The Marine and Aerial Control Systems Lab studies ship motion and ocean waves with the aim of realizing safe and comfortable ships. Because the waves that ships encounter are also important, half of the lab's research is devoted to methods of observing ocean waves and clarifying the properties of ocean waves themselves. Ocean waves still hold unknown aspects, such as rogue waves including pyramidal waves, and new styles of ships that avoid them can also be imagined. The lab also studies flying boats and underwater vessels as related to ships.

The Structural Information Systems Lab conducts research in naval architecture and ocean engineering, structural mechanics, and computational mechanics. Recently, it has focused in particular on life-cycle risk assessment and structural reliability assessment of ships and offshore structures. In computational mechanics, it studies CAE technologies such as mesh generation and the finite element method. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kawamura Lab."

The Ship and Ocean Structural Design Lab studies design methods for ship hull structures, using underlying technologies such as hull structural mechanics, optimal hull structural design, and CAE. The lab aims to explore advanced structural design methods that balance safety and economy, as well as the ideal form of hull structural rules. The lab's stated goal is to produce many capable engineers and researchers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Okada Lab."

Centered on ocean engineering and marine environmental engineering, the Ocean Space Utilization Engineering Lab asks how the vast sea should be used and what it means for human activity and the marine environment to coexist. The lab works on the use of ocean space by floating structures (Mega-Floats) and on field surveys of shellfish gathering at low tide in a seaside park. Its research on the motion and bending of structures centers on computer simulations and water tank experiments. The lab's stance is "First, give it a try."

The Ocean Environmental Design Lab studies new technologies for extracting the resources and energy of the sea. The lab proposes and evaluates technologies that make it possible to extract them safely while keeping the burden on the natural environment to a minimum. Its main themes are the extraction of deep-sea resources, natural energy from the sea, seawater desalination, and predicting the environmental impact of ocean development.

The Ship and Ocean Systems Design Engineering Lab uses design, systems, and information as its tools to study and solve high-impact problems in the naval architecture and ocean engineering field, and to develop technologies for the future. The lab does not stop at analysis. It also aims to prototype information systems so that research results can be used in real-world settings. Its research keywords are large-scale complex system design and systems engineering. This is the lab of Associate Professor Taiga Mitsuyuki, and it is listed on the faculty introduction page of the Ocean Space Systems Design Educational Program.

The Aeronautical Fluid Dynamics Lab is part of the Aerospace Systems Research Group and works on aerodynamic performance and computational fluid dynamics. According to the group's website, aerospace engineering is an integrated engineering field, and having a background in a variety of science and engineering disciplines is important for conducting research. Each student has their own individual research topic, and the lab encourages students to choose original and challenging topics, drawing on areas such as numerical simulation of navigation control and aerodynamics and the development of small experimental aircraft. Students who go on to graduate school belong to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, and Ocean Engineering (Aerospace Engineering educational field) in the Graduate School of Engineering Science.

The Aerospace Guidance and Control Lab studies aerospace guidance and control, numerical simulation of aerodynamics, and related topics. The faculty's areas of expertise are listed as satellites, aerial robotics, optimal control, aerodynamic performance, and computational fluid dynamics. Each student has their own individual research topic, and the lab always encourages students to choose original and challenging topics. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Aerospace Systems Research Group."

The Organic Electrochemistry Lab studies organic and polymer synthesis based on electrochemistry. Centered on organic electrosynthesis, which uses electrons as reagents, the lab aims to develop new environmentally harmonious ways of synthesizing materials, efficient interconversion between electrical and chemical energy, and new materials that support an advanced information society. The lab was launched at Tokyo Institute of Technology, then moved its base to Yokohama National University, and since February 2024 has operated as the Atobe-Shida Lab.

The Inorganic Materials Synthesis Lab (Ito Lab) conducts research and development on ceramic materials using vapor-phase methods and laser processes, and trains students. The lab is interested in giving ceramic coatings and bulk crystals new functions through self-oriented growth and self-organization, thereby adding new value to practical industrial materials. It is an experiment-driven lab where students synthesize materials with home-built synthesis equipment and advance their research by observing the materials in hand. Members come from a variety of departments, such as chemistry, materials science, and engineering physics.
