Organization
Faculty Members
The Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science of the Graduate School consists of 28 faculty members selected from Institute of Agriculture and Institute of Engineering (at the time of establishment in April 2025: 14 professors, 13 associate professors and 1 senior assistant professor)Faculty members in the specialized fields of predictive informatics, resource and energy science, health and welfare science, and food and environmental science are in charge of the four courses for each specialized field at this department. All faculty members have PhDs in agriculture, engineering or related fields and internationally recognized achievements in interdisciplinary fields. The curriculum will be operated mainly by the university's full-time faculty members, creating a framework that supports the development of advanced interdisciplinary fields that integrate information-related disciplines with the university’s established strengths in agriculture or engineering.
The full-time faculty members of the Graduate School of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science are affiliated with the Institute of Agriculture, the Institute of Engineering or other related institutions, which are located on either the Fuchu campus or the Koganei campus. Students will also engage in research activities in a laboratory on either campuses, depending on the location of their supervisors. Although faculty members and students are dispersed to both campuses, consideration will be taken when creating a timetable (e.g., classes will be held only on the Fuchu campus on certain days of the week) so that there will be no inconvenience to courses and research guidance. The administrative organization is stationed on the Koganei campus because the Graduate School of Bio-Applications and Systems Engineering office has taken over the administrative role for this department and most faculty members of the Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science are also located on the Koganei campus. On the Fuchu campus, we have prepared a satellite office, including conference rooms, seminar rooms, and lecture rooms, where administrative staff support for online meetings, research guidance, and lectures to be conducted smoothly. The new graduate school has taken measures to reduce burden on the faculty members and students and to avoid disparities between campuses. The Koganei Campus will also have a satellite office that can be freely used by students and faculty members who are mainly located on the Fuchu Campus. In establishing the new graduate school, the university will fully support and take responsibility for the development of the faculty members and students belonging to this graduate school on both campuses so that they can engage in education and research while traveling back and forth without feeling inconvenienced.
Faculty Member Organization
Consisting of two faculties, agriculture and engineering, the Graduate School of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science brings together the strengths of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, which has a cutting-edge track record not only in basic research but also in applied research in the fields of agriculture and engineering. In order to maximize the educational and research resources of the new graduate school, we will organize an educational organization that is both diverse and centripetal. The main features are as follows.
- The educational system of this department consists of a total of 28 faculty members (at the time of establishment in April 2025) who can contribute to the development of education and research at Graduate School of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science. It is organized by faculty members who fully understand the significance of human resource development in advanced Specialist industries and are willing to implement and develop new educational programs such as enhancing AI, mathematics, and data science education.
- Although this department is an independent major within the new Graduate School of Graduate Sciences, it will be operated in close cooperation with the Institute of Agriculture, Institute of Engineering, and Faculty of Agriculture and Technology, which are the parent organizations of Faculty Member. For example, we will emphasize the collaboration between high school and university that has already been established in each faculty to the master's (master's) program, and utilize the network between related Faculty Member to establish a consistent educational guidance system from undergraduate education.
- In conducting master's thesis research, the full-time Faculty Member of this department will be the main Supervisor, and two sub-Supervisor will be assigned. In order to carry out advanced and interdisciplinary research, we will establish a research guidance system that allows full-time Faculty Member from other schools to be in charge of one of the sub-Supervisor on the premise that the teaching qualifications will be examined.
