The Mathematical Informatics group studies various phenomena that appear in science and technology from an informatics perspective, building and analyzing mathematical models. Through this analysis, the group aims to solve a wide range of problems in information processing. The group includes labs that work on string algorithms, machine learning and information theory, information security, quantum information, and more. The group is listed under the Information Science course in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, and under the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering. Its graduate program is the Department of Information Science and Technology in the Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering.

The Intelligence Science Lab aims to scientifically investigate human intelligence and behavior, establish foundational information science technologies that support human intellectual activity, and develop applications of them. Rather than a single lab, it is a division made up of multiple labs, each working on different themes such as cognitive science, machine learning, natural language processing, and multi-agent systems. It is a division of the Department of Information Science and Technology in the Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, and is also introduced as a lab of the Information Science course in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science.

The Coordination Chemistry Lab studies polynuclear metal complexes, focusing on the functions and properties that emerge when multiple metal ions organize together. Research subjects include the relationship between metal–metal interactions and chemical reactivity, molecular photodevices capable of generating hydrogen using light, and molecular catalysts that produce oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide. Aiming to develop practical functional metal complexes, the lab carries out the synthesis, structural analysis, and functional evaluation of new polynuclear complexes.

The Physical Chemistry of Metal Complexes Lab conducts research aiming to clarify the relationship between the structure of metal complexes and their properties and functions. Metal complexes are hybrids of inorganic and organic components, and are characterized by their diverse structures and properties. The lab precisely analyzes the structures of polynuclear metal complexes and of coordination polymers, which are assemblies of metal complexes, and evaluates their properties and functions. Using the mesoscale regions formed by artificial membranes and cell membranes, the lab works on controlling the formation of metal complex mesocrystals and on developing composites of membranes and metal complexes, with the further aim of controlling cell functions.

The Bioanalytical Chemistry Lab studies the structures and functions of biological membranes by combining analytical chemistry and organic chemistry (chemical biology). Because many commercially available drugs act on membrane proteins and lipid membranes, the lab aims to extend techniques from biological membrane research to clarifying how drugs work, diagnosing diseases, and drug discovery. In running the lab, it takes "improving quality of life (QOL)" as a keyword, and it offers orientation courses and hands-on experimental guidance so that newly assigned students can start their research with confidence. Its research equipment includes NMR, mass spectrometers, and capillary electrophoresis systems.

The Structural Chemistry Lab studies the forces acting between molecules by isolating clusters, which are assemblies of a few to several hundred molecules. Water vapor cools into liquid water and eventually becomes ice because intermolecular forces act between water molecules. Using spectroscopic experiments and theoretical calculations, the lab investigates at the molecular level the microscopic structure of solvent molecules surrounding organic molecules and metal ions, as well as the interactions between solute and solvent molecules. The lab has official activities such as a journal club, where members introduce papers to one another, and a colloquium, where they take turns reading English texts.

The Quantum Chemistry Lab focuses on clusters, extremely tiny particles with a precisely defined number of atoms, and aims to open a new phase of nanomaterials science. The lab explores the physical and chemical phenomena involving clusters from the perspective and with the research methods of physical chemistry. Its research methods include ways of generating clusters using mass spectrometry, methods for tracking chemical reactions, and spectroscopic methods using lasers and synchrotron radiation. In education, the lab centers on the concepts of quantum chemistry and aims to help students develop the ability to understand the makeup of matter and its properties from a microscopic perspective.

The Physical Chemistry of Dispersed Systems Lab studies gels, a type of material found in the body, in order to get closer to the principles of biological function. The lens of the eye and articular cartilage are also gels, and biological functions arise when such biological gels change their properties in response to changes in the environment inside the body. Taking living organisms as a model, the lab also takes on the challenge of using gels to artificially design and build materials and systems that substitute for or mimic biological functions.

The Photophysical Chemistry Lab studies new ways to examine cells and biological tissues using the interaction between light and molecules, in particular a phenomenon called nonlinear Raman scattering. The lab is developing new imaging methods for cells and biological tissues based on "molecular fingerprints." Medical applications such as pathological diagnosis and disease diagnosis are one of the lab's research targets. The lab also works on developing methods that combine optical measurement with information processing.

The Bioorganic Chemistry Lab studies the principles by which compounds isolated from animals, plants, and microorganisms that show strong biological activity exert that activity. Some of these compounds act on biological membranes or specific proteins, and are used as antibiotics and anticancer drugs. Based on the principles behind the activity, the lab works on the molecular design, chemical synthesis, and activity evaluation of new drugs. The lab's keywords are natural products chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and chemical biology.
