The Combined Renewable Energy Utilization Lab researches technologies for increasing the deployment of renewable energy that uses fluid dynamics, starting with wind power. Using fluid dynamics, mechanical dynamics, control engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, and more, the lab conducts research and development on technologies for larger scale, lower cost, and higher performance. For commercial wind turbines and floating offshore wind turbines, the lab carries out modeling, design, control, and evaluation. At the graduate level, the lab accepts students as a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Environmental Systems, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Next-Generation Renewable Energy Technology Lab studies offshore renewable energy systems and their control under wind, wave, and ocean current conditions. It focuses on improving the efficiency of harvesting energy offshore and reducing the cost of energy. Specific topics include power generation systems that combine wind and wave power, digital twins of floating offshore wind turbines, data-driven simulation methods, control of large wind turbines, and the stability of ship-towing systems. This lab is run jointly with the Marine Environmental Energy Engineering Lab.
Makoto Hasegawa, Associate Professor

The Turbulence Data Analysis Lab is staffed by Associate Professor Makoto Hasegawa and Assistant Professor Kazuhito Ohsawa of the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics. Associate Professor Hasegawa works on controlling tokamak plasmas using methods such as machine learning, and on developing systems for collecting large volumes of data. Assistant Professor Ohsawa uses simulations based on first-principles calculations to study tungsten, an important fusion reactor material, including the interaction between vacancies and hydrogen. Both also hold appointments in the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences, Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences.

The Nano-Interface Physical Properties Lab studies how molecules and nanoparticles can be self-assembled into materials with new functions, and applies them to biosensing. In particular, it investigates broadly plasmon resonance, an optical phenomenon that occurs at the interfaces between metals and organic materials. A recent topic is the “plasmonic nanosheet,” which makes use of the property that silver nanoparticles spontaneously form two-dimensional crystals at the air-water interface. On the lab’s website, it is presented under the name “Tamada-Okamoto Lab.”
Yoshihito Shiota, Associate Professor

The Reaction and Property Theory Lab (Shiota Lab) investigates the electronic structure of molecules and the mechanisms of chemical reactions through theoretical quantum chemical calculations, without conducting experiments. The lab believes that reactions driven by enzymes and catalysts rely on a 'mechanism' based on the movement of electrons and on spin states, and aims to uncover it and use it to design new reactions. The lab regards calculation not as a machine that produces answers but as a tool for thinking. Members carry out research by putting into words how to choose models and what to investigate next, and organizing these points together.

The Molecular Materials Chemistry Lab (Sato Lab) studies metal complexes that respond to external stimuli such as light and heat. Its work centers on developing new materials whose magnetism can be switched by stimuli such as light and electricity, including the discovery of a material that becomes a magnet when irradiated with light. From synthesizing new molecules to evaluating their properties, the lab takes on a wide range of work with light as its keyword. In the Department of Chemistry, School of Science, the lab is also introduced under the name 'Photofunctional Materials Chemistry Lab'.
Yoichiro Kuninobu, Professor

The Functional Molecular Chemistry Lab (Kuninobu Lab) studies the creation of high-performance catalysts, the development of practical organic synthesis reactions, and the creation of functional organic materials. Through this research, the lab aims to help solve energy and environmental problems. It also works on developing methods that use non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding to control the position at which a reaction proceeds. Alongside research, the lab puts effort into education and into supporting students in finding employment.
Mitsuru Shindo, Professor

The Shindo-Kano Lab (Bioorganic Chemistry) is a lab that combines organic synthetic chemistry and molecular biology in its research. Its core is "ynolate chemistry," and on this basis the lab studies the design, synthesis, and functional control of bioactive molecules and functional molecules. The lab also works on compounds that disrupt gravity sensing in plants, UV absorbers, and the total synthesis of natural organic compounds. The lab belongs to the Materials Foundation Division of the Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering at Kyushu University, and is also a cooperating research group of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.

The Multidimensional Molecular Arrangement Lab studies the structures and properties of molecules and molecular assemblies, based on the chemistry of organic π-electron compounds. It synthesizes organic π-electron compounds that are of structural, theoretical, and physical interest, extends this work to supramolecules and metal complexes, and aims to clarify the relationship between structure and properties/functions. The lab works on azulene-based molecules, porphyrin-fullerene composites, and droplets with multiple-compartment structures, among other topics. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tani-Goto Lab."
Satoru Kidoaki, Professor

The Medical Biophysical Chemistry Lab (Kidoaki Lab) studies the engineering of materials that manipulate cells, and the biophysics of cells, in order to broaden the foundations of regenerative medical engineering. It aims to create biomaterials that control how cells and tissues respond to their mechanical environment (mechanobiology). Within the lab there is also the Ise Group, which uses glycopolymers to control cell functions.
