The Electronics and Applied Physics Major is a new major created by merging the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Major and the Materials Engineering Major. The major covers a wide range of fields including physics, optics, electrical and electronic engineering, and materials engineering. Students in this major acquire a foundation in materials science and then learn about materials developments to device application technologies in photonics and electronics. The program aims to cultivate the ability to flexibly respond to the increasingly diverse needs of future society, such as automated driving technology and medical diagnostic technology.

Research Introduction
The Information Photonics Laboratory researches measuring, recording, and reconstructing multidimensional information by effectively combining the nature of light with high-speed, large-capacity information transmission capability and computational signal processing. For example, we are studying the measurement of three-dimensional spatial distribution from zero-dimensional optical signals, and the acquisition of spectral images for each of many wavelength components with a single image capture.
?
The Optical Technology Materials Laboratory conducts research on optical applications using semiconductor nanomaterials. The research themes range from nanocrystal fabrications and characterizations to its device applications, covering a wide range of study about basic solid state physics and application technologies. For example, we have developed broadband near-infrared light sources using semiconductor nanostructures, e.g., quantum dots, for medical imaging technology such as OCT.
