The Nonlinear Physics Lab uses knowledge from mathematics, physics, and informatics to carry out a wide range of theoretical research across disciplines. The lab works on analysis of nonlinear science and complex systems such as chaos and fractals, mathematical modeling, analysis of machine learning and brain-inspired AI based on nonlinear dynamics, and analysis of real-world data such as medical data. The lab says that students do not need to have all the necessary knowledge when they enter; they can learn what they need in meetings, lab seminars, and reading groups. Undergraduate students are assigned to the lab in their fourth year from the School of Engineering's Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical Engineering course), and the lab also accepts students from the KOSEN cooperative education program.
Dong Wang, Professor

The Functional Device Engineering Lab studies material and device technologies, process technologies, and evaluation technologies for Group IV semiconductors. The information society is supported by semiconductor devices, but the power consumption of information and communication equipment is rising every year, so there is demand for low-power semiconductor devices and for power semiconductors that handle electric power with high efficiency. To meet these needs of society, the lab searches for suitable materials and device structures, puts fabrication methods into practice, and develops methods for evaluating the performance of what it builds. The lab also conducts joint research with universities, research institutions, and companies in Japan and abroad.

The Biological Energy Engineering Lab studies biological tissues such as heart cells and bone using methods from mechanics. The lab is developing devices that beat using cardiomyocytes made from iPS cells, and is also using CT images to study the strength of bone and how it fractures. It also works on hydrogel batteries that mimic the power-generating mechanism of electric eels, and on developing scaffold materials for regenerative medicine. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Todo Lab."
Shin-ichi Nishizawa, Professor

The Power Conversion Systems Engineering Lab aims to create next-generation power electronics, and studies foundational materials, extreme-condition devices, the integration of power converters, and new energy grids. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name of the "New Energy Systems Engineering" division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics. From the perspective of electric power and energy, the lab collaborates with related research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad. At the graduate level, the lab participates as a cooperating laboratory of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, and it also takes part in the KOSEN (technical college) partnership education program of the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering in the School of Engineering.
Hiroshi Idei, Professor

The Advanced Plasma Science and Engineering Lab studies the physics and engineering of plasma for nuclear fusion, using the QUEST spherical tokamak device. The lab develops methods for heating and controlling plasma with electromagnetic waves (RF), diagnostic techniques for measuring the state of plasma, and high-frequency and millimeter-wave components. The lab is described as a place where students can gain extensive knowledge, skills, and experience, because much of the equipment needed for plasma research has to be built in-house. The faculty belong to the Research Center for High-Temperature Plasma Science and Engineering at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, and teach students as a cooperating research group of the Plasma and Quantum Science and Engineering major at the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Fusion Plasma Properties and Control Engineering Lab studies the properties of high-temperature plasma exceeding 100 million degrees and works on controlling its confinement, aiming at the realization of a fusion power reactor. Using the QUEST spherical tokamak device, the lab develops diagnostic instruments that probe the inside of plasma and methods for controlling the shape and position of plasma. Plasma confined by a magnetic field shows complex behavior such as turbulence, which makes it an interesting subject of study in physics as well, and the lab also works to elucidate the physical mechanisms of confinement. On the lab's website, it is presented under the names 'High-Temperature Plasma Properties and Control Engineering Lab' and 'IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab.'
Kohei Kusada, Associate Professor

The lab studies the chemical synthesis of nanosized inorganic materials, such as metals and oxides, by building them up from atoms. Nanoparticles are particles with a diameter of about one billionth of a meter, and they can show properties different from those of the larger materials around us. The synthesized materials are examined at the atomic level with electron microscopy and X-rays to determine their crystal structures and electronic states, and the lab also investigates why their functions arise. Focusing on the environment and energy fields, the lab aims at applications in catalysts that split water into hydrogen and catalysts that render harmful gases harmless.
Jun-ichiro Hayashi, Professor

The lab does research in reaction engineering and chemical engineering, converting solid carbon resources such as coal and biomass through thermal and catalytic reactions. It develops reaction systems for gasification, chemical production from biomass, and coke production from low-rank coal. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Hayashi Lab." The lab belongs to the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, and also participates as a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, taking charge of educating master's and doctoral students.
Hikari Sakaebe, Professor

The Sakaebe-Inoishi Lab studies materials development for secondary batteries. From a materials development perspective, the lab addresses a range of battery challenges, such as energy density, cost, safety, and rate capability. The lab is also involved in several national projects and in joint research with companies.
Yasushi Okumura, Associate Professor

The Functional Molecular Engineering Lab researches the creation of new soft matter by giving functional molecules, such as liquid crystals and polymers, distinctive ordered and organized structures. The lab combines the functions of the molecules themselves with functions that arise from how the molecules assemble, investigates their structures and physical properties, and applies them to materials that exhibit electronic and photonic functions. In materials research, synthetic chemistry (creating materials) and property evaluation (understanding their essence) are like the two wheels of a car, and in this lab both can be carried out at the same time within one lab, complementing each other. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kikuchi-Okumura Lab."
