Faculty Members

The faculty member of the Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science consists of 28 faculty members (14 professors, 13 Associate Professor, 1 Senior Assistant Professor selected mostly from Institute of Agriculture and Institute of Engineering). Since there are four courses for each specialized field, faculty member in each field of predictive informatics, resource and energy science, health and welfare science, and food and environmental science will be in charge of these courses. All faculty members are comprised of those who have PhDs in agriculture, engineering or related fields and internationally recognised achievements in interdisciplinary fields. The curriculum will be operated by TUAT faculty members to work on the creation of advanced interdisciplinary fields that incorporate new information fields, based on specialized fields of agriculture or engineering.
The faculty members of the department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science are affiliated with Institute of Agriculture in Fuchu campus or Institute of Engineering in Koganei campus. Therefore, depending on the location of a supervisor, students will also engage in research activities in a laboratory on one of the campuses. Although students are dispersed to both campuses, consideration will be given when preparing the timetable (for example, classes will be held only at the Fuchu campus on certain days of the week) so that there will be no inconvenience in taking courses or conducting research. In addition, many Faculty Member will be located on the Koganei Campus, and the administrative organization will be permanently stationed at the Koganei Campus because the current Graduate School of Bio-Applications and Systems Engineering Office will take over. On the other hand, there will be an office, a conference seminar room, and a lecture room as satellite offices of the Graduate School on the Fuchu Campus. Administrative staff will be stationed in the office to create an environment for online meetings, research guidance, and lectures to be conducted without delay. The new graduate school will further reduce the burden on Faculty Member and students due to different campuses, and will take measures to ensure that there are no disparities between campuses. The Koganei Campus will also have satellite offices that can be freely used by students and Faculty Member who are mainly located on the Fuchu Campus. At the time of the establishment of the new Graduate School, the university will provide full support and take responsibility for the development of both campuses so that Faculty Member students belonging to the Graduate School of Justice can engage in education and research while going 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 who can contribute to the development of education and research in the School of Advanced Interdisciplinary Sciences. The department will be organized by faculty members who fully understand the significance of fostering specialist/professionals and are willing to implement and develop new educational programs such as enhancement of AI, mathematical, 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.

Age composition of Faculty Member

Of 28 faculty members in the Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science, 17 are in engineering and 11 are in agriculture, of which 14 are professors.
At the end of the school year, March 2027, the age structure of faculty members will be 1 in their 30s, 17 in their 40s, 7 in their 50s, and 3 in their 60s. In the event of a vacancy due to mid-career retirement, etc., the appointment of a successor will be carried out promptly so as not to interfere with the education and research of the Department of Advanced Interdisciplinary Science in accordance with the university-wide personnel plan through the prescribed procedures within the university.
