Sub-Program in Applied Physics covers the fields of applied physics, which focuses on measurement as an application of physics, and nanotechnology, which opens up the world of microscopic, advanced electronics, and the future of electronics. Our subprogram is divided into research groups in seven fields, and in addition, there is a cooperative graduate school system with NIMS and AIST.
