The Advanced Nano-Electronic Materials Lab studies new electronic materials using "epitaxial growth," in which semiconductor crystals are built up layer by atomic layer. When materials reach the nanometer scale, they show properties different from those they have at visible sizes. Building on molecular beam epitaxy, the lab makes semiconductor materials such as "nanowires," needle-shaped crystals that take advantage of these size effects. The lab was founded in April 2022, and its master's and doctoral students actively present at international conferences and write papers.

The Functional Communication and Sensing Lab studies systems, circuits, and devices for information communication and sensing, aiming to realize an IoT society. It works on devices that handle terahertz waves using low-cost CMOS technology, circuits that run on very little power, and intelligent sensing technology that also relates to human sensibility. In the device group, for power devices that must be highly efficient to save energy, the lab fabricates and evaluates the interface between gallium nitride (GaN) and insulating films (the MOS interface), and studies how to establish methods to control it.

The Functional Thin Film Materials Lab (Ohta Lab) studies new devices made from thin films of functional oxides. From oxides that have traditionally been treated as ceramics, the lab grows high-quality thin films with atomically flat surfaces and brings out their inherent properties. The lab works on three topics: "thermal transistors" that switch heat flow on and off, oxide thermoelectric materials that convert heat into electricity, and transparent oxide transistors. The lab conducts joint research with overseas universities, including Pusan National University in South Korea.

The Organic Quantum Photonic Devices Lab studies how electrons transition within materials and how materials interact with light. Through fundamental research that aims to understand these mechanisms from the ground up, the lab pursues research that leads to next-generation organic optoelectronics. The lab was launched in April 2025 and is run jointly by faculty members with different areas of expertise.

The Genome Informatics Lab reads genome information, the totality of the genetic information an organism carries, through information processing and comparative analysis. The lab aims to elucidate various biological phenomena as well as the diversity of organisms and the process of their evolution. In addition to information analysis using large-scale computers, the lab also carries out biological experiments such as DNA sequencing. Research themes include genome analysis of plants and viruses and analysis of biodiversity.

The Bioinformatics Lab focuses on genes and proteins, the information carried by living organisms, and studies their structure, function, and evolution. The lab aims to understand the essence of life by clarifying the organizing principles of biomolecules, their behavior in networks, biodiversity, and molecular phylogeny. The lab hopes to connect its findings to advances in medicine, drug discovery, and agriculture. Students are free to choose their own research topics within related areas.

The Cell Bioengineering Lab seeks to understand cells, the smallest units of life, from the perspectives of physics and information engineering, and to apply that understanding to engineering and medicine. The lab develops techniques to distinguish normal cells from abnormal ones based on cell stiffness, and studies cell function and cell signaling using cell sheets and micropatterned cells. Making full use of nanotechnology such as atomic force microscopy, optical measurement, and microfabrication, the lab studies everything from single cells to tissues. Because this is a new field at the boundary between cell biology and information engineering, students can pursue research with flexible ideas.

The Magnetic Resonance Engineering Lab develops new electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging methods for applications in biomedicine. The lab applies the physics of electron spins and nuclear spins, engineering methods, and electronics technology to problems in biomedicine. Its goal is to build new technologies for the life sciences and medicine. Research is progressing on imaging methods that visualize oxygen partial pressure and pH in tumor tissue, and on metabolic imaging using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance imaging.

The Neural Control Engineering Lab is developing technology that aims to understand how the brain works and, by sending lost brain information from electronic devices, to supplement the brain's original function. The lab also works on neurostimulation devices used to treat brain disorders, as well as effective ways of using them. Its research rests on three pillars: recording activity from the level of cells to the whole brain, building microdevices through microfabrication, and making devices that compensate for hearing. In the future, the lab aims to bring technological innovation to fields such as restoring sound information processing function for medicine and welfare, and treating brain disorders.

The Human Information Engineering Lab researches and develops engineering technologies aimed at contributing to medicine. The lab works on applied technologies using light and ultrasound that help advance diagnosis and treatment. The Photonics group develops diagnostic technologies using light, while the Ultrasound group develops diagnostic technologies using ultrasound and cell-level treatment technologies using microbubbles. Staff with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, optics, spectroscopy, and electronics, information, and communication engineering work together to advance research and education in an interdisciplinary way.
