Advanced Social Energy System
|
The 21st century is called as “the century of environment”. In the field of electrical engineering, it is essential for further efficient energy generation, transportation, conversion, and usage in consideration of the environment. To realize it, static and rotating machines, and power electronics are key technologies.
Our laboratory focuses on the development of high-efficient electric machines, and the advanced system which is composed with several static and rotating machines and power converters. Research topics:
|
Risk Assessment and Management
|
The aim of our research is to enhance the safety of large-scale complex systems by utilizing the methods of risk assessment and management. Focusing on the aspects of interaction between human and machines, we study human factors problems from variety of viewpoints. In addition, dialogue between experts and citizens about science and technology is also studied for promoting mutual better understanding of the risk and benefit of advanced technologies. The examples of our research topics are as follows:
|
Management of Transportation and Society
|
We conduct pioneering research of the transportation management for sustainable society, taking into account the recent advances in self-driving technology, electric vehicles, big data in transportation, etc.
The relevant topics are:
|
Information and Communication Social Engineering
|
We will conduct research on the new generation of optical information communication technology and medical diagnosis systems applying them. Through studies on specialty optical fibers, optical sensors, optical functional devices, and research on biological information measurement/communication technology using light, develop flexible thinking and problem-solving skills.
