Data Science

The Data Science combines the Systems Science and the Intelligent Information Science to advance technologies for processing and applying information in complex “systems” involving people, society, and the environment. Research focuses on mathematical data analysis, AI integration, and human-centered interface design. Through education grounded in information engineering, the program fosters innovators who can create new value through data-driven approaches. Students gain mathematical expertise, practical skills, and global perspectives—developing the independence, collaboration, and creativity needed to become future leaders in data science and technology.

The System Science explores data application and analysis technologies for processing meaningful information embedded in broad “systems” that include the Earth, society, humans, living organisms, and artificial objects.
Research spans mathematical modeling, optimization, machine learning, and evolutionary computation, as well as multi-agent simulation and system design verification. By integrating mathematics with data science, the course aims to establish advanced and versatile foundations for data analysis and system understanding.

Analysis of Programming Block Interaction Data

The Intelligent Information Science focuses on the interfaces through which information about people, the environment, and systems themselves is exchanged. Its goal is to realize intelligent information systems that are easy for humans to use and understand.
By integrating the latest artificial intelligence technologies with data science, the course advances research on interfaces that support human learning and accessibility, as well as on methods for evaluating these systems. It also promotes studies on medical image analysis, including MRI and CT data, and the development of technologies for diagnostic support and information exchange.

Information Systems Engineering

The Information Systems Engineering consists of two divisions — the Division of Fundamental Information Engineering and the Division of Applied Information Engineering — comprising six specialized fields. These six fields represent areas that are expected to play vital roles in regional and societal development in the coming years. Students explore cutting-edge theories and technologies in information systems engineering, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how to utilize information effectively. Through research and practical inquiry, they develop specialized expertise and the capability to translate knowledge into real-world innovation.
