The Plasma Physics and Engineering Lab studies fusion plasma using the GAMMA 10/PDX tandem mirror device at the Plasma Research Center, University of Tsukuba. One of the major challenges in realizing a fusion reactor is making a plasma at 100 million degrees compatible with the room-temperature wall surrounding it. At the center, the lab works on controlling the edge plasma between the core and the wall, and on developing the gyrotron, a high-power microwave oscillator tube. GAMMA 10/PDX is 27 m long and is the world's largest tandem mirror plasma confinement device.

The Hydrogen Quantum Atomics Lab (Sekiba Lab) works on developing advanced ion beam analysis methods for detecting hydrogen. Research includes developing the instruments themselves, and each student takes responsibility for carrying out their own research theme. One example is a study that uses ion beams to determine where and how much Li is present inside an all-solid-state Li-ion battery. Above all, the lab values themes and methods that are unique and one-of-a-kind.

The Ion Beam Applications Lab investigates the complex phenomena that occur when fast ions produced by an accelerator strike a target, starting from the elementary process of atomic collisions. The lab develops new irradiation effects and detection techniques using ion beams, with the aim of applying them to mass spectrometry, materials analysis, and atomic and molecular reaction experiments. Experiments use accelerators at the Research Facility Center for Science and Technology at the University of Tsukuba, as well as equipment at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Tomita Lab."

The X-ray Imaging Optics Lab (Watanabe Lab) conducts research on developing X-ray microscopes. It uses optical elements for forming images with X-rays, such as zone plates and Wolter mirrors. The lab also works on imaging the state of a sample by phase contrast and observing it in three dimensions. In the graduate school, the lab is listed under the field of Bio-Medical Engineering in the Electronic and Physical Engineering Subprogram of the Degree Program in Applied Physics and Engineering.
Tetsuya Makimura, Associate Professor

The Makimura Lab studies the interaction between light and matter, and the microfabrication that applies it. In particular, it focuses on research into directly processing materials with light at wavelengths of around 10 nm (extreme ultraviolet light and soft X-rays). This processing method is expected to serve as a practical way to fabricate chemical analysis and chemical synthesis devices that handle extremely small sample volumes, and is also expected to contribute to biotechnology and chemistry.
Toshiaki Hattori, Professor

The Nonlinear Photonics Lab studies the generation and application of terahertz waves using lasers, and the application of coherent Raman scattering to life science and medicine. Laser light can induce a variety of nonlinear optical phenomena. The lab is also called the Hattori-Kano-You Lab. In the first year after joining the lab, students take turns presenting and reading English-language technical books on research (mainly optics) until summer vacation.
Kentaro Shiraki, Professor

The Protein Science Lab studies solutions in which proteins are dissolved. Protein solutions are involved in controlling familiar foods such as egg white, stabilizing biopharmaceuticals, activating enzymes, and developing cosmetics. The lab calls the framework that organizes ways of viewing solutions and compiles design methods for stabilization, activation, and aggregation control "protein solution science." On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Shiraki-Ura Lab."
Yoshiaki Yasuno, Professor

The Medical Imaging Lab researches biomedical optical measurement, centered on technologies such as optical coherence tomography. It started in 1999 as a research group within the Applied Optics Lab, decided in 2002 to make biomedical optical measurement its central research theme, and became an independent research group in 2007. A 2017 introduction of the lab also lists ophthalmic imaging, skin imaging, and 3D polarization microscopy as research areas. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Computational Optics Group."
Yasuhiko Terada, Associate Professor

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lab (Terada Lab) develops and researches MRI equipment and imaging methods. Drawing on physical engineering and information engineering, the lab creates key technologies for using MRI and extends them beyond medicine to fields such as plants, food, and materials engineering. Except for the magnet, all hardware and software are developed in-house in the lab. Current focuses include developing a mobile MRI screening vehicle mounted on a standard passenger car, developing quantitative MRI technology, applying deep learning to MRI, and MRI-based microscopy.
Muneaki Hase, Professor

The lab uses ultrashort pulse lasers of about 10 femtoseconds (1 femtosecond is one quadrillionth of a second) to conduct basic and applied research on ultrafast optical properties of matter. In crystals such as two-dimensional layered materials, it generates lattice vibrations with aligned phase (coherent phonons) and attempts to control phase transitions. The lab also pioneers nonlinear photonics in diamond, aiming for applications such as optical circuits.
