The Cyber-Physical Computing Lab studies new computing mechanisms and their applications. The lab explores what future computers should look like in order to efficiently process, in the cyber world, the vast amounts of data generated in the real world and return the results to the real world. Looking across everything from hardware to software, the lab investigates computer architectures that are optimal for the system as a whole. Its work includes computers that use new devices such as superconducting, quantum, and optical devices, as well as secure and environmentally conscious computers.

The High Performance Computing Lab studies technologies for performing large-scale computations quickly. It works on high-performance computing with GPUs and on parallel computing, in which multiple computers are connected and compute together. Associate Professor Satoshi Ohshima lists high-performance computing with GPUs as a research theme, and Associate Professor Takeshi Nanri lists topics such as optimizing communication in parallel computing. The faculty members belong to the Division of Advanced Computational Science of the Research Institute for Information Technology.

The AI Education Lab studies support for teaching and learning using ICT and AI. The lab analyzes educational big data, which are records of learning, and pursues research that leads to generating and recommending learning materials tailored to each learner. Emphasizing practice in real educational settings, the lab aims to scientifically analyze and solve problems in education and learning. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Chengjiu YIN Lab."
Yutaka Arakawa, Professor

The Arakawa Lab centers its research on human activity recognition using sensors (IoT) and machine learning (AI). Combining real-world sensing, cloud, and networking technologies, the lab studies cyber-physical systems (CPS) that improve people's daily lives. The targets of recognition include not only externally visible states such as movements and actions, but also internal states such as emotions and stress. Recently, the lab has also begun to focus on behavior change support systems, which go beyond recognition and use information technology to change behavior for the better.

The Spintronics Device Lab aims to create new-function devices by drawing on knowledge of magnetism and the latest spintronic phenomena. Spintronics is a field of conduction phenomena in which not only the electron but also the spin of the electron plays the leading role. The lab is investigating structures and materials that reduce the write power of magnetic random access memory (MRAM), and is testing ideas for using skyrmions as a new information carrier. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Yuasa Lab."
Naho Itagaki, Professor

The Electronic Materials Lab conducts research aimed at solving the rapidly growing power consumption problem of the AI era, using new-principle devices that combine light and semiconductors. Electrical wiring is the mainstream for short-distance signal transmission inside computers, but as processing speed and memory capacity grow, problems such as power consumption become serious, so optical interconnects are attracting renewed attention. The electrical-optical signal conversion (E-O conversion) that connects optical interconnects with electronic devices consumes relatively large amounts of power in current devices, and the lab aims to achieve a new kind of conversion using a transistor structure in which excitons act as carriers. Toward the practical use of exciton transistors, the lab advances research and development at each level: materials, processes, and devices.
Fumihiro Sassa, Associate Professor

The Bio-inspired Microsystems Lab explores fabrication technologies and their application to microdevices, building on microfabrication and biocompatible micromachine (Bio-MEMS) technology. The lab's website explains that rigid silicon-based MEMS devices break easily through contact with liquids or friction. To address this, the lab uses microfabrication of diverse materials to develop flexible, highly durable microrobots and other devices. In addition to international collaboration with UCSD in the US, the lab conducts joint research with biology labs, research institutions, and companies in Japan and abroad.
Naoto Yamashita, Associate Professor

The Electron Spin Physics and Engineering Lab conducts research on spintronics at the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, Kyushu University. Spintronics is an interdisciplinary field of magnetics and electronics, and it is applied in hard disk drives and magnetic random access memory. The lab aims to create new spintronic devices by combining semiconductors and magnetic materials. Its research is built on three pillars: magnetic garnet physics and engineering, semiconductor spintronics, and spin caloritronics.
Naoya Tate, Associate Professor

The Nanophotonic Information Applications Lab studies nanophotonic information devices and systems that use nanophotonic technology to achieve advanced, practical functions. Optical computing is a general term for new information processing technologies that use light as the information medium and combine optical technology with information technology. The lab works on information applications that use light with diverse physical quantities, such as wavelength, polarization, and phase, rather than light intensity alone. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tate Lab (Tatelab)."
Yuji Oki, Professor

The Micro/Nano Laser Devices Lab (Oki Lab) is a lab that not only uses lasers but also works on making them. The lab builds devices that can be printed or drawn, using computer-driven digital fabrication for the larger parts and the properties of polymers (commonly known as plastic materials) for the smaller parts. The lab conducts research that can contribute to optical IoT, biochemical sensors, and more. From fiscal year 2026, the lab also conducts research on terahertz wireless communication that uses optical technology.
