Cyber Crime Prevention Education and Public Safety Policy
In this research group, we conduct cybercrime prevention education and research with a focus on volunteer educational activities (workshops) where students teach internet safety to elementary, middle, and high school students. Additionally, we explore and study effective policies related to various issues concerning societal safety.
Furthermore, our research group is unique in that it not only engages in research activities related to cybercrime prevention education and social safety policy, but also provides an opportunity to “apply” the knowledge gained through individual research by offering special classes to elementary, middle, and high school students.

Cyber-Law Project
Legal issues relating to 'Cyber-Law and Information Law', dealing with network and legal issues in the information society, and 'Robot Law', relating to AI and robots, are arising in various new problems which cannot be covered by the existing legal framework. This research project will focus on the legal aspects, using case studies to discuss what kind of issues should be considered and what kind of responses are expected to solve such issues.
Politics and Diplomacy in Japan
How much do we understand about the country we live in? In my interactions with political scientists and scholars of Japan from around the world, I am often asked, "Why is Japan's politics so stable while the rest of the world is facing democratic difficulties? After the "lost 20 years" since 1993, and the two governmental changes in 2009 and 2012, the shape of Japanese politics has changed dramatically. However, there are still many challenges. It can be said that there is a need to understand and communicate this intrinsically. What can we learn from Japanese politics, how can we change it, and how can we communicate it to the world?
When we think about the state of Japanese politics and diplomacy (modern and contemporary) in this way, we naturally need to have a basic knowledge and understanding of its structure. However, how much of this intellectual foundation is shared? If the necessary foundations are neglected, all the hard work that has gone into the creation process may be lost. It goes without saying that it is necessary to acquire a foothold and stance to think and judge for oneself, rather than using borrowed understanding and convenient data.
Therefore, this seminar will take Japanese politics and diplomacy as its subject, with the goal of systematically understanding the structure of the problems that appear in it. We will use excellent texts in political science and history as a starting point for discussions on the background, institutions, and personalities, in order to gain a foundation for our own thinking. Students will then engage in a series of exercises to analyze and communicate their findings based on a systematic understanding, and refine their ability to think and discuss Japanese politics and diplomacy in your own words.
Challenging the social determinants of health
The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, that influence health outcomes. We welcome students who value an inclusive society and community for health and wellbeing of individuals. Each study group will deepen discussions on their own topic and conduct field activities. Some examples of issues carried out in the past were; "Wellbeing of the elderly in the community", "Diversity and Inclusion in the campus and community", "Gender and sexuality studies", "Improving learning environment for long-term hospitalized children", "Improving recruitment of donors for bone marrow transplants". Students who are interested in such topics are welcome. The seminar is open for diverse people but strong comittment is required.
AQUA: Quantum computers and quantum networks
Research into Quantum Computing and Quantum Internet. Theory, simulation, programming of real quantum computers, quantum networking experiments.
We also work on Quantum Education and support the domestic and international Quantum Community.
Distributed Storage Systems and Computer Network Architecture
Even though we have had the Internet for several decades now, it continues to evolve. In this research group, we are developing new basic Internet infrastructure technologies. In addition, we study distributed storage systems and computer architecture. FPGAs are used for high-speed transfer of data across networks.

Intercultural Communication -A critical perspective
In the 'Intercultural Communication -A critical perspective’ seminar, we explore the issues regarding culture, ethnicity/nationality/race, language, gender, class, and identity in intercultural communication. Culture is not a fixed entity but is created, negotiated, and contested by multiple parties and power interests. Our intercultural lives and encounters are deeply intertwined with various forms of power that often go unnoticed. Therefore, it is important that we understand the power at work in an intercultural context and develop critical literacy. Then, we can address imbalanced power relations and empower us to creatively seek alternative possibilities beyond the status quo.
We will explore the issues through reading and discussing books/videos/articles. Students will also conduct a project/ research on related topics by themselves or with other members of the seminar.
