At the Yamamoto Laboratory, we conduct a wide range of research on network-related themes. Our current main research themes are as follows.

Master's Program

• Two-stage attack detection and dynamic defense system using contextual bandits in IoT environments
• Multi-service-oriented virtual network embedding using particle swarm optimization in endpoint environments
• Hybrid packet loss concealment by deep learning and time-series prediction targeting ensemble sound sources
• Application-adaptive task offloading in Fog/Edge environments
• QoE-related research (targeting 360-degree video and 3D modeling using Gaussian Splatting, etc.)

Undergraduate Program

• GAN-free neural audio codec based on power-weighted non-central complex Gaussian distribution
• Experimental verification of rogue redirection attacks using rogue DHCP servers and unauthorized RAs in captive portal environments
• Placement optimization of wireless power relay UAVs using energy-constrained QPSO
• Few-shot QoE estimation and time-series explanation methods using time-series foundation models
• Cooperative delivery methods for heterogeneous UAV swarms in dynamic environments
• For other main research themes, please refer to the Research Overview.

Regarding the selection of research themes, we basically encourage students to decide based on their interests through paper reading after assignment, though we may assign a theme in some cases. However, regarding research, we respect students' autonomy and focus on independent thinking. We also provide guidance to help students acquire the manuscript writing and presentation skills necessary for presenting their research results.

Interviews are generally mandatory for laboratory assignment. We also place more emphasis on your autonomy to actively acquire new knowledge and the communication skills to convey your thoughts to others, rather than solely on academic ability.

Please note that we are currently not accepting research students due to laboratory capacity limits.

Undergraduate and graduate students are being recruited as usual.
