私たちは、工学と農学の協力しながら複雑・グローバルな課題に挑戦する研究室です。15年以上の実績と経験を持ち、VUCA(変動性・不確実性・複雑性・曖昧性)の時代に対応できる学びのプラットフォームを提供します。We are a collaborative engineering and agriculture lab. We take on complex and global challenges. With over 15 years of experience, we provide a learning platform for the era of VUCA (variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity).


Our Research Approach / 私たちの研究アプローチ

化学・物理・生物のシステムにおける物質の移動を、運動、エネルギー、力、時間、熱力学、化学平衡などの物理学の法則や概念を使って研究します。The transport of materials in chemical/physical/biological systems is studied using the laws and concepts of physics, such as motion, energy, force, time, thermodynamics, and chemical equilibrium.

当研究室は2007年1月にできた研究室です。当初は4名(卒論生2名、修士1名、博士課程1名)で活動を開始しました。現在は10人以上の学生が所属しています。修士課程では他分野(他大学)からの進学者も数名いました。博士後期課程の入学者は約20名います。約15名が国内外の他大学(化学工学科、環境工学科、環境科学科、バイオプロセス工学科、物理学科、生物学科)の卒業生です(2025年現在)。 Our group was established in January 2007. We started with 4 students (2 bachelor thesis students, 1 master’s student, and 1 doctoral student). Now there are more than 10 students in the group. In the master’s program, several students entered from other fields (universities and departments). There are around 20 students enrolled in the doctoral program. Fifteen of them graduated from other universities. These include departments of chemical engineering, environmental engineering, environmental science, bioprocess engineering, physics, and biology in Japan and abroad (as of 2025).

大学院課程への参加について / Joining Our Graduate Program

We are seeking passionate doctoral candidates to join our mission. We welcome applicants from all over the world with diverse academic backgrounds.

Direct Entry to Ph.D. Program / 修士号不要の博士課程入学制度

We offer a path for exceptional candidates with over 2 years of professional experience and a record of publications or patents to enter the doctoral program directly, pending an examination. If you have a strong background from industry and a passion for deep research, we strongly encourage you to inquire.

For Master’s Candidates / 修士課程を希望する方へ (Japanese-First)

「当研究室では、学部からの内部進学者が大半を占めるため、外部から修士課程学生を受け入れる枠は限られています。」 (In our lab, the majority of Master’s students continue from our undergraduate program, so the number of available spots for external applicants is limited.)

「修士課程(AIS)の講義では主に日本語で行われるため、ビジネスレベル以上の日本語能力が必須となります。 As guidance within the classes/courses in master-course (Graduate School of AIS) are conducted primarily in Japanese, business-level Japanese proficiency is required.

毎年、他研究室・他学科・他大学からの受験者が数名います。研究室「スペース」が限られていますので、教員が「スクリーニング」を実施します。(特に修士課程への進学)研究室のユニークな教育研究のスタイルに関する合意が取れるか、入学願書を出すまでに希望者は次の資料を教員に提出する必要があります。Every year, there are several applicants from other labs/groups, departments, and universities. Since the available space in our group is limited, we conduct a ‘screening’ process. Before submitting an application, prospective students need to provide the following documents to the professor via : MAIL (@) empatLab.net or /empatLab.net/Contact/

  • CV 履歴書(after high school)
  • Research statement: 当研究室で大学院入学後は何をしたいか?
  • 自分の将来構想・Visionが書かれた文章。(その後、面接も行います)A written statement of your future plan/vision. An interview will be conducted afterwards.

For a doctoral course, we need these statements:

  • why do you need a doctoral degree?   why a master degree is not enough?
  • why TUAT, why Japan ?
  • why Lenggoro lab? What are the good point of this group?
  • financial plan, if any.
  • ability to write a scientific paper

From 2021/11 Introduction Article,(2021年11月 研究室紹介記事)

研究概要:現在は14人の学生(学部生3名、博士前期5名、博士後期6名)が在籍しています。2008年度に立ち上がった新学術領域研究「粒子人間植物影響」(代表者は畠山史郎・当時日本エアロゾル学会会長)がきっかけで、微粒子のエアロゾル化および固定化、植物内外での物質移動、大気中・土壌中の水の制御、循環型食料生産システムなど、他研究室と連携しながら研究教育行っています。化学工学分野の学生が多いですが、研究室内の多様性を維持するために、ある割合で外国人留学生または異分野(物理学科や生物学科等)出身の大学院生を受入れてきました。Outputよりoutcomeを心がけ、国際的にも学際的にも活躍できる人材育成のプラットフォーム形成を目指しています。現在は14人の学生(学部生3名、博士前期5名、博士後期6名)が在籍しています。Currently, our research group consists of 14 students (3 undergraduate, 5 master’s, and 6 doctoral students). Our research endeavors began in the 2008 academic year with the establishment of a new academic field called “Particle-Human-Plant Interactions” (led by Dr. Shiro Hatakeyama, who was the former president of the Japan Aerosol Society). Since then, we have been conducting research and education in collaboration with other research laboratories. Our research focuses on several key areas: 1) Aerosolization and Fixation of Microparticles: We investigate the behavior of microparticles in the atmosphere and their impact on human health and the environment. 2) Material Transport Inside and Outside Plants: We study how substances move within plants and interact with their surroundings. 3) Control of Water in the Atmosphere and Soil: Our work involves understanding water dynamics in both atmospheric and soil environments. 4) Circular Food Production Systems: We explore sustainable food production methods that minimize waste and promote resource efficiency.

While our research group primarily comprises students from the field of chemical engineering, we actively maintain diversity within the lab. To achieve this, we admit a proportion of foreign exchange students and graduate students from diverse backgrounds (such as physics or biology). Our ultimate goal is to foster a platform for cultivating talent capable of making a positive impact both internationally and across interdisciplinary fields. Currently, we have a total of 14 students (3 undergraduates, 5 master’s, and 6 doctoral students) enrolled in our program.
