With rapid development and wide expansion of information technology (IT) on a global basis, the variety and complexity of information that we receive daily are about to expand further. To live in such a highly developed information society, IT systems should become more flexible, effective, and most importantly, intelligent.

A promising direction to realize such an intelligent system is to learn from humans, who sense a variety of external stimuli via sensory organs and can generate prompt and flexible reactions to stimuli through complicated information processing in the brain. To achieve a next-generation computer system, we investigate biological systems as an ideal information processing system to maximize IT systems' computational capabilities.

With more than 25 academic staff, the Department offers these degrees: Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Engineering. As part of a leading technology university in Japan, the department has concentrated research areas with a strong publication record and public granting profile. Graduates from the department have a good domestic and a good international reputation in a wide range of interesting academic and industrial careers. Over 16 overseas students from 8 countries are studying in this department. Our department comprises three major chairs, Computer Systemics, Human Informatics and Computational Intelligence.
