of Lie algebras and quantum groups, connecting it with combinatorics. Its research keywords include crystal bases, crystals, path models, and Demazure modules. Recent co-authored papers include work on quantum K-theory of flag varieties and on Macdonald polynomials. The faculty list of the Mathematics Degree Program lists Prof. Sagaki as a professor in the Algebra group.
Akira Masuoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Masuoka Lab studies Hopf algebras, (super) group schemes, Galois theory, and tensor categories. Prof. Akira Masuoka, who heads the lab, is a professor who studies mathematics at the University of Tsukuba. The lab's website carries records of research meetings and seminars on Hopf algebras. The professor has also written articles introducing Galois theory and an introductory textbook on linear algebra.
Scott Carnahan, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Carnahan Lab studies representation theory, with an emphasis on low-dimensional physics and number theory. Its main problem is Monstrous Moonshine, which involves infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, vertex algebras, algebraic curves, and modular functions. Recently, the lab has also been working on computer-based formalization in the programming language Lean 4, centered on vertex algebras and Lie algebras.
