The e-Science Lab studies "e-Science," an approach to science that puts computers at its center. e-Science is an approach to science centered on computing, such as simulation and data analysis, that does not rely heavily on specialized knowledge. The lab aims to make it possible for ordinary people to take part in scientific discovery and verification. In addition to data mining and simulation, the lab also studies the databases and search mechanisms that support them.

The Quantum Device Engineering Lab studies the ways electric current flows that are unique to quantum mechanics in tiny semiconductor structures such as quantum dots. The lab fabricates semiconductor quantum devices only nanometers in size by itself, and carries out experiments end to end, up to measuring the flow of current at cryogenic temperatures close to absolute zero. The spin of a single electron in a quantum dot is a promising candidate for a qubit of a quantum computer. Through techniques to manipulate and measure spin and to arrange many quantum dots, the lab aims to realize a semiconductor quantum computer.

The Advanced Network Lab conducts research that solves problems arising in cyberspace by analyzing a wide variety of information. Rather than stopping at theory or simulation, the lab validates its research on a research internet that is independent of the university. For validation and evaluation, the lab also uses KITE (the campus backbone of Kyushu University), wireless LAN networks, firewall log data, and student survey data. Its main research topics include network traffic analysis, zero trust networks, and improving the security of web applications.

The Plasma Engineering Lab studies the interaction between plasma, which is ionized gas, and materials, with the aim of creating next-generation plasma processes. Plasma is a core technology used widely, from advanced manufacturing such as semiconductor fabrication to the environmental and agricultural fields. In semiconductors, the lab combines plasma diagnostics, materials analysis, and numerical simulation to advance the processes that support the manufacture of advanced devices such as AI chips. The other pillar is plasma agriculture. The lab irradiates seeds with plasma to promote germination and growth, and works to increase harvest yields.

The High-Frequency Integrated Circuits and Microwave Communication Devices Lab designs LSIs, antennas, and filters for wireless communication, and actually fabricates prototype LSI chips to evaluate them. The frequency bands it studies are UHF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz. Through joint research with Kyushu University's School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, and University Hospital, the lab also works on medical sensors and on supplying power to in-body sensors. The lab's website presents it under the name "Kanaya Lab."

The Laser and Photonics Applications Lab conducts research to find new value in the world using light and lasers. Lasers are a cutting-edge technology that plays a wide range of roles in fields such as communications, processing, measurement, and medicine. Based on laser processing and nano/micro technology, the lab works on everything from light sources for manufacturing semiconductors to metal welding and devices that handle ultraviolet light. As medical-engineering collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology in the Faculty of Medicine, the lab is also developing techniques to measure fundus function using spectral imaging.

The Systems Control and Optimization Lab studies how to bring systems, meaning collections of interacting elements, closer to a desired behavior. Anything that changes over time is a target for control, from physical systems such as robots, drones, and automobiles to signal processing of audio and images. A particular focus is control of groups of autonomous mobile robots, such as platooning of self-driving cars and coordinated flight of multiple drones. The other pillar is optimization: the lab develops algorithms that efficiently solve problems of finding the "best" solution, such as path planning.

The Stringology Lab uses the term "strings" for all kinds of sequentially arranged data, and studies the theory of algorithms that process them at extremely high speed and with minimal space. The targets include text, time series, numerical sequences, labeled trees and graphs, and two-dimensional arrays. By combining combinatorics on words, which explores the mathematical properties of strings, with state-of-the-art algorithms and data structures, the lab aims to process large-scale data efficiently. The lab's website notes that string-processing problems appear frequently in competitive programming as well, and are attracting attention.

The Mathematical Engineering Lab aims to clarify the mathematical form of a wide range of problems in computers and digital communications, and to derive universal solutions based on that understanding. Its research themes are basic theories such as learning theory, machine learning, information theory, information geometry, communication theory, network theory, and nonlinear systems theory, as well as their applications. Examples of applications include cyber attack detection on the Internet, super-resolution, pattern recognition, CDMA communications, and ultra-high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion. On the lab's website, the Takeuchi, Jitsumatsu, and Hanaka labs are introduced together under the name "Mathematical Engineering and Information Circuits Lab."

The Algorithm Theory Lab studies the theory of distributed algorithms, in particular distributed coordination of swarms of autonomous mobile robots and fault-tolerant distributed algorithms. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Theoretical Computer Science Group (Yamauchi Lab)." Students' bachelor's and master's theses include titles dealing with gathering, search, and merging of robot swarms.
