7 new teachers have been appointed
Photonics Integration System Research Center
Prof. Tomoyuki Miyamoto
My name is Tomoyuki Miyamoto, and I have been promoted to professor at the Future Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Science and Technology
(FIRST) on April 1, 2025. Since receiving my Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1996, I have been involved in teaching and research at the university as an assistant professor, instructor, and associate professor.
In addition, I served as a member of the Research Promotion Bureau of MEXT for two years from 2004. My research is in the field of optoelectronics and photonics, and is based on my research on semiconductor materials and surface-emitting lasers since my undergraduate days. In recent years, I have focused on Optical Wireless Power Transmission (OWPT), a new application area for lasers. In particular, I am researching on system and device development as well as application development. I am aware that I am pioneering a “field” that offers exciting hopes for society to the young people who will lead the next generation. I will continue to do my best to contribute to the development of our university and research institute in cooperation with all of you. I thank you for your continued support.

ICE Cube Center
Prof. Norio Chujo（Specially Appointed）
My name is Chujo, and I joined the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology (FIRST) on April 1, 2025. Previously, I was engaged in R&D at a company, working on high-speed transmission circuits and signal/power integrity for measurement equipment, information devices, optical communication modules, and millimeter-wave modules. Going forward, I hope to leverage this experience to contribute to the advancement of 3D stacking technologies (BBCube), particularly in the areas of electrical/thermal analysis and architectural design, and work toward social implementation. I look forward to your support and collaboration.

Urban Disaster Prevention Research Core／Multidisciplinary Resilience Research Center
Prof. Keisuke Himoto
I have been assigned to the Multidisciplinary Resilience Research Center as of April 1, 2025. Previously, I was working at the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, where I engaged in research and development related to fire safety standards for buildings. While fire safety standards cover various aspects such as evacuation safety, structural fire resistance, and fire spread prevention, I primarily focused on studies related to fire spread prevention. The Wajima City fire that occurred during the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January 2024 is a prime example of the type of fire that needs to be addressed for safety measures. Forest fires are similar to urban fires, and recently, a large-scale forest fire occurred in Ofunato City in March 2025. Due to climate change impacts, forest fire damage may be increasing in scale, making future initiatives in this area particularly important.
Applied Electronics Research Core
Asst. Prof. Tatsuya Kaneko
I am Tatsuya Kaneko, and I joined the AI Computing Research Unit as an Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology on April 1, 2025.
After obtaining my Ph.D. from Hokkaido University in March 2023, I worked as a project assistant professor at the University of Tokyo. During my doctoral program, my research focused on algorithms and hardware for machine learning aimed at edge devices. Currently, my research interests include distributed machine learning, which enables collaborative learning among multiple devices while maintaining privacy by sharing AI models instead of local data, known as federated learning. I am committed to advancing distributed machine learning, which will pave the way for the next generation of information society through the “intelligence of things”.
I look forward to your guidance and support in the future.

Advanced Manufacturing and Social Integration Research Core
Asst. Prof. Ruixi Zhang
My name is Ruixi Zhang, and I have been appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology (FIRST) since April 1, 2025. After obtaining my Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2023, I served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Nagoya University.
My research focuses on the development and structural characterization of carbon-based materials. I aim to establish novel methods to improve the wear and oxidation resistance of carbon-based hard coatings, thereby contributing to a carbon-neutral society through superior durability and reduced energy consumption. Additionally, I strive to advance synthesis and evaluation techniques for innovative low-dimensional materials from a nanotechnology perspective.

Quantum Nanoelectronics Research Center
Asst. Prof. Masato Saito
My name is Masato Saito, and I have been appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Quantum Nanoelectronics Research Center at the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology (FIRST), effective April 1, 2025. I recently received a degree, Doctor of Engineering, from the School of Life Science and Technology in March of this year. My research focuses on the development of bio-implantable thin-film devices utilizing polymer thin-film fabrication technology in conjunction with nanomaterial printing and transfer technologies. In the Tokuda Laboratory, I would like to conduct research that develops high-performance medical devices by leveraging the lab’s strengths in integrated circuit design and fabrication technology to create power-saving and ultra-small devices. I also hope to challenge the integration of nanoelectronics and biotechnology by constructing in vivo and in vitro evaluation systems. I am sure that there are many things I am not doing well, but I would appreciate your guidance and encouragement.

Quantum Nanoelectronics Research Center
Asst. Prof. Shiori Matsuda
I am Shiori Matsuda and have been appointed as an assistant professor at the Laboratory for Future Interdisciplinary Research of Science and Technology (FIRST) since April 1, 2025.
My research has focused on 3D bio-imaging, which visualizes cell structures by illuminating fluorescently labeled cells and observing the excited fluorescence. In the future, I would like to challenge research on the observation of the effects of terahertz waves on cells, as well as biological measurements using terahertz devices. I look forward to your guidance and support.
