Ayato Kanada, Tenure-Track Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kanada Lab develops original mechanisms and actuators to build robots capable of motions never seen before. For example, it is working on tentacle-type arms that extend, contract, and bend freely, like those seen in movies and anime. Current research includes a crawler robot that bends in the middle, a snake robot driven by few motors, and a telescoping arm inspired by woodpeckers. The lab was established in October 2025.
HOANG TRONG THUC, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Hoang Lab's main research areas are digital signal processing, computer architecture, cybersecurity, ultra-low-power circuits, and system-on-chip. The professor's personal website, Thuctorial, publishes collections of RISC-V chips and instructions for building systems with a trusted execution environment (TEE). The site is said to have been created for the author's own self-study and to help people who are just beginning to study computer science.
Nattapong Kitsuwan, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kitsuwan Lab studies the design and control of flexible networks that meet users' requirements. As user demand grows, Internet traffic has been increasing rapidly. Its main research areas are SDN technology, optical network technology, and networking fundamentals. The lab incorporates networking technologies into its research so that networks can be implemented and controlled easily.
Hideki Yagi
0 student voices
The Yagi Lab studies coding problems in information and communication systems, from the standpoint of the theoretical limits of reliability and efficiency. Centered on multiuser information theory and coding theory, the lab works on coding aimed at applications such as wireless networks. The lab also works on information security research that applies information theory and coding theory. The research descriptions on the lab website date from around 2015.
Yasutada Oohama, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohama-Santoso Lab studies the efficiency, reliability, and security of information and communication networks, from fundamentals to applications. Its research theme is "secure multimedia information and communication networks," covering both communication mechanisms and cryptographic and authentication mechanisms. The lab attempts to build and analyze service and communication systems, and also aims to develop an engineer's intuition about the limits and possibilities of communication networks. As research fields, Professor Ohama lists information theory, and Associate Professor Santoso lists information security and cryptography.
Tomohiro Ogawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Building on information theory, the Ogawa Lab aims to apply, extend, and deepen it in fields such as quantum information, information geometry, communication, cryptography, random numbers, and mathematical physics. Information theory is an engineering theory that is also fundamentally related to mathematics, physics, probability theory, and statistics. The lab regards its mission as sharing its research results with the world, and providing a place of education that cultivates the ability to understand and solve engineering problems theoretically and mathematically. Concretely, research toward bachelor's and master's theses is in many cases carried out mainly through computer simulations and experiments.
Fang Shang, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Shang Lab studies methods for analyzing man-made structures on the ground from data collected by satellite-mounted synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Using the ASV features proposed by Associate Professor Shang, the lab has worked on extracting urban areas, estimating building orientation, and observing damage to structures before and after earthquakes. From fiscal year 2025, the lab aims to extend its analysis methods to dual-polarization and compact-polarization observation modes, and to use them for analyzing information on damage to structures, measuring forest biomass, and monitoring crop conditions. The lab studied a method to distinguish coniferous forests from broadleaf forests using L-band polarimetric SAR data, and published a paper on it in 2021. In 2025, it also presented ship detection at an international conference, combining the fluctuation of the degree of polarization with mean intensity.
Motoharu Matsuura, Professor
0 student voices
Building on optical fiber communication technology, the Matsuura Lab researches technologies that will be useful for future optical fiber and wireless communication, with a focus on demonstration experiments. The lab works on power over fiber, which sends communication signals and electric power together through an optical fiber, and on transmission using hollow-core fiber, whose core is made of air. Another research theme is a drone that is powered and controlled through optical fiber.
Masazumi Kurihara
0 student voices
The Kurihara Lab researches coding, a technology that protects digital data from noise and eavesdropping. There are three types of coding: source coding, which aims at efficiency; encryption, which aims at security; and channel coding, which aims at reliability. On its website, the lab explains the relationship between reliability and efficiency, using distributed coding, which splits data across multiple hard drives, as an example. Past research themes, such as private information retrieval and distributed storage systems, are also posted on the website.
Hisaaki Tanaka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Advanced Distributed Systems Lab (Tanaka Lab) studies the mechanisms of synchronization, the phenomenon in which initially disordered rhythms gradually fall into step. The lab's members come from backgrounds in electrical engineering, electronic and communication engineering, information science, nonlinear physics, and applied mathematics. Recently, the lab has been working on the energy budget of injection locking, and has also developed a framework for estimating quantities such as noise intensity from oscillators that are synchronized under noise. The lab's website also describes research on wireless distributed communication networks and on networks of true slime molds, but that description dates from around 2008.
