  • New imaging technology using light and ultrasound
  • Analysis technology that make information from data
  • Biomedical application of the technology

Associate Professor / HIRASAWA Takeshi
He graduated Nagaoka Universty of Technology (NUT) Graduate School in 2010, and worked as an assistant professor at Department of Medical Engineering, National Defense Medical College (NDMC). In 2024, he returned to NUT to open this laboratory. His research interests include the development of imaging and sensing technologies using light and ultrasound (photoacoustics) and their biomedical application.

Research Content

1. Development of non-invasive imaging and sensing technology using various physical energies (mainly photoacoustic technology using light and ultrasound).
2. Development of data analysis technology that creates information from raw data (measured data). Examples include image reconstruction (converting raw data to images), image processing (improving image quality, quantifying images), and image recognition (estimating the state of specimens from images).
3. Joint research to apply research results to society (including the biomedical field).

A Day in the Lab

Since this laboratory will open from this academic year, the rules, events, schedule, etc. of this laboratory will be decided in consultation with this year's students (including you). The supervisor will manage the minimum schedule and progress necessary to proceed with research, but his basic policy is to respect the autonomy and independence of students. To develop communication skills with experts from other disciplines, the supervisor plans to provide students with opportunities to discuss with potential users of research results (physicians and researchers).
