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."

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."

Kai Morino, Professor

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.

Mitsugu Todo, Associate Professor

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.
