Takeshi Ido, Professor

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.'

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.

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.

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."
Mitsuhiro Murayama, Professor (Cross-appointment)

The Nanomaterials and Device Science Lab uses electron beams to observe, at the nanometer scale, the arrangement of the atoms and microstructures that make up a specimen. Its research centers on "in situ observation," in which changes in microstructure, functions, and mechanical properties are watched in real time while heat, light, external force, and other stimuli are applied. By combining this with data science and computational methods, the lab aims to establish microscopy techniques that can be used to explore unknown materials and evaluate their functions. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Murayama Lab."

The Electronic Systems Engineering Lab researches electronic displays and related technologies. The lab's website says it studies any technology related to electronic displays, from organic EL displays to electronic paper. Besides flexible transparent organic EL displays and micro-LED displays, the lab also works on biosensors and wireless power transfer using capacitive coupling. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and students who want to do research there take the entrance exam for the master's or doctoral program of the Device Science and Engineering major at the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Advanced Fusion Information and Control Science and Engineering Lab researches how to confine and control plasma hotter than 100 million degrees for fusion power generation. Using QUEST, the spherical tokamak device at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, the lab develops diagnostics that measure heat and particle flows inside the plasma, as well as control methods based on machine learning. On the lab's website, it is introduced as the research group "IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab." of Professor Takeshi Ido, Associate Professor Makoto Hasegawa, and Assistant Professor Toshiki Kinoshita. In graduate school, the lab provides graduate education as the "High-Temperature Plasma Properties and Control Engineering Lab" of the Plasma and Quantum Science and Engineering major, Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Simulation Plasma Physics Lab studies plasma turbulence, which is important in fusion plasmas, through computer simulation. Its specialty is simulation of fusion plasmas, but the lab aims to pioneer new research methods spanning science to engineering, including space plasmas. In the same field of fusion simulation, the Fujisawa Lab does experimental research and the Kasuya Lab does numerical computation. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kasuya Lab."
Yuji Sugihara, Professor

The Environmental Fluid Systems Lab studies a wide range of phenomena in the atmosphere and ocean using laboratory experiments, field observations, and numerical simulations. The lab works to clarify processes near the sea surface that govern the exchange of momentum and CO2 between the atmosphere and the ocean. It investigates the causes of phenomena that harm coastal ecosystems, such as red tides and hypoxic water masses, with the aim of designing countermeasure technologies. The lab also develops ocean condition forecasting systems that assess how the coastal marine environment will change in the near future.
