The world is making rapid progress with the aim of building and improving the necessary social infrastructure and creating a sustainable society utilizing IoT or other technologies. Measurement and evaluation techniques are becoming increasingly important.
In this center, we promote the research and development of new measurement and evaluation technologies by making full use of evaluation methods with light and electromagnetic waves, sound waves, electron and particle beams, nanoprobes, etc. and applying the technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, etc. to them. Their application fields are generally classified into two fields: the material science field such as nanotechnologies including semiconductors, functional devices, etc. and the medical related field such as pathological diagnosis, drug discovery, etc. Measurement and evaluation technologies are indispensable to them and form the core of Japan’s industry. Further development of those technologies bears the future of Japan.
By utilizing Tsukuba’s regional characteristics, the experts from inside and outside the university gather together in our center, and with a core of Collaborative Research Project for Advanced SEM Technology by Hitachi High-Tech in conjunction with the University of Tsukuba we will continue to strive toward developing innovative measurement and evaluation technology with high accuracy and quality.
We are focusing on establishing a more vibrant, internationally competitive and attractive characterization system.
