Electrical Engineering

For the modern world, computer-based information and communications technology (ICT) is a crucial technology found in every high-tech device and machine, making it indispensable to the functioning of society. In addition, the fields of materials science and electronics, which produce the hardware upon which ICT is run, as well as the fields of energy and control, which enable the hardware to be powered and operated, are also of indispensable importance.

Research Groups & Research Areas

  • Communications / Information

    Conveying information without errors. This is an important role to be fulfilled by communication. However, the radio waves sent out from a cell phone on the move are subject to many different types of interference and obstruction, and signals from a computer connected to the Internet are also exposed to noise and distortion. Building circuits and systems to transmit image and sound information correctly to the recipient is also a task of electrical engineering.

  • Energy / Control

    Moving things requires energy, and the cleanest energy is electric power. How this electric power is generated and distributed is a major issue in energy measures for the future. It is also important to control this energy to ensure its effective use, and to control robots, automobiles and the like while accurately tracking their state.

    Wada Research Group / Koizumi Research Group / Sakata Research Group / Ueda Research Group / Yamaguchi Research Group

  • Materials / Electronics

    We are surrounded by substances of many different types and forms. The development of new materials from these substances is gaining much attention, and important pillars supporting them are various materials and electronic devices mainly consisting of semiconductors. Electrical engineering also includes designing electronic circuits as suitable for a given application, and developing new electronic components and materials.
