The Tsuchiya Lab studies the processes by which metallic materials corrode and oxidize in aqueous solutions and high-temperature environments, and develops materials that withstand such environments. Using electrochemistry, surface analysis instruments, and computational science, the lab investigates how material surfaces function in terms of electronic structure, optical properties, and biocompatibility. The lab also works on creating structure-controlled material surfaces by controlling the interaction between materials and their environments through electrochemical processes.

The Welding and Joining Process Engineering Lab studies how to control microstructure formation and reactions at joint interfaces, based on dissimilar material joining technology that joins different materials with high precision. Multi-material technology, which combines multiple materials where each suits best, is described as a technology that makes automobiles and transport equipment lighter and higher-performing and contributes to a carbon-neutral society. Based on joining metallurgy, which integrates metallurgical engineering and welding engineering, the lab covers everything from the design of joining processes to the prediction of joint interface properties. By making previously difficult material combinations possible, the lab aims to realize advanced manufacturing that combines light weight, high strength, and high functionality.

The Welding and Joining Functional Design Lab studies what determines the functions and mechanical properties of joints formed by fusion welding and by liquid-phase and solid-state joining. The lab examines the microstructure of joints using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and carries out modeling and simulation based on the results. Its goals are to build the foundations of materials design for producing defect-free joints with excellent functionality, to develop new joining methods, and to evaluate the properties of joined structures. On the website of the Joining and Welding Research Institute, the lab is introduced under the name "Welding Mechanism Field."

The Biomaterials Science Lab (Nakano Lab) uses materials science to clarify the properties and functions of biological tissue, with the aim of creating biomaterials and aerospace materials. Learning from the way biological tissue has anisotropic arrangements and structures at each hierarchical level, the lab makes materials using metal 3D printers and computer simulation. To create materials that perform highly even in extreme environments, including living bodies and ultra-high temperatures, the lab aims to establish a new academic discipline called "anisotropic materials science." On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nakano Lab."
Hiroyuki Yasuda, Professor

The Crystal Plasticity Engineering Lab (Yasuda Lab) aims to develop advanced materials with new structures and functions, using "crystal structure," "material properties," and "plastic deformation" as keywords. The lab evaluates, analyzes, and controls materials from both microscopic and macroscopic perspectives. It works on evaluating and improving the mechanical and functional properties of new materials such as intermetallic compounds, ceramics, and amorphous materials. The lab also aims to establish "multiscale in situ observation," a method for observing in real time, from micro to macro scales, how a material's structure changes while it is deforming.

The Surface and Interface Physics Lab (Shiratsuchi Lab) conducts research on "nano-magnetic and spintronic materials," with thin films and magnetism as its keywords. Building on high-quality thin-film fabrication as its core technology, the lab studies new nanomaterials for next-generation electronic devices, such as memory, storage devices, and computing elements. The lab also conducts magnetic measurement experiments using soft X-rays at SPring-8, a large synchrotron radiation facility.

The Catalytic Materials Lab researches the development of nanostructured catalysts, which are essential for the energy resource revolution driven by CO2 utilization technologies and hydrogen utilization technologies. The lab aims to create catalysts precisely designed at the level of atoms and molecules to suit the target reaction. Combining catalyst design, metallic materials science, advanced structural analysis techniques, and theoretical calculations, the lab pursues research without being bound by existing concepts. Its goal is to create ultra-highly active, practical functional catalysts that contribute to energy generation and the solution of environmental problems.

The Measurement and Inspection Engineering Lab researches methods for measuring and detecting, during processing, internal defects in welds and joints that cannot be seen from the outside. In manufacturing settings, defects can occur unintentionally as a result of various unavoidable disturbances. Internal defects reduce joint performance, so inspection is essential, but when defects are found, rework steps are required and production efficiency drops, which is a problem. The lab expects that if quality assurance can be performed in situ during processing, it could bring innovation in production technology.

The Computational Materials Design Lab designs functional materials using first-principles calculations and carries out experimental validation of those designs. The lab develops quantum simulation methods that describe finite-temperature magnetism involving electronic excited states, as well as electrical, thermal, and spin transport phenomena. Using these methods, the lab designs high-efficiency energy conversion materials and energy-saving materials. By applying statistical learning to simulation and experimental results, the lab provides guidelines for materials exploration.

The Quantum Materials Physics Lab develops new materials using computational materials science methods that span scales from atoms to the macroscopic level. The lab aims to link computation with experiment and theory to create new materials design methods that are not bound by existing theories. Its goal is to understand from the fundamentals why materials have their properties, and to generate seeds for new uses of materials. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Yoshiya Lab."
