Introduction of the Field
The Field of Applied Physics
The Master's course in Applied Physics was established in April 2019, followed by the Doctor's course in April 2024. These courses aim to foster researchers and specialists who can flexibly apply their knowledge, experience, and creativity for the development of science and technology. The main themes of our course are modern physics and mathematical science, such as condensed-matter physics, biophysics, space science, measurement engineering, computational physics, and nonlinear analysis. We, however, desire students in our course to have interest in not only these main themes but also the whole of engineering because it is indispensable to tackle and resolve unknown problems by various approaches.
With the complication and globalization of the social environment, there is an increasing demand for researchers and specialists who can play a bridging role and make a comprehensive decision with a bird's-eye view covering the whole of engineering. The goal of our course is to foster researchers and specialists who can find the essence of phenomena from the perspective of basic science and resolve various problems by applying their extensive knowledge and experience learned in this course. We also consider the ability to communicate with colleagues with a different background important because it is indispensable to play a bridge role, which is one of the abilities required to our graduates, and cooperatively resolve complicated problems in our global society.
