The Reactor Physics and Fusion Engineering Lab studies the theory, design methods, and safety of nuclear fission and fusion energy systems. Its work is based on the physics of atoms, atomic nuclei, and plasmas, together with control theory and systems engineering. Research is carried out by Professor Fujimoto's group, which works on fission reactors, and Associate Professor Matsura's group, which works on nuclear burning and neutron engineering for fusion reactors and on reactor applications.

The Quantum Beam Materials Physics and Engineering Lab conducts research and education in materials science based on the interaction between quantum beams and matter. Through electron microscopy observation, diffraction, and analysis, and through spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, the lab carries out basic research to understand the fine structure of functional nanostructured materials at the atomic level. Quantum beams transfer energy to atoms and electrons in materials and introduce lattice defects. The lab also studies irradiation-induced defects in nuclear reactor materials used under irradiation, including how atomic structures and microstructures develop.

The Energy Creation Materials Science Lab, with the broad aim of harmonizing future energy development with the Earth's resources, studies next-generation nuclear fuel and the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste. The lab's website regards spent fuel not as "troublesome" waste but as a treasure trove, and puts forward recycling and safety as its keywords. Its research is divided into nuclear fuels such as ceramic fuels, solidified waste forms such as high-level waste glass, and the behavior of radionuclides in montmorillonite and granite. On the lab's website, it is also referred to as the "Inagaki Lab."

The lab conducts experimental research on the quantum properties of matter. It investigates new physical phenomena arising from orbital degrees of freedom, as well as the electrical transport properties of nanosized metal wires. It also studies quantum phenomena exhibited by hydrogen absorbed in metals. Developing the experimental equipment needed for its research in-house is another important theme.
Kenji Ishida, Professor

The lab (also known as the Ishida Lab) controls the structure of organic thin films with nanoscale thickness and studies the functions that arise from them. It aims to build the academic foundation of “molecular dipole engineering,” which freely controls the electric dipole moments (dipoles) of molecules and applies them to functions such as sensors and energy harvesting. The lab also searches for functional organic molecules through quantum chemical calculations, working toward new optical and electronic functions and organic semiconductor lasers. Using liquid crystal electroconvection, which occurs when an electric field is applied to a liquid crystal, it also studies the properties of transport phenomena caused by weak turbulence.
Tomokazu Yamamoto, Associate Professor

Associate Professor Yamamoto belongs to the Faculty of Engineering at Kyushu University and concurrently serves at the Ultramicroscopy Research Center. The professor works on analyzing images taken with electron microscopes and observing catalyst materials. The Ultramicroscopy Research Center is a shared-use facility at Kyushu University, equipped with fundamental and advanced instruments related to electron microscopy. Through various support programs, it offers opportunities to use its instruments not only to faculty, staff, and students within the university but also to people outside it.

The Systems Planning Lab researches building systems that use artificial intelligence and robotics to support design and work in naval architecture and ocean engineering. In addition to basic shipbuilding engineering, the lab approaches its research from the standpoint of other fields, such as systems engineering and intelligent and information engineering. The lab aims to train people who, when facing a technical challenge, proactively introduce IT from other fields, especially systems engineering, and can devise and implement novel and rational solutions that have not existed before. The lab is housed in the endowed chair for human resource development in naval architecture and ocean engineering.

To improve ship propulsive performance, the Marine Fluid Engineering Lab studies the flow around ships, the flow created by propulsors, and the hydrodynamic forces acting on them. With global warming, CO2 emissions from ships are being strictly limited, and fuel efficiency, that is, propulsive performance, is becoming more important. The lab develops computational numerical methods and conducts model tests in a high-speed circulating water channel. Main research themes include the development of energy-saving rudders, propeller cavitation and pressure fluctuations at the stern, and propeller shape optimization.

The Ship and Ocean Motion Control Engineering Lab conducts research to establish methods for estimating the hydrodynamic characteristics and motion performance of ships and floating structures. The lab believes that, to operate ships safely and prevent the loss of life and pollution of the global environment caused by marine accidents, it is important to design and build ships and floating structures with excellent motion performance. Its research is based on theoretical calculations grounded in fluid dynamics and control engineering, and on model tests conducted in a ship motion performance test tank. The lab applies these results with the aim of developing ships that navigate autonomously, appropriately controlling their motion based on surrounding environmental conditions.

The Structural Systems Engineering Lab studies how large structures such as ships and offshore structures deform under force and how much they can withstand. From the standpoint of structural mechanics and structural strength, the lab uses numerical analysis and experimental techniques to investigate static and dynamic deformation and strength. The lab also develops techniques for estimating the external forces that act under severe waves, which is important for safety assessment, and examines structural configurations that excel in safety and economy. Every day, the lab advances research aimed at "determining the safety of large structures."
