The Stellar Physics group studies stellar activity phenomena in a broad sense, mainly based on observations in X-rays, visible light, and infrared. It also works on observations of accretion flows and jets around compact objects such as black holes, as well as supernovae and exoplanets. Research topics also include the structure of active galactic nuclei and the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.

The Petrology Group is one of the two groups that make up the Earth Materials Science division, and it studies the igneous and metamorphic rocks that make up the crust and mantle. The group carries out fieldwork, as well as laboratory microanalysis of minerals and analysis of rocks. From the histories of temperature, pressure, deformation, and time recorded in metamorphic and plutonic rocks, the group studies processes that occur in continental collision zones and subduction zones. Using fluid inclusions and small inclusions of granitic composition and glass trapped in rocks, the group investigates fluid activity and partial melting in the deep crust. The group also pursues research that combines petrology with geochronology (petrochronology). The Mineralogy Group of the same division is introduced as a separate lab, the Mineralogy Lab.

The Molecular Structural Chemistry Lab studies the science of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Its work covers fundamental research on NMR phenomena and nuclear spin dynamics, development of NMR hardware and new methods, and applied research in solid-state NMR. NMR is an indispensable analytical tool in modern chemistry, but the lab does not regard it as merely an analytical tool and seeks to understand NMR phenomena at a deeper level.

The Matsunaga Lab mainly discovers and develops new organic chemical reactions, aiming to contribute to synthesizing pharmaceuticals and other compounds more efficiently and with less waste, and to making full use of the diversity of organic compounds. In particular, the lab focuses on designing and developing its own original catalysts and reagents.
Michitaka Notaguchi, Professor

The Notaguchi Lab (plant physiology) aims to clarify the mechanisms of the robust and flexible ways of living that plants have acquired to adapt in the natural world. The lab studies everything from how plants receive environmental information locally, to signal transduction inside cells, to systemic signaling at the tissue and whole-plant levels. Using state-of-the-art cell imaging techniques and original microdevices, the lab conducts research at levels ranging from molecules to whole plants.

The Morphological Regulation Division (Chronobiology Group) studies the mechanisms of the circadian clock in plants and cyanobacteria. From the perspective of cellular clocks, the lab examines what kind of temporal regulation operates at each level of the plant: whole organism, organ, tissue, and cell. The lab also works on the diversity of photoperiodism, which makes plants flower according to the season, on developing reporter systems that use bioluminescence, and on interactions between plants and bacteria.

The lab focuses on the theory of automorphic forms within number theory. According to the Langlands conjectures, the L-functions that appear in many areas of number theory are believed to arise from automorphic forms. By studying automorphic forms, the lab investigates the properties of L-functions.

From the standpoint of applied mathematics, the lab studies fluid dynamics and mathematical biology. In particular, it investigates the swimming motion of microorganisms and cells, the fluid dynamics of low Reynolds number flow, and active matter. A major pillar of its research is using mathematical methods to uncover a wide range of biological phenomena. Recently, the lab has also been working on the analysis of biological image data and on building mathematical models based on data.

The lab studies operator algebras in the field of functional analysis. An operator algebra is an algebra formed by operators on a Hilbert space, and is characterized by being infinite-dimensional and noncommutative. The lab works on the classification of subfactors, the classification of group actions on operator algebras, and noncommutative analysis.
Atsushi Atsushi, Professor

This lab studies automorphic representations and the special values of their L-functions, in the fields of number theory and representation theory. It also studies the representation theory of p-adic reductive groups, which arises from this work. Its work includes the Siegel-Weil formula, periods of automorphic forms, and local representations.
