Tetsuya Onogi, Professor
0 student voices
The Onogi Lab (Particle Theory Group 2) studies the fundamental theory of elementary particles based on gauge theory. Focusing on phenomena that the Standard Model cannot explain, and on the dynamics and symmetry breaking behind them, the lab aims to establish a fundamental theory for a new era. Its research themes are lattice gauge theory and its applications, and flavor structure and CP violation. The lab conducts joint research with Particle Theory Group 1 (Kanemura) and Particle Theory Group 3 (Nishioka), and holds weekly seminars with them.
Tatsuma Nishioka, Professor

The Nishioka Lab (Particle Theory Group 3) studies quantum field theory and superstring theory. It aims to answer simple but fundamental questions: what is the ultimate matter that makes up this universe, and how did the universe begin? The lab also works on the AdS/CFT correspondence (the holographic principle), black holes and quantum gravity, and general relativity and cosmology. The lab conducts joint research with the Kanemura Lab and the Ohnogi Lab of the Particle Theory Lab.
Masayuki Asakawa, Professor

The Asakawa Lab (Nuclear Theory Group) theoretically studies the physics of quarks, the constituents one arrives at when protons and neutrons are broken down further. In today's universe, quarks are confined inside hadrons and are not observed on their own. The lab aims to elucidate the phenomena that occurred as the universe evolved from its extremely hot early stage to its present form, and to investigate the internal structure and reactions of hadrons. At times the lab also performs first-principles simulations on supercomputers, and it is strong in this type of problem.
Kazuhiko Kuroki, Professor

The Kuroki Lab (Solid-State Electron Theory) studies the behavior of electrons in solids using theoretical methods such as computer and analytical calculations. Its main themes include superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems, where repulsion between electrons strongly affects material properties, and the thermoelectric effect, which converts temperature differences into electricity. Using models that incorporate the band structure of electrons in solids, the lab aims to understand experimental results and to predict superconductors that have not yet been discovered. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kuroki Lab."
Nayuta Ueda, Associate Professor

The Condensed Matter Quantum Computing Lab studies electron correlations in quasicrystals, as well as the development and use of quantum algorithms from a condensed matter perspective. A quasicrystal is an aperiodic crystal that lacks translational symmetry and has unconventional point-group symmetry, such as five-fold rotational symmetry. A quantum algorithm is an algorithm designed for quantum computers. A quantum computer is a new type of computer that performs computation using the principles of quantum mechanics.
Michisato Toyoda, Professor

The lab develops mass spectrometry instruments and carries out interdisciplinary research using them. At its core is an instrument called the multi-turn time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MULTUM). Working closely with researchers in various fields and with industry, the lab aims to develop instruments that “make it possible to see what could not be seen before.” The lab also works on developing next-generation high-performance mass spectrometers, ionization methods, and detectors, and on nurturing talent.
Masayuki Ochi, Associate Professor (Concurrent)

The Challenging Individual Research Division is one of the divisions of the Forefront Research Center, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka. On the center's project research introduction page, individual projects are listed under this division, one for each principal investigator. Associate Professor Masayuki Ochi, who belongs to the Kuroki Group in the Department of Physics, is the principal investigator of “Development of high-accuracy first-principles calculation methods based on wave function theory.” “Creation of ultra-trace mass spectrometry imaging through precise fluid control of pico-liquids,” by Associate Professor Yoichi Otsuka of the Toyoda Group (Mass Spectrometry Group), ended with fiscal year 2024 (Reiwa 6).
Masayuki Hagiwara, Professor
0 student voices
The Hagiwara Lab (Ultra-High Magnetic Field Condensed Matter Physics Group) measures the properties of materials in strong magnetic fields, aiming to discover new physical phenomena induced by high magnetic fields and to elucidate their mechanisms. Using nondestructive pulse magnets that can generate fields above 60 tesla and superconducting magnets of up to 16 tesla, the lab develops high-precision instruments for measuring physical properties. Through collaborations with many researchers in Japan and abroad, the lab covers a broad range of fields, from basic research in materials science to applications such as functional materials. On the lab's website, the group is introduced under the name "Hagiwara Lab."
Shin-ichi Kimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kimura Lab (Optical Condensed Matter Physics Group) studies the origin of the functionality of solids and biological materials by examining the states of electrons, lattices, and molecules in them. Magnetism, superconductivity, the redox reactions and photosynthesis that sustain life, and similar phenomena arise from the states of electrons, the vibrations of lattices and molecules, and the quantum mechanical interactions among them. To observe the states of electrons, lattices, and molecules, the lab develops new spectroscopy and imaging methods using synchrotron radiation, pulsed lasers, and high-brightness electron beams. Based on the information obtained from these observations, the lab aims to develop new materials and create new functionality.
Kenichi Asano, Professor
0 student voices
The Asano Lab (Quantum Condensed Matter Theory Group) studies the properties of electrons in semiconductors through theory and computation. It deals with phenomena involving at least one of the following: microstructures, low-dimensional systems such as graphene, long-range Coulomb interactions between electrons, and optical response spectra. The lab studies the system of electrons and holes created in a semiconductor under light irradiation as a subject that can be called a microcosm of materials science. For graduation research, the lab accepts students from the Department of Physics and from the Life Science Course of the Department of Biological Sciences; at the graduate level, it accepts students from the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.
