Observing physical phenomena no one has ever seen, new discoveries, new technologies. We aim to be a laboratory where the joy of pursuing new frontiers creates value and leads to people, knowledge, and technologies that benefit society. We are pioneering “phonon engineering,” the next generation of semiconductor thermal control technology enabled by semiconductor nanostructures based on deep physical understanding and meticulous design. Phonons are carriers of heat, and by advanced control of their transport, we develop applications in thermal management of advanced semiconductor devices, construction of quantum communication networks, and environmental heat power generation. Additionally, using our laboratory’s proprietary three-dimensional thermal conductivity measurement and imaging techniques, we conduct research on heat dissipation for AlN, GaN, SiC power devices, and graphene—materials for which demand is increasing toward three-dimensional advanced semiconductors—as well as device thermal analysis to meet the needs of material development companies. We would be delighted if our physics exploration driven by intellectual curiosity and new technology development aimed at solving social issues contribute to the development of the AI industry and carbon neutrality. Our entire laboratory works together, enjoying our research while advancing it forward. We accept master’s and doctoral students and are continuously recruiting postdoctoral researchers.
