OHBOSHI Naoki

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Laboratory of Medical Informatics

Medical Informatics

We apply information technology to medical care safely and without imposing a burden on doctors or patients. To this end, we conduct research on ubiquitous computing, advanced image and video processing, and user-friendly interface technologies.

HABE Hitoshi

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Computer Vision Laboratory

Computer Vision, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition

We study techniques to process images captured by a camera and understand the things in the image and what is happening. We are working on analyzing human behavior from security cameras and the movement of animals in the wild, and we are tackling the development of fundamental technologies for computer vision.

HANDA Hisashi

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Computational Intelligence Research Group

Evolutionary Computation

Humans and biological life forms appropriately sift through information while achieving intelligent behavior. In this laboratory, we are researching efficient, high-performance learning and evolutionary algorithms inspired by nature and living organisms.

WADA Yoshitaka

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Fracture Mechanics Laboratory

Machine Learning for CAE surrogate modeling, Computational Mechanics (Automatic Model Generation, Finite Element Simulation), Fracture Mechanics, Crack Propagation Analysis, Non-Contact Strain Measurement

We assume that a cell phone will be dropped. Defects exist in structures. But…neither break immediately. To measure and simulate structural strength and damage caused by crack growth, and to develop and do research on evaluation techniques—these are our themes.

ABE Koji

Position: Associate Professor
Laboratory: Laboratory for Media Informatics and Cognitive Science

Media Informatics, Pattern Recognition, Medical Image Processing, Computer Vision

Our goal is to build an intelligent computer that behaves like a human. We are engaged in research involving image and audio media on a variety of software systems that take into account human subjectivity, experience, and sensitivity.

OCHI Youji

Position: Associate Professor
Laboratory: Intelligent Educational Information System Laboratory

Educational Information Technology

This lab focuses on the research field known as e-learning, and conducts R&D on sensing technologies and systems to recognize behavior and actions in education and learning. We make full use of application technologies such as artificial intelligence, multi-media technology, and computer vision.

HAMASUNA Yukihiro

Position: Associate Professor
Laboratory: Fundamentals of Intelligent Informatics Laboratory

Clustering Machine Learning Data Science

This laboratory is promoting greater sophistication in data analysis techniques, in particular, clustering, and is actively working on the development of new data analysis methods that will constitute useful tools for data mining, as well as their application.
