The Data-Driven Research Unit is one of the research units at the Center for Ocean Plastic Studies (COPS) of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University. As a satellite research base of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, COPS promotes interdisciplinary and international research on ocean plastic pollution, microplastics, and ocean sustainability. Professor Isobe, a faculty member of the unit, is particularly interested in the transport and formation processes of microplastics among the transport processes of drifting and beached debris. Assistant Professor Kuroda studies seawater from the surface down to a depth of 1,000 m to understand how small microplastics are distributed in the ocean.

The Field-Driven Research Unit is one of the research units at the Center for Ocean Plastic Studies (COPS) of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University. As a satellite research base of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, the center promotes interdisciplinary and international research on ocean plastic pollution, microplastics, and ocean sustainability. Papers first-authored by the unit's faculty include a study that confirmed microplastics in zooplankton collected in the Gulf of Thailand, and a study on organisms attached to seafloor debris. The website covers the whole center, and information on the Data-Driven Research Unit and the Analysis-Driven Research Unit is posted on the same site.

The Analysis-Driven Research Unit Lab studies the marine environment based on ocean observations and works to advance analytical methods for microplastics. It also analyzes oceanic physical phenomena such as turbulence and surface currents, and investigates the distribution of marine debris. For microplastic analysis, the lab addresses international harmonization as well as methodological advancement. The unit belongs to the Center for Ocean Plastic Studies (COPS) at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, and the lab's website introduces the center as a whole.

Aiming at the realization of fusion power reactors, the Steady-State Plasma Science and Engineering Lab studies and controls the confinement physics of high-temperature plasma exceeding 100 million degrees. Using the spherical tokamak QUEST, the lab researches how to sustain high-temperature plasma in a steady state, and investigates plasma properties such as turbulence through the development of measurement instruments. The lab also carries out joint research on the Large Helical Device (LHD) at the National Institute for Fusion Science and on the PLATO tokamak at Kyushu University. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab."

The Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab studies the physics and engineering of nuclear fusion using QUEST, Japan's largest spherical tokamak device. Its work includes methods for heating plasma and sustaining current with electromagnetic waves, diagnostic techniques for measuring plasma conditions, and the development of components that handle high-power millimeter waves. Much of the equipment needed for plasma research has to be built in-house, and the lab says that this allows members to build up knowledge, skills, and experience. On the lab's website, the Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab and the Plasma Wave Science and Engineering Lab are introduced together under the name "Idei-Ikezoe Lab (IIlab)."

The Steady-State Plasma Control Lab studies how to maintain and control high-temperature plasma in steady state, using the spherical tokamak experimental device QUEST. Because the interaction between plasma and the vessel wall changes with wall temperature, the lab carries out particle control experiments and modeling using a high-temperature wall. The lab also studies radio-frequency plasma heating and plasma current drive using coaxial helicity injection, working on fundamental research for fusion reactor development. The lab conducts education and research in cooperation with the Idei-Ikezoe Lab and the Ido Lab.

The Boundary Plasma Experiment and Analysis Lab experimentally studies turbulent plasma and its structure formation. Turbulence is thought to play a major role as a mechanism by which plasma escapes (turbulent transport), and understanding it is essential for realizing nuclear fusion. The main education and research theme is how to precisely measure fluctuations at various time and spatial scales, and how to analyze the resulting data to find new insights and laws. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nagashima Lab."

The Plasma Wave Science and Engineering Lab focuses on waves and fluctuations in fusion plasma and studies their properties and control. Combining experiments, measurements, and simulations, the lab investigates instabilities that occur in high-temperature plasma and interactions between waves and particles. The lab also works on reducing heat and particle loads on the divertor with RF (electromagnetic waves), and on the motion of high-energy electrons. Research is carried out at the spherical tokamak device QUEST on the Chikushi Campus. On the lab's website, it is introduced together with the Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab (Prof. Idei) under the name "Idei-Ikezoe Lab."

The Marine Environment and Energy Engineering Lab studies the interaction between free-surface flow and structures of complex shape related to ocean energy and the marine environment. The lab works on coupled analysis of free-surface flow and elastic structures, and on multiscale, multiphysics simulation. To that end, the lab develops and applies new computational fluid dynamics methods, alongside related theoretical and experimental research. The lab's website introduces it as the "Marine Environment and Energy Engineering Lab."

The Advanced Offshore Wind Energy Utilization Lab aims to improve the ability to understand and predict local wind flows at the height of human living spaces. Taking the growing demand for offshore wind power as a pillar of its research, the lab works through indoor experiments in a large wind tunnel and numerical wind simulations on supercomputers. The lab also conducts field wind observations using remote sensing instruments and drones. The lab's website also introduces it as the "Uchida Lab."
