The Mechanical Wave and Acoustics Lab studies active acoustic control and magnet-based vibration suppression methods, with the aim of realizing comfortable living environments. It also works on sound analysis methods and on flexible actuators that use magnetic force. Aiming at a society where people and machines coexist comfortably, the lab also studies comfort evaluation through biosignal processing and the analysis of acoustic and wave propagation inside the body.

The Engine Systems Lab studies next-generation internal combustion engines by combining experimental investigation of phenomena with numerical simulation. The lab works on advanced combustion technologies such as HCCI, pulse jet ignition, and hydrogen and ammonia combustion, as well as fundamental phenomena such as diesel sprays, droplet combustion, and soot formation, and links them with numerical computation and modeling. The lab takes on the challenges of clean, high-efficiency next-generation engines.

The Thermophysical Engineering Lab studies the control of material properties through high-pressure torsion, liquid-vapor phase-change heat transfer, and laser-based thermophysical property measurement. In developing thermoelectric materials, the lab applies high-pressure torsion to silicon, which is highly environmentally friendly, and explores the relationship between the material's nanostructure and how heat and electrons are transported. The lab also works on the behavior and phase-change heat transfer of microdroplets impinging on solid surfaces, and on thermophysical property measurement by the thermoreflectance method.

The Reactive Gas Dynamics Lab studies the combustion of ammonia, hydrogen, and e-fuels in a consistent way, from the fundamentals of chemical kinetics to practical energy systems. Much of the world's primary energy still depends on fossil fuels, and the lab believes that decarbonizing combustion technology is important. By combining high-pressure combustion experiments, optical measurements, and high-accuracy numerical analysis, the lab aims to realize low-emission and zero-emission combustion technologies. At the Reactive Gas Dynamics Lab, students can work on both experimental research and advanced numerical analysis.

The Interfacial Thermofluids Lab studies wetting, the phenomenon in which a liquid spreads over a surface or evaporates, from the perspectives of heat and flow. Classical theories to date have mainly dealt with idealized liquids that are pure and do not undergo phase change. The lab aims to build a framework for wetting that also applies to real liquids that are volatile and made up of multiple components. Combining experiments, theory, and numerical simulation, the lab works with researchers from other fields toward extreme cooling, advanced energy conversion, and state-of-the-art medical testing.

The Micromechanics Lab studies the behavior of fatigue cracks in metallic materials at the micro and nano scales to clarify the mechanisms by which fatigue fracture occurs. The lab focuses on how the microstructure of a material affects fatigue cracks. Recently, it has been working on very high cycle fatigue of high-strength Mg-Zn-Y alloys and on clarifying the fracture mechanisms of LPSO-phase-strengthened Mg alloys through analysis of ultrafine microstructures.

The Thermal Energy Utilization Science Lab (known on its website as Saha Laboratory) aims to solve environmental and energy problems in the fields of air conditioning, refrigeration, and thermal energy storage. The lab has developed a number of adsorption refrigeration cycles that can use even low-temperature waste heat of around 50°C. Its research covers the properties of promising adsorbent and adsorbate pairs, the thermophysical properties of next-generation refrigerants, and carbon-neutral energy conversion systems. The lab belongs to the Thermal Science and Engineering Division of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) and conducts joint research with universities around the world.

The Abe-Kuya Lab studies computational methods and turbulence models for computational fluid dynamics, and applications of quantum computers to fluid dynamics. The lab works on using quantum annealing for flow computation, shape optimization, and machine learning, and on methods that compute stably without adding numerical viscosity. In January 2025, Associate Professor Yuichi Kuya joined, and the lab was relaunched in a new form.
Koji Takahashi, Professor

The Takahashi-Li-Teshima Lab aims for a new world that skillfully harnesses heat and energy, and conducts research under the keywords "nanomaterials," "phase interfaces," and "MEMS technology." Heat and energy technologies have long been important in aerospace vehicles, with many applications such as thermal management of hydrogen-powered and electric aircraft and energy self-sufficiency in space. The nanoscale world holds much unknown science that existing theory cannot explain. The lab uses advanced experimental equipment, microscopes, and analysis techniques to uncover such unexplained phenomena experimentally. Its goal is to create a technological foundation that could transform the macroscopic world significantly.
Shigeki Yashiro, Professor

The Yashiro Lab studies advanced composite materials used in aerospace vehicles, from forming through to damage and fracture. Lightweight structural design for aircraft that fully exploits the characteristics of lightweight, high-strength, high-stiffness advanced composites has not yet been achieved. To address this, the lab models everything from forming through damage progression and fracture as the life of a structural material, and conducts research to improve the reliability of materials and structures. Based on findings from experiments and analysis, the lab aims to move away from design methods that assume conventional metals, and to propose and realize design technologies that make the most of the characteristics of composite materials.
