The lab uses organic semiconductors to build thin, flexible electronic circuits and sensors.

The Advanced Thin-Film Functional Properties Lab (Uemura Lab) conducts both basic and applied research to bring advanced flexible electronics and wearable sensors into practical use in society. For thin, lightweight, and flexible electronic devices, the lab works on methods to control their properties using organic semiconductor technology, and on applying them to sensors. Organic semiconductor technology makes it possible to produce electronic devices through coating and printing processes with a low environmental impact, and it is expected to contribute to a sustainable society. To make use of sensor data, the lab also collaborates with information science and pursues research and development that leads to solutions for social issues.

The lab works on quantum computers and on enhancing the sensitivity of magnetic resonance.

The Quantum Information Systems Lab (Negoro Group) studies quantum information and magnetic resonance (NMR, ESR, MRI). In quantum information, the lab develops and operates microwave devices that control superconducting qubits, as well as a cloud service for superconducting quantum computers. In magnetic resonance, the lab studies techniques that use light to align the orientation of nuclear spins in order to increase the sensitivity of NMR and MRI. The Negoro Group is based at the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) at Osaka University, and its research page states that, with a Visiting Associate Professor appointment at the Graduate School of Engineering Science, the group collaborates closely with the Fujii Lab.
