Touch Lab 1: Touch Fab
The main objective of this lab is to facilitate digital fabrication concerning body perception (haptics and tactile feelings). Combining the basic level of engineering, behavioral science, and psychological study, we implement haptic technology in real life in multiple contexts. We welcome fieldwork study including workshop facilitation on social implementations of haptic technology.
Rebooting Personal Computing
Since the end of the 20th century, the trend of mobile computing and ubiquitous computing has led to faster, larger, smaller, and more wireless computers, which have become widely used in our daily lives by optimizing them for each individual. However, the explosive amount of information produced by ICT/AI systems, for example, can lead to information overload in our daily lives, and the provision of individually optimized information (e.g., AI-based personal optimization of news articles provided on social networking sites) can distort the information we come into contact with and affect our thinking. It is also true that there are many problems created by the current architecture of typical information systems, such as the fragmentation of communities.
In this research, we will conduct research and development on a new information system architecture that is different from the typical individual-oriented architecture of "sensing personal big data, analyzing big data, and providing information optimized for the individual," always looking more than 10 years into the future.
Human-centered Computing for Cyber-Physical Well-Being
With the trend of mobile computing and ubiquitous computing since the end of the 20th century for the wellbeing of people and groups, computers have become faster, larger, smaller, and more wireless, and have widely penetrated into our daily lives. In this research, we are constantly looking into the future, more than 10 years into the future, to define the mental, physical, and social wellbeing of our lives (in both physical and cyber space) in the future, and to research and develop ICT/AI and other technologies to realize it.
Frontiers of Public Administration
This seminar aims to pursue the cutting-edge of public administration research. Reading the English literature, students will first learn what cutting-edge public administration research is. Given the literature review, students are asked to select a vital issue with public administration and then develop a research approach toward the issue under the supervision of the instructor.
Another activity of this seminar is fieldwork. Specifically, the seminar engages in Fujisawa City Promotion Project in which the instructor serves as a committee member. It will also implement observations in Yamanashi, Niigata, or Aomori where the population declines.

programming, mathematics
The theme of this research seminar is "mathematics and computer" in a broad sense. In this semester, we will study (A) machine learning and (B) generative art based on mathematical principles.
In this semester, we will run a reading seminar where every student reads, writes and contributes to the discussion. The topics are subject to change, depending on students' background and interests. (A) reference (1,2) about TensorFlow.js + online material, (B) reference (4) about generative design + work production. Individual study is also welcome if you do not have enough background knowledge.
There may be lectures on background materials and relevant topics by the instructor or guest lecturers.
mathematics, mathematical physics
The theme of this research seminar is "mathematics" in a broad sense. Mathematics has a long history of study and is essential in many fields, not only natural science but also engineering, medicine, finance, and the social sciences. Moreover, the importance of mathematics is increasing in the modern information society.
In this seminar, we will choose a few topics (depending on students' background and interests) and run a reading seminar where every student reads, writes and contributes to the discussion. The instructor's areas of expertise are geometry and algebra (and related mathematical physics), but we will appreciate diversity of the topics.
The topics we discussed include: group/ring/field, differential geometry, manifolds, differential equations, deep learning, mathematical logic, fluid dynamics, graph theory, mathematical puzzle, complex functions, constructive type theory, GAN, financial engineering, quantum mechanics, representation theory.
Islamic and Arabic Studies
In this seminar, we are going to tackle topics related to Islamic and Arabic studies.
Internet Research
This research project focuses on the technologies and societies basis on the internet.
In the technology side, we are implementing and demonstrating for the application and development of protocols and systems, for exsample, Communication System, Distributed Computing Environment, Web Architecture, Sensor Networking Technologies, Big Data System, Internet of Things and Future Internet Technologies.
In the social side, we are discussing the new rules for AI era as well as considering "How to create the future society" through internet researches and practicing the ideas.
This research project is cooperating with the class of postgraduate cource (Mobile wide area network), various labs in SFC laboratory (ex. Internet Research Laboratory, Auto-ID Laboratory, etc...), global standarization body (ex. IETF, W3C, ISO, etc...) and companies or other universities domestically and overseas.

El bilingüismo y las lenguas de herencia
Este seminario presenta los principales conceptos de la educación bilingüe, así como los tipos, factores y variables. Analizaremos las políticas y prácticas educativas de la educación bilingüe.
Los estudiantes profundizarán sobre la educación bilingüe y analizarán las políticas y prácticas que fomentan el mantenimiento y revitalización de las lenguas de herencia en las comunidades étnicas.
Learning from Japan and Africa: resilience and co-existence of Humans and Environment
Africa seminar is a group-work centered seminar. The objective is to learn how African people coexist with the environment and develop resilience, then to "return" (output) that learning collectively to Japanese society. The seminar for example, studied African vegetation and ecosystems, planned and held exhibitions and events at an external public facility in the past 2 years.
Touch Lab 2: Touch Science
The objective of this research lab is to analyze haptic phenomena in daily life.
In 2020-2022, we have learned basic statistics and multivariate analysis. Based on this background, we would like to conduct research projects on a group basis. Senior students are supposed to lead a project, and junior students would support the research project (but junior students can add some of the research items in the main project).

Theory and Practice of Health Communication
Health communication is the study and practice of communicating promotional health information, such as in public health campaigns, health education, and communication between doctor and patient.
In our Kenkyukai, students will play leading roles in planning and facilitating each session. Students will be required to read materials and prepare for the discussion. Foreign students are welcome but need to have basic Japanese communication skills. We use a textbook written in Japanese but for those who need some assistance, the professor will introduce relevant reading materials written in English.
