Kentaro Nakamura

Professor Kentaro Nakamura is affiliated with the Institute of Science Tokyo, specifically the Institute of Integrated Research, where he leads the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. His research spans acoustics, ultrasonic engineering, optical fiber sensors, and biomedical applications, with a focus on high-power ultrasonics and lightwave sensing technologies.

His laboratory, based at Suzukakedai Campus, R2 Building 7th floor, emphasizes interdisciplinary research through projects like the Hearing Support Project and Brillouin scattering-based distributed measurement systems. Recent publications by his team explore strain/temperature sensing in perfluorinated polymer optical fibers and topology optimization for ultrasonic tools.

Notable students under his supervision include Shu Kokubu (M2), Wang (D2), Wu (D3), and Li (M2), who have contributed to studies on ultrasonic levitation, optical sensors, and drug delivery systems. Professor Nakamura will retire in March 2029, after which he will no longer accept master's students proceeding to doctoral programs.
