Yoshihiro Kangawa, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies next-generation semiconductors as functional materials that contribute to energy saving and the SDGs, aimed at applications such as high-efficiency power conversion devices and deep ultraviolet light sources. Next-generation semiconductors are industrially produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), but the process is a complex system in which several elementary processes are intertwined. The lab develops eXS2-CVD, a simulation technology that reproduces the entire CVD process in virtual space. The lab also works on "process informatics," which uses AI to search for optimal growth conditions.

The Saito Lab conducts research and development on power semiconductor devices to realize a low-carbon society, aiming to create a new power network. Power electronics is a field of technology for controlling electrical energy and using it effectively, and the semiconductor devices used to control electricity in its circuits are called power semiconductor devices. As efforts to increase power generation from renewable energy sources that do not emit CO2 advance worldwide, it is considered essential to use generated electricity without waste and to keep generation and consumption in balance so that power can be used stably. The lab is part of the Energy Conversion Engineering Division of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, and is introduced on the website under the name "Saito Lab."

The New Energy Systems Engineering Lab aims to realize next-generation power electronics, studying everything from foundational materials to new energy grids. In cooperation with the Energy Conversion Engineering Lab, it carries out vertically integrated research that covers materials, devices, and systems in a single framework. Working with related research institutions and companies in Japan and abroad, it also promotes industry-academia collaboration, international collaboration, and the social implementation of research results. Its graduate program operates as a cooperating chair of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Life Energy Engineering Lab studies the mechanics of biological tissues such as bone and myocardium, and materials used in regenerative medicine. The lab is developing a biodevice that beats autonomously by combining cardiomyocytes made from iPS cells with synthetic polymer materials. In collaboration with clinical orthopedic surgeons, it also builds numerical models of bones and joints from clinical CT images and investigates how fractures occur using the finite element method. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Energy Conversion Engineering Field, Todo Lab."
Akira Kusaba, Associate Professor

The Materials Informatics Lab (Kusaba Lab) studies how atoms move during crystal growth, the process by which semiconductors are made. Because crystals grow in high-temperature gas or liquid phases, it is difficult to observe their atomic-scale behavior directly, and no one has yet seen the elementary growth processes. Building on first-principles calculations and machine-learning interatomic potentials, the lab aims to capture these elementary growth processes inside the computer. Approaching the problem from three perspectives (molecular dynamics, adsorption configurations, and elementary reaction rates), the lab investigates the growth of GaN (gallium nitride), a next-generation semiconductor.

The Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab studies the interaction between structures of complex shape and free-surface fluids from the fluid-dynamics side of ocean energy engineering and ocean environmental engineering. The lab works on developing and applying new computational fluid dynamics methods for coupled analysis of free-surface fluids and elastic structures, and for multiscale, multiphysics simulation. It also pursues related theoretical and experimental research at the same time. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Ocean Environment and Energy Engineering Lab."

The Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction Lab studies the role the ocean plays in climate change and global warming through its interaction with the atmosphere. Its main research methods are statistical data analysis using ship-based observations, satellite observations, and atmosphere-ocean reanalysis data, and numerical simulation using climate models. Using these methods, the lab works on elucidating mechanisms and on prediction studies, ranging from tropical phenomena such as El Niño to long-term climate change. The lab's website uses the name "Ocean Environmental Physics Lab" and also introduces the research of Associate Professor Ichikawa.

The Atmospheric Physics Lab is a meteorology lab that studies the physics of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation. The lab analyzes data from satellite, ship-based, and ground-based cloud radars and lidars to investigate how clouds and aerosols affect the Earth's climate and water cycle. The lab promotes the EarthCARE project, a joint Japan–Europe satellite mission, and also works on developing data analysis methods and observation instruments. To join this lab, students must take the entrance examination for the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Environmental Systems in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences at Kyushu University.
Keiya Yumimoto, Professor

The Atmospheric Environment Modeling Lab studies the behavior of atmospheric environmental phenomena such as PM2.5, photochemical oxidants, and Asian dust, with a focus on East Asia. The lab combines numerical model simulations with the latest satellite and ground-based observations. The lab also works on data assimilation, which integrates observations and simulations. The lab conducts research and education as part of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics and the Earth Environmental Science and Engineering Major of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Ocean Dynamics Analysis Lab focuses on fieldwork using research vessels and moored instruments to clarify the mechanisms of seawater circulation from a dynamical perspective. In collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad, the lab studies seawater circulation and mixing in the marginal seas of East Asia. According to the lab's website (around 2014), its research also covers the effects of global warming and climate change on the marine environment of marginal seas and coastal areas, as well as the flow and mixing of seawater in inner bays and coastal areas. The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Ocean Circulation Dynamics Lab."
