Tokyo Institute of Technology

Tokyo Institute of Technology stands at the forefront of research as the leading university for science and technology in Japan. Building on the Japanese philosophy of monotsukuri, meaning technical ingenuity and innovation, Tokyo Tech researchers are making advances in numerous scientific fields.

In materials science, researchers are creating new superconductive materials using elements abundant in the Earth's crust. In computing, engineers developed the TSUBAME-KFC supercomputer, which has consistently ranked at the top of Green500's list of energy-efficient supercomputers. And in electrical engineering, scientists are developing new communication technologies using vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, devices commonly found in computer mice and which originated at Tokyo Tech.

Globalization is also a key component of Tokyo Tech's research excellence. Centered in one of the most vibrant and influential cities in Asia, Tokyo Tech offers an exciting environment where scientists from around the world come to engage in high-impact research.
