Nobuhiko Taniguchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Taniguchi Lab is a condensed matter theory lab that theoretically studies the quantum properties of nanoscale systems. It studies quantum transport phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics of nanoscale quantum systems, quantum chaos, and quantum phase transitions. Using a variety of methods from statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, the lab examines the quantum properties of mesoscopic and nanostructured systems from many angles. Its interests are broad, ranging from theoretical research closely tied to semiconductor experiments and applications to related problems in mathematical physics.
Minoru Otani, Professor

Otani-Hagiwara Lab aims to elucidate the properties of materials at the microscopic level using computational physics methods, including first-principles electronic structure calculations. Members each pursue independent topics, such as electrochemical interfaces, solid surfaces and interfaces, and ion conduction in solid electrolytes. The lab also works on research that combines data science with first-principles calculations. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Computational Quantum Condensed Matter Group."
Mina Maruyama, Associate Professor

The Nanostructure Materials Physics Lab uses a variety of theoretical methods to explore the physical properties of nanoscale materials such as fullerenes and nanotubes, and to carry out materials design of novel nanostructured materials. Its news section lists published papers on topics such as nanoscrolls, hexagonal boron nitride, and five-membered-ring carbon networks. The news section of the lab's website states that Maruyama Lab (Nanostructure Materials Physics Lab) was newly established in April 2026.
Ken Sakashita, Professor

The Experimental Particle Physics Lab aims to use experiments to uncover the nature of elementary particles, the basic building blocks of the universe, and the interactions that act between them. The lab pursues its research through three approaches: precision measurement of neutrino oscillations, high-energy particle collisions, and searches for extremely rare phenomena. Alongside physics analysis, members also develop the high-performance detectors and electronics used in the experiments themselves.

The Observational Astronomy Lab studies the structure of the Milky Way, star-forming regions, external galaxies, supermassive black holes, and distant galaxies through telescope observations. The lab aims to build a 10 m-class terahertz telescope in the interior of Antarctica, the best site on Earth for observation, to observe objects such as distant "dark galaxies" that cannot be seen in visible light. The lab also uses the ALMA radio interferometer, the Nobeyama 45 m telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope.
Shinichi Esumi, Professor

The High-Energy Nuclear Experiment Group studies quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through heavy-ion collision experiments, in which atomic nuclei are collided with each other at high energy. The lab participates as a member in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States, and in the LHC-ALICE experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The creation of QGP was confirmed at RHIC, and the group's research results are described as having been a major contribution to this. The lab's website presents it under the name "High-Energy Nuclear Experiment Group."
Akira Ozawa, Professor

The Low-Energy Nuclear Group (Ozawa Lab) uses accelerators to study cosmic nucleosynthesis and the nuclear structure of unstable nuclei. Experiments use the tandem accelerator at the University of Tsukuba as well as large accelerator facilities such as the Institute for Quantum Medical Science in Chiba Prefecture and RIKEN in Saitama Prefecture. The lab says that the reward of its work lies in being able to understand everything from developing measurement instruments to conducting experiments and analyzing data. The lab invites anyone with even a slight interest in unstable nuclei or instrument development to drop by.
Kimikazu Sasa, Associate Professor, Head of Applied Accelerator Division
0 student voices
The Applied Accelerator Division (UTTAC) belongs to the Research Center for Radiation, Isotopes, and Earth System Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. The website publishes the experiment schedules for the 6 MV tandem accelerator and the 1 MV Tandetron, along with separate usage guides for users from outside the university and from within it. The research fields page lists accelerator science, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), low-energy nuclear experiments, PIXE analysis applications, positron annihilation experiments, and more. The division's website includes information on multiple labs, and Associate Professor Kimikazu Sasa is named for accelerator science, accelerator mass spectrometry, and PIXE analysis applications.
Akinobu Kanda, Professor
0 student voices
Kanda Lab studies the behavior of quantum particles confined in mesoscopic systems, ranging in size from submicron to nanometer scale, through electrical conduction and other measurements. In such systems, quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and applications to future nanodevices are expected. Both graduate and undergraduate students carry out the entire process, from preparing samples with the latest microfabrication techniques to measuring electrical conduction at extremely low temperatures. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kanda-Morishita Lab."
Yutaka Moritomo, Professor
0 student voices
Moritomo Lab is a lab that puts energy harvesting based on condensed matter physics at the center of its work. The lab's news section covers recent topics on thermoelectric conversion cells, and also lists past results and projects on organic solar cells, polymer batteries, and tertiary batteries. A video introducing the lab's research in English is also available.
