Heishun Zen, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab develops quantum radiation sources that use high-brightness electron beams and studies their applications. At the Uji Campus, the lab has developed its own compact mid-infrared free-electron laser facility (KU-FEL) and makes it available to users both inside and outside the university. The lab also conducts international collaborative research on introducing renewable energy in the ASEAN region.

Yuhei Miyauchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Functional Properties Engineering Lab (Miyauchi Lab) aims to create new, highly efficient technologies for using solar light and heat energy that contribute to a sustainable energy society. The lab conducts research focused on the properties and functions of nanoscale materials, including carbon nanotubes, and of quantum materials, and on their energy applications.

Masazumi Tamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Green Catalysis and Chemical Conversion Lab (Tamura Lab) develops innovative catalyst materials that efficiently convert energy resources such as carbon dioxide and biomass, aiming for carbon neutrality and a carbon-recycling society. The lab studies solid catalyst processes useful for the chemical fixation of carbon dioxide and for the chemical recycling of waste plastic.

Hiroshi Sakaguchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Molecular Nanoengineering Lab (Sakaguchi Lab) conducts research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, assembling atoms and molecules to create energy materials with high functionality and efficiency. The lab reacts and assembles organic source molecules on a substrate surface to develop new materials that have not existed before. The lab also evaluates the physical properties of these new materials and works on applying them to devices such as transistors and solar cells.

Eiji Nakata, Professor
0 student voices
The Biomolecular Organization Chemistry Lab (Nakata Lab) is a new lab that started in April 2025. It develops chemical methods for organizing biomolecules and explores the new functions that emerge from organizing them. Making use of the energy utilization systems of living organisms, centered on enzymes, the lab organizes biomolecules for specific purposes to build new material conversion systems that use carbon dioxide as a resource, aiming to achieve 'carbon negative' through biological approaches.

Masato Katahira, Professor
0 student voices
The Energy Structural Life Science Lab (Katahira Lab) elucidates how proteins and functional RNAs involved in disease and in the pluripotency of neural cells work, based on the three-dimensional structures of the molecules. The lab also analyzes the structure and dynamics of inedible woody biomass and is developing new methods to extract useful substances that can serve as raw materials for bioenergy and products. Three-dimensional structures are determined using three nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers.
