Atsushi Satsuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Satsuma Lab studies the design of catalysts that drive chemical reactions on the surfaces of solids. It makes use of the functions of inorganic solids such as metal nanoparticles, clusters, and metal oxides. The lab develops catalysts that protect the environment, such as three-way catalysts that purify automobile exhaust gas. It also uses quantum chemical calculations to elucidate how catalysts work.
Tsukasa Torimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Torimoto Lab makes metal and semiconductor particles on the nanometer scale and researches how to create materials with new functions. When particles become roughly 10 nm or smaller, the quantum size effect gives them properties unlike those of either large crystals or molecules. Using chemical methods, the lab finely tunes the shape and structure of the particles, aiming for materials that can freely control the flow of light, electrons, and molecules. These materials are expected to be used in photocatalysts and in electronic devices that use light.
Koichi Kikuta, Professor

The Energy Conversion Chemistry Lab works on fuel cells, piezoelectric materials, and related topics in the field of inorganic materials and ceramics. Current research topics include the development of solid oxide fuel cells and reactors, and the development and application of lead-free piezoelectric materials. The lab also lists the development of low-environmental-impact processes and the formation of ceramic structures using photoreactions as research topics.
Ryotaro Matsuda, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuda Lab studies the chemistry of spaces smaller than a nanometer, known as "nanospace chemistry." In nanospaces, very strong forces that capture molecules come into play, and captured molecules react differently from how they normally do. Using metal complexes, the lab designs and constructs these spaces at will, much as one builds a building, and discovers new reactions and phenomena. Its themes include carbon dioxide capture and the effective use of thermal energy, and it also conducts joint research with industry.
Chikara Ohtsuki, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohtsuki Lab researches the creation of new functional materials that are in harmony with living bodies and the environment. Its research targets are ceramics, organic–inorganic hybrids, biomaterials, and biomimetics. The lab works on developing synthesis methods for medical ceramics such as artificial bone, and for materials inspired by how living organisms work. It also studies the functions that materials show when the process of crystal formation is finely controlled.
George Hasegawa, Project Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab researches porous materials with many tiny pores, made using the sol–gel method, which creates materials from solutions. Pore size, shape, and void fraction vary by material. The lab tailors these to the intended purpose and works to develop new materials with excellent performance. It also works on applying the materials it makes to environmental and energy fields, such as catalysis and electrochemistry. The lab was newly established as the Hasegawa Lab in April 2026.
Minoru Osada, Professor
0 student voices
The Osada Lab researches creating new functional materials from “nanosheets”, inorganic two-dimensional materials only a few atoms thick. Using inexpensive, simple solution processes, the lab makes and arranges nanomaterials in a beaker. The aim is to build structures and materials by combining nano-sized blocks, like a child's building blocks. The lab also works on applying the nanosheets it makes to electronic and energy materials.
Jun Kumagai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Radical Chemistry Lab uses electron spin resonance to study radicals that form in materials when they are exposed to radiation or light. Its research topics include work to reduce hydrogen generation during the cement solidification disposal of low-level radioactive waste, and a study of the elementary reactions of photocatalysts at cryogenic temperatures. The lab also studies long-lived radicals involved in the bystander effect, which occurs through the culture medium, and develops and evaluates tungsten-based radiation shielding materials. In the university's researcher directory, the lab is listed under the Division of Materials Creation, Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability.
Hiroshi Murakami, Professor
0 student voices
The Murakami Lab draws on knowledge from both chemistry and biology to create molecules useful for biological research and drug development. It also combines the molecules it makes to build new methods in analytical chemistry. Its current focus is creating artificial antibodies that bind to chosen targets, using TRAP display, a method developed in the lab. No specialized knowledge of chemistry or biology is required; the lab advances its research by discussing ideas together.
Hiroyuki Asanuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Asanuma Lab uses nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, as well as peptides, to study molecules whose functions go beyond those of natural materials. Learning from the excellent mechanisms of living things, the lab designs molecules to create new tools for biotechnology, next-generation nucleic acid therapeutics, and nanomaterials. It also investigates how the tools and materials it creates work, using methods from physical chemistry and structural biology.
