Tanabe, Takasumi

He received his B.S. in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from Keio University, Yokohama, Japan, in March 2000, and his M.S. and Ph. Design Engineering from the same institution in September 2001 and March 2004, respectively. He was a research associate of the 21st Century Center of Excellence (COE) program in optical and electronic device technology for access networks at Keio University from November 2002 to March 2004. He received a Certificate for Distinguished Activity as Research Assistant at Keio Information, Electronics, and Electrical Engineering Field COE. On April 2004, he joined NTT Basic Research Laboratories, NTT Corporation, in Atsugi, Japan. On April 2010, he moved to Electronics and Electrical Engineering at Keio University, where he is currently a professor. He received Scientific American 50 Award in 2007, and the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, The Young Scientists’ Prize in 2010. Dr. Tanabe is a member of the Optical Society, IEEE Photonics Society, SPIE, the Japan Society of Applied Physics, the Laser Society of Japan, and the Institute of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineers. He is currently a Senior Editor for the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics and Associate Editor for AIP Advances (APS) and Scientific Reports (NPG). He is also serving as a conference committee member in various conferences, including the general chair for CLEO:2022, program chair for CLEO:2020 and ALPS2023, vice-program chair for ICNN, sub-committee chair for CLEO:2018/2019 and CLEO Pacific Rim 2022, the committee in Optica Congress, LEOS, ALPS, APLS, ICO-24, ICNN, WOMBAT, LSJ, and JSAP.

微小光共振器を用いて光を強く閉じ込めることによって，微小な光強度で非線形光学効果を発現させます．それによって，微弱なエネルギーで動作する光スイッチ・光メモリや光トランジスタを実現させます．また，光を究極的に閉じ込めることによる新たな光物理の可能性についても探索します．

Our research primarily focuses on optoelectronics. Our team is dedicated to discovering innovative photonic devices that can profoundly enhance the interaction between light and matter. We approach this by harnessing the potential of photonic nanostructures and a diverse range of optical microcavities. The essence of our work lies in harnessing strong light-matter interactions, which are pivotal in realizing low-power optical switching, slow-light buffering, and groundbreaking quantum processing. Advancements in these areas hold the promise of revolutionizing low-power optical signal processing.
