For Students Interested in Joining Our Laboratory

Our laboratory welcomes students both from inside and outside Tokyo Institute of Science. Depending on each student’s ability and motivation, we actively encourage participation in domestic and international conferences, publication in international scientific journals, and short-term study abroad programs.

If you have any questions or wish to visit the laboratory, please contact the faculty member you wish to work with. For undergraduate students, the Department of Mechanical Engineering usually organizes laboratory orientation events around March every year.

You can view the achievements of our students in 2021 here.
