  • 全国小地域別将来人口推計システムの開発と社会的利活用が「2024年度シンフォニカ統計GIS活動奨励賞」を受賞
  • Professor Takashi Inoue
  • 従来、信頼度の高い人口推計は市区町村単位でしか行われてきませんでしたが、井上教授はある地域に対して働く周辺地域の影響力の総和を定義した「人口ポテンシャル」の考え方を採りいれながら、より小さな地域に対する将来人口推計の手法を確立。「全国小地域別将来人口推計システム」を開発し、社会的活用につながる応用手法の実現が高く評価されています。

  • 小宮 京 教授
  • 1946年11月3日に公布され、翌47年5月3日に施行された日本国憲法。そこに天皇の地位は「象徴」であると規定されています。従来、これは昭和天皇がその立場を受け入れた「聖断」によって成立したと考えられてきましたが、小宮教授は新資料を読み解き、そこに「聖断」はなかったのではないかと捉え、2025年、その背景を書籍にまとめ刊行しました。

  • Explaining the movement of objects and artists' brushstrokes through physical calculations
  • Professor Yonghao Yue
  • When watching movies, today's CG seems to depict various real-world objects as they are. However, it is still difficult to accurately reproduce the light (color) and movement of objects through calculations, and many parts of it are done by hand by artists. Professor Raku is conducting research to realize even more accurate CG through a mathematical approach.

  • Yokohama City Library introduces Japan's first AI-based book search system
  • Professor Toshihiko Nozue
  • The AI-based book search system, developed in collaboration with Fujitsu Japan Ltd. as part of the "Near-future libraries and new learning" project led by Professor Toshihiko Nozue, was introduced to the Yokohama City Library in January 2024 and the Okinawa Prefectural Library in March. This is the first AI-based search system for library books in Japan (according to the research project).
    The project aims to create a model that evolves libraries from mere "collections of books" into places that support the learning of each and every citizen. This system was developed as one of the concrete tools toward this new model. It is designed so that users can find literature that they have not encountered before, based on their interests and needs, without relying on keywords. This initiative shows the future of learning and the ideal form of libraries that support learning.

  • Development of easily recyclable solar cell module for a new era of solar power generation
  • Professor Yasuaki Ishikawa
  • It is expected that in the near future, a large amount of currently used solar power generation modules will be discarded, resulting in an increase in industrial waste. In order to utilize solar power generation nationwide as a major power generation method in the future, technology to realize environmentally friendly modules is required. Professor Ishikawa is conducting research with other researchers to establish recycling technology for solar cell modules.

    Developing talent to lead the digital transformation era
  • Professor Hiroyuki Miyagawa, Professor Mikio Ikoma, Project Professor Rie Yamaguchi
  • Aoyama Information Systems Architect Development Program (commonly known as ADPISA) is a certificate program at Aoyama Gakuin University that aims to train working professionals to lead the digital transformation era. There are three course models available, from entry-level to advanced, and many working adults who want to improve their ability to bring new value to business by utilizing information systems are participating.
    Recently, the school was awarded the "BA Award 2023" by IIBA, an organization that promotes business analysis, and has attracted a lot of attention from outside the university.

  • Investigating the luminescence properties of helical complexes that take advantage of the properties of rare earth elements
  • Professor Miki Hasegawa
  • A complex is a compound in which a metal ion is surrounded by organic molecules or other ions. Professor Miki Hasegawa of the Faculty of Science and Technology, who has long been developing molecules that emit light by using rare earths in the metal part and elucidating their functions, has been awarded the Rare Earth Society of Japan's most prestigious award, the Shiokawa Award. His original approach to creating a helical structure in which molecules are wrapped around rare earth ions has also attracted a great deal of attention, as has his creation of molecular models with various luminescent functions.

  • Successfully amplifying light intensity using superfluorescence, which could lead to future technological innovations
  • Assistant Professor Kenta Kitano
  • A group led by Assistant Professor Kenta Kitano and Professor Haruka Maeda of the Department College of Science and Engineering Department of Physical Sciences, has produced research results that may shed light on the world of quantum mechanics, where many mysteries remain.
    Using the phenomenon of "superfluorescence," in which quantum matter excited to a high-energy state interferes with one another to emit a light pulse with high peak intensity, we have succeeded in increasing the instantaneous intensity of a weak laser beam by more than seven orders of magnitude. Our paper has been published in the online version of the prestigious academic journal of the Physical Society, Physical Review Letters.

  • A multifaceted look at the differences between taxable income calculations and corporate accounting
  • Professor Hiroaki Kobayashi
  • Today, as the economic activities of companies become more sophisticated and complex, accounting procedures are also becoming more diverse. Taxable income calculations based on tax laws are based on the figures in financial statements approved at the general shareholders' meeting, but the current situation is that the basic thinking behind traditional taxable income calculations is becoming increasingly divergent in response to the globalization of accounting standards.
    Professor Kobayashi was awarded the 32nd Tax Museum Award (Book Category) for his systematic clarification of the differences between taxable income calculation and corporate accounting in his book, "The Intersections and Divergences between Taxable Income Calculation and Corporate Accounting."
