The Transport Phenomena Lab (Maeda Lab) studies transport phenomena concerning the flows of matter, energy, and information. In systems far from equilibrium, such as living cells, patterns and spontaneous flows that do not occur in equilibrium systems emerge, and the principles that govern their control are still not understood. Through experiments, theory, and computation, the lab investigates transport phenomena in soft matter and active matter, as well as the energetics of nanomachines. The lab aims to open up a new field that bridges physics and chemical engineering.

The Energy Process Engineering Lab develops energy technologies that help solve resource and environmental problems. Targeting energy materials, semiconductor materials, and manufacturing processes, the lab makes use of computer simulation and AI. Covering everything from fluids to solids and from the nanoscale to the macroscale, the lab uses first-principles calculation, machine learning, and statistical physics to explain phenomena. The lab aims to achieve an integrated approach, from materials design to the optimization of manufacturing processes.

The Materials Process Engineering Lab develops material fabrication processes that bring out functions by controlling the shape and structure of materials. The plastics, ceramics, and metals around us are used in forms such as blocks, fibers, particles, and films. To obtain highly functional materials, it is important not only to choose the substance but also to control its shape and structure appropriately. In addition to making materials such as porous materials and fine particles, the lab works on surface modification of materials and on developing meat alternatives from plant-based ingredients.

The Process Systems Engineering Lab conducts research on the theme of "synthesis and optimization of systems." There is growing demand for production systems that can make high-value products while saving resources and energy. Process systems engineering is the discipline that studies methodologies for designing and operating such systems rationally. Through advancing the field, training people, and returning research results to society, the lab aims to contribute to the development of Japanese industry.

The Environmental Process Engineering Lab aims to establish "environmentally harmonious processing," which rationally integrates the links among resources, energy, and the environment. The lab works on developing new methods of material conversion and organizing the engineering behind them into a systematic framework. It is also developing energy-efficient microreactors and other devices, and making environmentally friendly plastics with the whole life cycle in mind. It also explores ways to use biomass, which is renewable and widely available, without waste.

The Green Process Engineering Lab researches technologies that reduce environmental impact, aiming for a carbon-neutral society. It works on technologies that produce hydrogen from hydrocarbon resources while fixing the carbon, and on hydrogen utilization technologies using carbon-supported metal catalysts that the lab developed itself. It is also developing new energy-saving processes that use active radical species. Process development proceeds through both experiments and simulation.

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.

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.
