The Molecular Measurement Lab devises and develops new measurement methods for investigating the structure, reactions, and functions of molecules, and applies them to elucidate problems in materials science and engineering. The lab aims to make it possible for anyone to measure molecules and materials in a wide variety of environments, using laser light, synchrotron light, and other tools. Building on physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, the lab approaches solutions to energy and environmental problems. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Harata Lab."

The Biomolecular Functional Chemistry Lab searches for and develops small-molecule compounds that bind to RNA, with the aim of RNA-targeted drug discovery. RNA is attracting attention as a next-generation drug target because of its diverse functions and its links to disease. In addition to searching for small-molecule compounds that can freely manipulate the structure and function of RNA, the lab works on molecular design using information science and machine learning. The lab also conducts applied research on using small-molecule compounds to control intracellular biological reactions involving nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA.

The Advanced Nanomaterials Science Lab studies the precise synthesis of extremely thin, sheet-like materials only one atom thick (two-dimensional materials), the mechanisms by which they form, and the emergence of new properties. The lab aims at electronics applications centered on next-generation semiconductors, and at environmental and energy applications such as hydrogen evolution catalysts. The lab has proposed the concept of "2.5-dimensional materials," made by stacking two-dimensional materials, and is also building its scientific foundation and pursuing applied research. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Ago Lab."

The Functional Organic Chemistry Lab studies the creation of high-performance catalysts, the development of practical organic synthesis reactions, and the creation of highly functional organic materials. Through this research, the lab aims to solve energy and environmental problems. The lab studies methods that use noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and Lewis acid-base interactions, to carry out C-H bond functionalization at a targeted position. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kuninobu Lab."

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.
Naoki Ikegaya, Professor

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."
