Purpose of class
This class is an English course that focuses on recent topics in electronic systems and related physics.
Course description
This class presents recent research topics in the field of electronic systems. The research fields include electronic devices, circuits, LSI, AI and related hardware, signal processing, control theory, nonlinear phenomenon,
machine learning, and astrophysics.

Professors in the Department of Electronic Information Systems will serve classes on recent trends in their research fields. Each professor’s classes consist of a lecture and an exercise (two weeks or one week). Follow the professors’ instructions about their assignments, reports, and discussions.

NOTE!: The lecture schedule which is shown as follow is tentative. The definitive one will be presented in guidance (1st lecture).
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can discuss recent research topics in the field of electronic systems and related physics.
  2. Students can explain fundamental knowledge to understand recent research topics in the field of electronic systems and related physics.
  3. Students can write reports on the field of electronic systems and related physics according to professors’ instructions.
