Towards realizing a super smart society (Society 5.0), science and technology that brings sophisticated cooperation between physical space and cyber space is important. Our laboratory conducts education and research on information photonics, which aims at creating novel valuable information technology through a strong fusion of optics/photonics and mathematical/information science. In particular, we are exploring high-performance and highly functional optical information systems for optical computing, optical computational imaging/sensing, and optical interfaces with humans and materials.
