The Aquatic Environmental Analytical Chemistry Lab studies trace elements and isotopes to clarify the present, past, and future of aquatic environments such as oceans and lakes. The lab conducts interdisciplinary research spanning analytical chemistry, geochemistry, marine chemistry, oceanography, limnology, geology, and environmental science.

Takeshi Hasegawa, Professor

The Molecular Environment Analytical Chemistry Lab (Hasegawa Lab) seeks to understand the functions of compounds by examining molecular packing, arrangement, orientation, and interactions at the level of individual functional groups. Rather than taking textbook pictures at face value, the lab studies in detail the chemical makeup of the devices we have in hand today. Its three pillars are organofluorine science, multiple-angle incidence resolution spectrometry (MAIRS), and organic semiconductors.

Tatsuo Kurihara, Professor

The Molecular Microbial Science Lab (Kurihara Lab) aims to elucidate the mechanisms behind diverse life phenomena in microorganisms through biochemical approaches and to develop applications from them. The lab studies the molecular basis of environmental adaptation in microbes living in extreme environments, novel enzymes that catalyze unique reactions, lipids that form biological membranes, and membrane vesicles that microbes release outside the cell. Based on these findings, it develops new ways of using microorganisms that are useful for purposes such as chemical production.

Atsushi Wakamiya, Professor

The Molecular Aggregation Analysis Lab (Wakamiya Lab) upholds the principle of “Needs Inspired Fundamental Science” and works on the chemistry of new π-conjugated systems, the creation of functional π-electron systems that take advantage of the properties of elements, and the development of next-generation solar cells as printable electronics. In particular, the lab takes on the materials chemistry of perovskite solar cells and their practical application.

Yuya Morimoto, Professor

The Integrated Nano-Analytical Chemistry Lab uses a variety of electron microscopes to observe materials directly at the molecular and atomic scale, and analyzes their structures and physical properties. Defects and interface structures that are averaged out and hidden in X-ray diffraction can be seen as real-space images with a microscope. By combining energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), the lab also investigates composition and electronic states at the nanoscale.

Tomomi Fujii, Assistant Professor

The Atomic and Molecular Structure Lab determines the three-dimensional structures of proteins, which carry out biological functions, at atomic resolution by X-ray crystallography, and studies the relationship between the structure of protein molecules and their functions and properties from the perspective of structural biology. The lab aims to elucidate how enzymes recognize their substrates and the mechanisms of their catalytic reactions, as well as the strategies by which proteins of microorganisms living in extreme high- or low-temperature environments adapt to those environments.

Yuichi Shimakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Advanced Inorganic Solid-State Chemistry Lab (Shimakawa Lab) studies the solid-state chemistry of transition metal oxides, centered on the exploration, design, synthesis, and evaluation of "functional materials." Working with inorganic materials, the lab synthesizes substances that show interesting physical properties by exploiting the characteristics of elements, seeks to understand those substances, and, based on the knowledge gained, designs and explores new materials.

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.
