For Prospective Students

Our laboratory welcomes motivated students from both inside and outside Institute of Science Tokyo. According to each student’s abilities and interests, we actively encourage participation in domestic and international conferences, submission of papers to international scientific journals, and short-term study or research stays abroad.

For inquiries or requests for a laboratory visit, please contact the supervising faculty members whom you wish to work with. For undergraduate laboratory assignment, a laboratory tour is usually organized around March according to the schedule of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Highlights of our students’ activities in the academic year 2021 can be found here.
