Student Recruitment

We welcome motivated students who are eager to pioneer innovations in communication technology through research.

Our laboratory conducts cutting-edge research at the core of information and communication technologies, including optical communications, signal processing, network control, and AI applications. As infrastructure that underpins society, these technologies demand both advanced expertise and practical skills.

We emphasize creating an environment where students can formulate their own questions, take on challenges, and grow as researchers. In addition to daily research activities, students will have opportunities to broaden their horizons through conference presentations, international collaborations, and joint research with industry.

Learning in our laboratory is only the starting point. We are committed to supporting your growth so that you can thrive in academia, industry, and on the international stage.

If you are sincere in your approach to research and determined to shape the future, we look forward to meeting you.

Interested individuals are welcome to contact us at any time.

Doctoral Program Recruitment

The doctoral program is not about narrowing into a single specialty; rather, it is a stage for developing foundational abilities that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Students cultivate the ability to identify problems, construct hypotheses, design and conduct verifications, interpret results, and communicate them in a reproducible way.

With the rise of AI, routine tasks are increasingly automated. What becomes more valuable are universal human capabilities: the ability to define meaningful questions, redesign methods, exercise critical thinking to assess validity and limitations, and communicate findings with ethics and accountability. The doctoral program is where you rigorously strengthen these essential skills, which are more important than ever across research and implementation fields.

Our laboratory provides an environment to steadily foster these capabilities through hands-on practice. We support progress with regular discussions and personalized guidance, while offering opportunities to present at domestic and international conferences, engage in international collaborations, and participate in joint research with industry. In addition to deepening specialized knowledge, students develop flexibility to redesign approaches as needed and the execution power to deliver concrete results.
