The Functional Organic Materials Chemistry Lab studies devices such as organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in the field of organic electronics. The lab considers this field to be in its early stages, and believes that device structure, high-performance materials, and device fabrication processes must be studied together. The lab's members have diverse backgrounds, including organic chemistry, materials chemistry, electrical and electronic engineering, condensed matter physics, and process systems engineering. Another feature is the large number of joint research projects with device manufacturers and materials manufacturers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fujita Lab."

The Energy and Thermophysical Science Lab studies combustion and the transport phenomena of heat and mass, building on thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and thermochemistry. The research covers phenomena across three phases, gas, solid, and liquid, and works on understanding and modeling complex physical phenomena in which turbulence and chemical reactions influence each other. The lab also applies numerical simulation to real-world problems, aiming to realize clean energy technologies and low-carbon technologies. Its research results are used in a wide range of fields, from gas turbines and boilers for power generation to aircraft engines and automobile engines.

The Thermal Energy Conversion Systems Lab studies technologies that use waste heat and heat from renewable energy, and ways to reduce environmental impact through heat pumps and refrigeration systems. The lab also works on air-conditioning systems driven by renewable energy, such as solar energy, and by unused heat. The lab also conducts simulations and experiments on heat pump and refrigeration cycles, and develops applied technologies using high-performance adsorbents such as activated carbon.

The Urban Environmental Science Lab studies how wind, heat, and substances are transported in urban spaces lined with buildings. The background is environmental problems, such as the urban heat island effect and the dispersion of pollutants, that arise as cities become denser and taller. Using two methods, wind tunnel experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, the lab investigates the relationship between the form of a city and its wind and thermal environments. The lab is run jointly with the Complex Systems Social Environmental Science Lab and the Sustainable Living Environment Lab, and Prof. Ikegaya is in charge of the urban climatology and wind engineering topics.

The Building Environmental Engineering Lab studies the relationship between indoor environments and health effects from the perspectives of environmental engineering and public health. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the lab builds models that predict everything from indoor airflow to the distributions of temperature and humidity and the concentration distributions of various pollutants. The lab also develops numerical human body models to predict the microclimate around the body, skin surface temperature, and exposure concentrations with high accuracy. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Ito Lab."

The Particle Beam Physics and Engineering Lab aims for advanced applications of microscopic particle beams such as neutrons and muons. The lab conducts research at the boundary between elementary particle and nuclear physics and medicine and engineering. In applications of nuclear physics, it focuses on producing radioisotopes (RI) for medical use and on nuclear transmutation technology for radioactive waste. In applications of muons, it works on muography, a technique that uses cosmic-ray muons to see through objects, and investigates the physical mechanisms of soft errors in semiconductors.

The Mass Transfer and Reaction Engineering Lab conducts research to develop next-generation energy systems, such as fusion reactors and hydrogen energy, from a chemical engineering perspective. The lab investigates the behavior of tritium, the fuel of fusion reactors, from the viewpoint of mass transfer and reactions. The lab also works on technologies that support a society that uses hydrogen. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Katayama-Edao Lab."
Yukihiko Yamagata, Associate Professor

The Ionization Reaction Engineering Lab (Yamagata-Teii Lab) works on process technologies using plasma and lasers, and on the development of advanced devices. Plasma processes that make use of ionization reactions can produce physical and chemical effects that do not occur in ordinary environments. The lab works on developing and optimizing processes, analyzing device performance, developing new types of light sources, and developing electronic materials and devices that can be used in harsh environments. The lab is divided into Associate Professor Yamagata's Discharge/Laser Group and Associate Professor Teii's Electronic Materials EMD Group.

The Optoelectronics Lab studies devices that handle light, such as waveguides, which serve as pathways for light, and semiconductor lasers. Through "new photonic integrated devices," the lab pursues research and development that is environmentally conscious and contributes to a society with a declining birthrate and an aging population. Its research themes are the design of waveguides using nanostructures, semiconductor lasers that can be modulated at high speed, and compact sensors for analyzing breath and gases. The lab's website is a joint website with the Optical Device Engineering Lab (Hamaguchi Lab), and it lists the members and research of both labs.
Tsuyoshi Yoshitake, Professor

The Electronic Properties and Device Engineering Lab studies sensing materials and devices, along with the process and evaluation technologies, including the elemental technologies needed to build the devices. The lab handles everything in one place, from making the materials to evaluating them and fabricating the devices. In recent years, the lab has focused on all-diamond sensing devices, with the aim of building IoT devices that can operate even in extreme environments such as outer space. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Yoshitake Lab."
