Keishiro Hara's lab studies Future Design, which designs and puts into practice social systems for passing a sustainable society on to future generations. Combining engineering with social psychology and economics, the lab investigates how mechanisms such as "imaginary future generations" change human decision-making and consensus building. The lab works with stakeholders such as local governments, government agencies, and industry, and also carries out practical projects in urban development, carbon neutrality, and disaster prevention. A defining feature of the lab is that it pursues theoretical research and real-world practice in tandem.

The Koji Mold Breeding Engineering endowed chair studies the genetic changes that occurred as koji mold was domesticated from wild fungi. Koji mold has enzymes that break down large amounts of starch and protein, and the lab also investigates the mechanisms that control how these enzymes are produced. The lab also studies how wild fungi survive in the wild, exploring the possibility of obtaining strains with high enzyme activity or strong environmental tolerance. It is an endowed chair established in October 2021 in the Division of Advanced Science and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University.

The Advanced Maritime System Design Joint Research Chair (Osaka University OCEANS) conducts fundamental research on design, construction, and operation systems for high-performance next-generation ships, aiming to strengthen the international competitiveness of Japan's maritime industry. It is a chair operated jointly by Imabari Shipbuilding, Japan Marine United, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK), and MTI of the NYK Group. Its targets include alternative-fuel ships and autonomous ships, and the lab studies ship design, construction, and operation using automated design and AI technology. Nihon Shipyard also takes part in the design and engineering research activities that this chair carries out.

The Offshore Wind Turbine System Integration Joint Research Chair integrates technologies related to offshore wind turbines through joint research, working to promote the industrialization of offshore wind power and the development of human resources. Established in March 2023, the lab aims to be a driving force in creating a new offshore wind turbine industry in Japan toward carbon neutrality by 2050. Because technologies related to offshore wind turbines span a wide range of fields, the lab holds that these elements must be integrated for the industry to grow into a large-scale one. Its listed research themes include research on the realization of floating offshore wind turbines and offshore wind farms.

The Komatsu Mirai Construction Machinery Collaborative Research Lab serves as a joint research hub between Osaka University and Komatsu, conducting component technology research aimed at improving productivity at construction sites and production plants. The research aims to achieve automation, remote operation, and greater efficiency at work sites, making use of ICT as well as perspectives and ideas unique to a university. The lab conducts joint research with multiple labs across a wide range of areas, including control, image processing, sensors, simulation, and data analysis. This collaborative research lab has two divisions: the Field Robotics Division and the Materials and Process Division.

The Strongly Correlated Systems Theory Lab conducts theoretical research in strongly correlated condensed matter physics. Its aim is to understand the essence of the diverse quantum phenomena that emerge only when electrons, atoms, and molecules come together to form matter. It focuses in particular on new phenomena exhibited by electrons in strongly correlated electron systems, such as superconductivity, magnetism, and topological materials. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fujimoto Lab."

The Strongly Correlated Systems Spectroscopy Lab investigates the electronic structure of solids using a method called photoemission spectroscopy. The department's page lists synchrotron radiation and strongly correlated electron systems as research keywords. Other keywords include orbital symmetry, the dispersion of bands and quasiparticles, and polarization-dependent X-ray dichroism. The lab also works on developing advanced electron spectroscopy methods.

The Strongly Correlated Quantum Physics Lab experimentally studies new quantum states, such as the exotic superconductivity found in a group of materials known as strongly correlated electron systems. In particular, aiming to clarify the mechanism behind exotic superconductivity, the lab investigates both the superconducting state and the normal state in which it arises. The lab does not engage in materials development or sample growth. Its policy is to carry out thoroughly dedicated experiments that other groups cannot easily imitate. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name 'Izawa Lab.'
Hidekazu Mukuda, Associate Professor

The Mukuda Lab experimentally explores the origin of high-temperature superconductivity and new states of matter in which electron spin, charge, and orbitals are intertwined, from an atomic-scale perspective. Its main method is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which selects specific atoms in a material and probes the state of electrons microscopically through their nuclei. The lab also pursues the possibilities of NMR under combined conditions of ultralow temperature, high magnetic field, and high pressure, opening up new functions in new materials. The lab's goals are for room-temperature superconductivity to be discovered somewhere, and for the world's best thermoelectric material to be developed, based on guidelines found through experiments.

The Quantum Information and Quantum Optics Lab (Yamamoto Lab) studies quantum information science, an information science based on the properties of quantum mechanics. The lab takes a broad perspective, from fundamentals to applications and from theory to experiment. In its experiments, the lab centers on light and also uses cold atoms and mechanical vibrations in solids, gradually expanding its research into quantum networks and quantum interfaces. The lab belongs to the Condensed Matter Physics and Engineering area of the Department of Materials Engineering Science, Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University.
