Department of Physics and Electronics
About
Pursue electronics that will create the IoT era.
At the Department of Physics and Electronics, you will study electronics, nanotechnology, and materials science, which support today’s society and create the next generation.
Science and technology related to electronics is based on an academic system called physical electronics. Technologies that physical electronics make possible include those that make use of the properties of electrons as electric charges, those that use light generated by the energy transition of electrons, and those that use magnetism caused by the spinning of electrons.
Physical electronics, which covers a wide range of academic fields that support electronics, can be broadly divided into the study of electronic physical properties and the study of electronic materials. The interrelationship between these “two wheels” of physical electronics has made modern society possible. The development of IoT technology and the realization of a sustainable society, however, will require the development of the entire field of physical electronics, including the development of novel devices. To that end, it is vital that both disciplines are deepened and developed even further. In consideration of this situation, the Department of Physics and Electronics will familiarize you with the knowledge and skills that are common to both electronic physical properties and electronic materials and necessary for the development of physical electronics. In this way, the Department fosters human resources who excel in electronic physical properties and those who excel in electronic materials, the “two wheels” that support the development of physical electronics.
