TAKEUCHI Yoshinori

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Integrated System Design Laboratory

Integrated System Design, Embedded Systems

VLSI is a key technology to design integrated systems. In designing integrated systems, we should optimize many metrics such as low power, low energy, high robustness and high performance. This laboratory conducts research concerning integrated system design methodology and design itself.

NAKANO Hitoshi

Position: Professor
Laboratory: Laser Engineering Laboratory

Laser Engineering

We are actively conducting research related to laser and electrical energy control, for example, development of new lasers, new functional materials by laser treatment, laser peening, and development of fast high-voltage switch using power semiconductors.

MATSUDA Tokiyoshi

Position: Professor

Sensor, MEMS, Oxide semiconductor

YAMANISI Hirokuni
