Research Content

We are conducting research on multimodal artificial intelligence for human-in-loop systems to support human decision-making in information-overloaded environments, and data science to accelerate new scientific insights.
Notably, we strongly promote ongoing collaboration with researchers and companies in a wide range of fields, including physics, biology, environment, disaster prevention, and education, and are working to apply our research to society(business).

Students from the lab give presentations at an international conference.

A Day in the Lab

In our lab, weekly seminars are held to enhance research ideas and practice presentation skills. Professors are always available to support students in all aspects, from academics to student life. In particular, professors wholeheartedly encourage and support students to actively participate in writing papers and giving presentations at conferences both domestically and internationally. Besides research life, we also regularly organize “Nomikai”(a Japanese-style after-work drinking party), cherry blossom viewing, Hanabi(firework festival)and softball activities to connect the members together.

Students participate in soft ball activities after study hours.
