Andrew Mark Spring, Associate Professor

The Polymer Chemistry Lab uses highly controlled living polymerization to study how to precisely control the properties of polymers for advanced technologies. At its core is ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), which uses cyclic alkenes with large ring strain as monomers. Using mainly Grubbs catalysts, the lab synthesizes a variety of polymers and complex polymeric compounds with uniform molecular weights, and studies their applications. The lab's website states that it accepts both Japanese students and international students.

The Molecular Science Lab studies the physics of Coulomb crystals and Coulomb liquids formed by microparticles in plasma. When microparticles a few micrometers across are placed in plasma, they become negatively charged and confined, and while floating they form crystals or flow. Professor Kenji Furuya, who heads the lab, is primarily affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Science, and supervises graduate students through a concurrent appointment at the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences. Assistant Professor Yoshihiko Mogi of the same lab describes, in his researcher profile, research using theoretical chemistry methods such as molecular orbital theory and density functional theory. The lab is located at Ito Campus. Students who join take lectures at Chikushi Campus and carry out experiments at Ito Campus.
Naoki Ogiwara, Associate Professor

The Ogiwara Lab uses methods from inorganic and coordination chemistry and analytical chemistry to study the development and applications of new functional materials. The lab examines the structures and electronic states of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxide clusters, and metal nanoparticles using instrumental analysis, in order to understand the relationship between structure and function. On that basis, the lab tries applications to the adsorption, conduction, and conversion of molecules and ions. It is a new lab established in April 2025, located in the Center of Advanced Instrumental Analysis, and accepts students from the Materials Science and Engineering major of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.
Yuichi Harada, Professor

The Solid-State Quantum Information Engineering Lab uses the physical concepts of quantum information to understand the states of matter at the nanoscale, and conducts research on device design and theory using nanotechnology. Building on KOINE, Kyushu University's own open innovation framework, the lab carries out research to test ideas that arise from discussions with members from industry, academia, government, and the public. The research is conducted as interdisciplinary, international joint research among industry, academia, and government. Professor Yuichi Harada's primary appointment is at the Headquarters for Academic Research and Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration, and he holds a concurrent appointment in the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.
Hiroshi Yamada, Professor

The New Materials Development Engineering Lab is a collaborative chair with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and focuses on piezoelectric and ferroelectric nitrides such as ScAlN and ScGaN. Its theme is materials technology that supports an IoT society and makes 6G possible, such as next-generation high-frequency filters, memory, and sensors. In addition to making thin films by multi-source simultaneous reactive sputtering, the lab develops new materials and clarifies their physical properties using synchrotron radiation, computer simulation, and other methods. The research is conducted at AIST (Kyushu Center).
Naoki Ohashi, Professor

The Functional Properties Evaluation Lab is a collaborative chair with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), and studies how to design and control the crystal structure, chemical composition, and resulting electronic states of inorganic materials. By understanding the behavior of impurities and defects in ceramics and thin films, as well as the state of interfaces, the lab aims to realize materials for light-emitting materials, semiconductor devices, sensors, and secondary batteries. Based on solid-state physics and solid-state chemistry, the lab synthesizes crystals, deposits thin films, and evaluates materials using high-resolution electron microscopy and other methods. The research is conducted at NIMS (Tsukuba).
Hironao Sakaki, Professor

The Quantum Beam Science and Engineering Lab is a collaborative chair with the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), and conducts research and development on next-generation particle accelerators that use the strong electric fields generated by the interaction of high-intensity laser light with matter. In particular, the lab aims to develop new measurement techniques that combine particle measurement methods with machine learning. Research is carried out at the Kansai Institute for Photon Science of QST (Kizugawa, Kyoto Prefecture).
Kenji Tanaka, Professor

The Plasma Science Lab is a collaborative chair affiliated with the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), and develops methods for measuring high-temperature plasmas confined by magnetic fields and conducts plasma physics research using them. At the Large Helical Device (LHD) of NIFS, the lab has worked on measurements using lasers and microwaves. The lab's website states that LHD experiments were completed in December 2025, and that the lab will now work on analyzing the experimental data obtained and developing measurements for the next device. Research is carried out at the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture).
Daiji Kato, Professor

The Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Science Lab is a collaborative chair with the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), and studies from a quantum-theoretical perspective the structure and collisions of the atoms and molecules that make up plasmas and materials, and their interaction with light. Built on three pillars (spectroscopy of highly charged ions, first-principles calculations, and atomic data for heavy elements), the lab pursues research that links fusion and astrophysics. In the master's program, students first attend lectures and exercises at the Chikushi Campus for six months, then move to NIFS to begin full-scale research. Research is carried out at the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture).
