Yuki Yamada, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamada Lab (Energy Materials) focuses on three processes of energy, namely storing, converting, and using it, and develops materials and technologies that contribute to solving environmental problems. Aiming at lithium-ion batteries with higher performance and greater safety, and at new types of secondary batteries that go beyond them, the lab develops new materials with its own strategy of controlling the connection between ions and solvent molecules in the electrolyte solution (the coordination state). In fuel cells, the lab is taking on the challenge of next-generation low-cost fuel cells that greatly reduce the use of expensive precious metals by creating single-atom catalysts. In Power-to-X devices, which use electricity to synthesize high-value substances, the lab develops new catalysts with a focus on turning carbon dioxide into a resource.

The Systems Quantum Engineering Lab conducts research on new concepts and the safety of energy systems. The lab investigates heat transfer and fluid flow in liquid metal energy systems through experiments. To clarify the underlying physical phenomena, the lab also conducts research using numerical simulation.
Keisuke Shigemori, Professor
0 student voices
The Shigemori Lab aims to realize laser-driven fusion power generation, and conducts research and development on ignition and burn as well as on laser processing. The lab belongs to the Institute of Laser Engineering at Osaka University, and is a cooperating chair of the Division of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering in the Graduate School of Engineering. It works on laser fusion core plasma, reactor systems and their component technologies, and the development of fuel targets. Its experiments use equipment such as the Gekko XII large laser irradiation facility at the Institute of Laser Engineering.
Nobuhiko Sarukura, Professor
0 student voices
The Sarukura-Shimizu Lab pursues the possibilities of photonics technology and works on developing next-generation light sources. It aims to open new frontiers in photon science that can grow from the interface between new materials and light, and between science and engineering. Its research results on all-solid-state wavelength-tunable ultraviolet lasers and high-intensity terahertz light sources are introduced as being highly regarded worldwide. The lab also conducts research with nanotechnology and biotechnology in mind, and puts effort into applied research as well as basic research.
Takanori Kitada, Professor
0 student voices
The Nuclear Energy and Social Engineering Lab (Kitada Lab) studies reactor physics, probabilistic risk assessment, and plant maintenance, aiming to use nuclear technology in harmony with society. In reactor physics, a field at the core of nuclear safety because it concerns the control of nuclear fission, the lab pursues research to improve safety. In probabilistic risk assessment, the lab studies methods to quantify risk in order to examine measures for preventing severe accidents at nuclear power plants. In plant maintenance, the lab develops analytical models that predict how the degradation of plant equipment progresses.
Hiroaki Muta, Professor
0 student voices
The Environmental and Energy Materials Engineering Lab (Muta Lab) conducts research aimed at developing future resource and energy materials that are kind to the environment and people. In addition to evaluating and analyzing the physical properties of materials using light, sound, heat, and quantum beams, the lab also performs computer simulations such as molecular dynamics calculations. On its research introduction page, the lab broadly divides its research targets into the development of thermoelectric materials, which convert heat directly into electricity, and research on quantum energy materials related to nuclear technology. The lab pursues research every day toward solving global environmental and energy problems such as global warming and energy depletion.
Toshiyuki Fujii, Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Systems Chemical Engineering Lab aims to create safe energy systems and conducts chemical research on the processing and disposal of fuel materials. The lab analyzes the dissolved state of rare metals, rare earths, and actinides in liquid systems and works on separating them chemically. Through this research, the lab aims to advance back-end chemistry. The lab belongs to the Energy and Quantum Engineering course of the Department of Environmental and Energy Engineering.
Hisanao Hazama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Beam Applied Engineering Lab (Hazama Lab) researches medicine using photon beams such as lasers and LEDs. Building on biomedical optics, which theoretically describes how light propagates through biological tissue, the lab works on a broad range of research from basic studies to clinical application. The lab conducts joint research with physicians, dentists, and medical device manufacturers, aiming to develop medical devices that can actually be used in clinical settings. Working with the fields of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy, the lab aims to narrow the gap between average life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
Jinfeng Yang, Associate Professor

To realize extreme nanofabrication, the Quantum Beam Materials Process Engineering Lab investigates the physical and chemical processes that quantum beams cause inside materials. As its investigative tool, the lab develops pulse radiolysis systems with femtosecond and attosecond time resolution, and also studies how to generate and measure the electron beam pulses they use. At the interdisciplinary frontier of radiation chemistry, accelerator science, and electron microscopy, the lab aims for new developments. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nano-Extreme Fabrication Research Field."
Isao Murata, Professor
0 student voices
The Quantum Reaction Engineering Lab works on applications of radiation to medicine and industry, and on fusion neutronics. In the field of fusion, the lab conducts neutronics research using OKTAVIAN, Osaka University's intense 14 MeV neutron source facility for neutronics experiments. In the field of cancer treatment, the lab studies boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a new treatment method, from an engineering perspective. The lab's website goes by the name "Murata Lab."
