The Particle Physics Division is one of the research divisions of the Center for Computational Sciences, and it studies the strong force that acts on elementary particles. Studying the strong force is difficult with pencil and paper alone, so the lab uses numerical simulations of lattice QCD on supercomputers. Starting from the dynamics of quarks, the lab aims to derive the mass and interaction properties of the nucleon, a bound state of quarks. The lab also works on elucidating the phase structure of QCD, including the ultra-high-temperature state of the early universe and the high-density state inside neutron stars.

The Division of Quantum Condensed Matter uses large-scale computers to study a wide range of materials with different properties, including superconductors, insulators, and metals. By solving the Schrödinger equation, the fundamental equation of the microscopic world, the division explains and predicts the properties of materials and designs new materials with novel properties. The division treats materials as quantum many-body systems bound by Coulomb interactions, aiming to obtain knowledge that will underpin next-generation technologies. The division's page has links to the Yabana Group, Koizumi Lab, Tong Lab, and Hino-Maeshima Lab.

The Life Functions and Information field is part of the Division of Life Sciences at the Center for Computational Sciences. The field studies the mechanisms of biological functions carried out by functional biomacromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and RNA. The first approach investigates the dynamics and reaction mechanisms of functional biomacromolecules at the molecular, atomic, and electronic levels. The second approach investigates the interaction network systems of functional biomacromolecules at the level of biological information systems.

The Molecular Evolution field is part of the Division of Life Sciences at the Center for Computational Sciences and studies the relationships among the major lineages of eukaryotes. It has been proposed that eukaryotes can be divided into about six major lineages. Using molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of multiple genes, the field examines whether each lineage is truly monophyletic. The same approach is used to infer the evolutionary relationships among these groups. To make inferences with less bias, the field also studies phylogenetic analysis methods themselves.

The Global Environmental Science Division focuses on atmospheric science, conducting research aimed at a comprehensive understanding and future prediction of the global environment. Using advanced computer systems, it runs numerical simulations that cover everything from global atmospheric phenomena to small-scale phenomena such as urban climate. Using a regional weather model, it tackles unsolved problems in everyday weather, such as the urban heat island effect, localized torrential downpours, and the cap clouds and lenticular clouds that form over mountains. The Global Environmental Science Division is one of the research divisions of the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba.

The Computational Media Lab studies computational media, which merges sensing functions such as cameras with abundant computing resources over computer networks. It aims to realize next-generation video media and visual augmentation technologies, including free-viewpoint video, mixed-reality information presentation, and see-through vision. Because it deals with information related to people, the lab places importance on aligning the time scale of information processing with that of humans, and proposes new frameworks for presenting information in forms that people can easily understand. The research descriptions on the lab's research page date from around 2019.
