Many engaging researchers work at Tokyo Tech. Some are seeking to explain the laws of natural phenomena that have yet to be elucidated in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, and biology, while others are attempting to create new technologies and apply them to society through engineering technology, the development of new materials, information science, environmental and social studies and so on. Four researchers from these diverse fields of research that pique our curiosity, will share details of their research and their thoughts in a series of short videos.

History of Earth’s Life – Approach by Isotopic Analysis – Professor Yuichiro Ueno (School of Science)
Professor Yuichiro Ueno
What was the earth’s environment like in prehistoric times? What kind of atmosphere and continents existed, and what kind of organisms lived there? Professor Yuichiro Ueno and his research team at the School of Science collect rocks found all over the world that date back to various geologic ages, and work to unravel the information contained in them to discover the environment of bygone days and the history of life. In this video, he introduces some of his findings and his future goals.
