Jun Onoe, Professor
0 student voices
Building on physics, chemistry, and engineering, the Onoe Lab studies materials that help solve environmental and energy problems. The lab works with molecular functional materials such as fullerenes and metal complexes, and with nanospace materials such as metal-organic frameworks. The lab works on environmental applications such as carbon dioxide fixation, treatment of high-level radioactive liquid waste, and recycling of rare metals, as well as energy harvesting with organic solar cells and organic thermoelectric devices. The lab pursues both fundamental and applied research, through both experiments and theory.

The Energy Quantum Materials Science Lab (Kuwahara Lab) aims to reveal the dynamic nature of local states in energy materials such as plasmonic materials, optical semiconductors, and artificial photosynthesis materials. Using a time-resolved electron microscope built around the lab's own pulsed electron source, the lab is advancing local structure analysis at the nanometer scale. The lab aims to capture energy relaxation processes, structural phase transitions, and changes in chemical bonding states that occur in materials and devices under actual operating conditions, over a wide range of time scales from sub-picoseconds to several seconds. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Kuwahara Lab."

The Quantum Beam Imaging Engineering Lab studies radiation detection devices and the scintillators used as their materials. Its current focus is developing a detector that confirms during treatment whether the particle beam is hitting the treatment site in particle beam therapy for cancer. The lab is building a scintillation fiber detector that captures the secondary protons generated during carbon-ion therapy. It is also developing scintillators to be mounted on the detector and carrying out evaluation through simulation. Project Assistant Professor Akihiro Yamaji is searching for scintillator crystals that emit near-infrared light, which is easy to read out through optical fibers, so that radiation can be measured even under high temperatures and intense radiation.

The Applied Nuclear Physics Lab measures the radiation emitted when unstable nuclei decay, and studies their properties. Of the more than 6,000 nuclides thought to exist, fewer than 300 are stable; most are unstable nuclei that decay. The lab measures radiation from unstable nuclei produced artificially with accelerators and nuclear reactors, in order to search for unknown nuclei and to reveal the characteristics of their decay. It also develops new detectors and analysis methods for this purpose.

The Energy Thermofluids Engineering Lab studies heat and flow technologies for using energy efficiently and safely. The flow around Shinkansen trains and aircraft, the air blowing out of an air conditioner, and tap water running through a pipe are all turbulent flows. The lab investigates how turbulence works through wind tunnel experiments, flow visualization and measurement methods, and numerical experiments on supercomputers. The lab also studies heat and flow in a variety of fluids, including liquid metals and viscoelastic fluids.
Kiyomasa Watanabe, Visiting Professor

The Watanabe Lab studies the plasma at the center of a fusion power reactor (core plasma), with the aim of realizing fusion power generation reactors. The lab conducts its research using the supercomputer and the Large Helical Device (LHD) at the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture). The lab combines three approaches: analysis of experimental data, simulation, and the design and construction of measurement instruments. Research supervision is carried out jointly with researchers at the National Institute for Fusion Science.
Takaaki Fujita, Professor

The Fujita Lab conducts research and education on plasma, with the aim of putting fusion energy to practical use. The lab works on experiments using the toroidal plasma experimental device SOLEIL and the linear plasma experimental device NUMBER, as well as numerical calculations of fusion reactors using tools such as the integrated transport code TOTAL. The lab collaborates with multiple research institutions, including analysis of JT-60 experimental data through joint research with the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology.
Teruya Tanaka, Visiting Professor

The Tanaka-Nakano Lab studies the heating devices and reactor materials essential to realizing fusion power generation. The lab is located inside the National Institute for Fusion Science in Toki, Gifu Prefecture. One pillar is research on heating systems for creating and controlling high-temperature, high-density plasma. The other is the development of materials and equipment for the 'blanket', which converts the energy of neutrons produced by fusion into heat to generate electricity.
Tomoko Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshida Lab specializes in the chemistry of catalysts and photocatalysts. The lab researches and develops catalysts and photocatalysts to help solve problems of resources, the environment, and energy. It works on everything from preparing catalysts and testing reactions to analyzing their structures and mechanisms.
Sachiko Yoshihashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshihashi Lab focuses on neutrons, one type of radiation, and conducts research to apply them in medicine and energy. To make effective use of radiation, which is often cast as the villain, the lab approaches the subject from many angles. Its research rests on three pillars: producing neutrons, measuring neutrons, and examining the effects of neutrons. The lab houses NUANS, an accelerator-based neutron source for BNCT, a cancer treatment.
