Takuji Koike, Professor
0 student voices
The Koike Lab investigates the structure and function of living bodies through the measurement and numerical analysis of sound waves and vibration. For the ear, the lab models the peripheral auditory system, which receives sound, on a computer and simulates surgery. It also develops measurement devices and hearing aids that help in treating ear conditions, and examination technology that detects the risk of aspiration by checking food remaining in the throat. In agriculture, the lab studies the use of vibration transmitted through plants as a way to keep pests away without relying on pesticides.
Hidetaka Okada, Professor
0 student voices
The Okada Lab studies how people walk and run using biomechanical methods. Using motion analysis, the lab measures movement and analyzes the characteristics of lower-limb motion and the function of muscles. The lab focuses on the running of middle- and long-distance runners and on age-related changes in walking. The lab is also exploring ways to use movement data to evaluate gait characteristics and the degree of aging.
Dairoku Muramatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Muramatsu Lab studies the interaction between living bodies and electromagnetic waves and applies it to technologies in information and communications, medical healthcare, human interfaces, and other fields. A living body is a dielectric with unusual electrical properties, and its intricate tissue structure, individual differences, and constantly changing physiological activity combine to interact with electromagnetic waves in complex ways. The lab's research covers a wide range of areas, including human body communication that uses the body as a communication channel, wearable antennas, implantable medical devices, measurement of biosignals, and meat quality evaluation. The lab's motto is "Curiosity Driven Research," and it welcomes enthusiastic people who want to open up interdisciplinary fields without being bound by existing frameworks.
Kazuto Masamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Masamoto Lab studies the microscopic blood flow that supports brain activity and the transport of substances from blood vessels to brain cells. The lab examines how neurons and glial cells relate to blood flow, using both experiments such as in vivo optical imaging and theoretical approaches such as image analysis and transport simulation. The lab aims to contribute to preventive medicine that builds brains less prone to various diseases, and to the development of a "brain activity meter" that can simply measure brain activity in daily life.
Manabu Akita, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Akita Lab studies the foundational technologies of radar, which transmits and receives radio waves to measure the position and velocity of targets. Radar consists of modulation techniques, suppression of unwanted waves (clutter), signal processing to estimate target parameters, target recognition techniques, and more, and the lab advances research on these foundational technologies. The lab envisions applications such as in-vehicle radar for driver assistance and autonomous driving, foreign object detection on runways and similar sites, space debris observation, and natural science observation. The lab aims to develop radar modulation schemes and signal processing that make the most of available resources, such as the radio frequency bandwidth, the scale of the hardware, and prior knowledge about the measurement target and environment.
Tetsuro Funato, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Funato Lab combines measurement of movement and neural activity in humans and animals, mechanical analysis, control theory, and simulation to study the brain's mechanisms of prediction, learning, and adaptation. The lab moves back and forth between three approaches: measuring human movement, verifying with mathematical models, and investigating the brain using model animals. In addition to movement analysis of healthy people and patients with cerebellar disease, the lab conducts experiments using rats and monkeys. The lab hopes that clarifying how the brain generates movement will lead to robots that move around freely and to effective rehabilitation methods for patients with movement disorders.
Osamu Kaneko, Professor
0 student voices
The Kaneko Lab studies "control," which observes the motion of things and phenomena and breathes life into them. Established in 2016, it is a control theory lab that focuses on data-driven control, industrial applications, and modeling. The lab has no high-performance robots or expensive experimental equipment, but it always conducts research with an attitude of pursuing the essence.
Zhi Liu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Liu Lab studies how to send video data over wireless networks. As wireless devices become widespread, many kinds of video data are being transferred and shared over networks. Because wireless networks are unstable and have limited available bandwidth, the lab works on resource allocation, edge computing, and error recovery for video streaming, including immersive video such as VR. The lab uses AI techniques such as deep neural networks and deep reinforcement learning, together with optimization theory.
Taichi Yoshida, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab studies the fundamental theory of signal processing and applications to images and video built on it. The lab also works on applying signal processing, optimization theory, and deep learning to multimedia signals such as audio, acoustics, images, video, and text. It puts particular emphasis on image compression technologies such as JPEG, image and video processing, and computer vision. Students in Class II of the School of Informatics and Engineering are the main ones who can request assignment to the lab.
Koji Wada, Professor
0 student voices
The Wada Lab studies high-frequency passive circuits, such as filters, used in high-frequency bands like microwave and millimeter-wave. To communicate accurately on devices such as smartphones, a device must receive only a specific signal out of many radio waves, and filters are used for this technology. Filters are large compared with other circuits, so miniaturization is required, and achieving their functions with simpler structures is also a challenge. Research mainly proceeds by designing with a circuit simulator and an electromagnetic field simulator, then building actual prototype circuits and measuring and evaluating them.
