担当教員が最先端の研究成果について基礎事項を踏まえながら説明し、物性研究の最前線で何が問題となり、どこまで解決されているのかを解説する。 Results of the cutting-edge research of the solid state physics are introduced by six professors from ISSP. Students will learn the forefront problems and ongoing studies to solve them.

Statistics and biometrics have emerged as crucial disciplines not only in agricultural sciences but also in various other fields. This significance is primarily attributed to three factors: Firstly, advancements in data measurement techniques have facilitated the collection of extensive and diverse biological and agronomic data that were previously unattainable. Secondly, the evolution of data science methodologies has enabled the integration and modeling of such collected data. Thirdly, the enhancement of computational capabilities has empowered the utilization of these methodologies. These advancements have rendered statistical and biometric methods indispensable for extracting insights from the vast and varied biological and agronomic datasets. Throughout this lecture series, a diverse array of biological and agronomic datasets will serve as illustrative examples to demonstrate various analytical methods. Delivered in a hands-on format, utilizing R, Python, and Matlab, the aim is to equip students with practical analysis skills. The initial portion of the course, spanning the first one-third, will focus primarily on techniques for summarizing, visualizing, and modeling relationships within multivariate datasets. In the subsequent one-third, students will delve into linear models, linear mixed models, local regression, and nonlinear models. Finally, in the last segment, students will explore image analysis, machine learning, and deep learning methods. While the course will cover a broad spectrum of methods, ranging from introductory to advanced levels, the emphasis will be on developing the capability to independently conduct analyses rather than on elaborating on the theoretical underpinnings of the methods.

固体の示す基本的な性質（物性）から最先端の話題までを、量子力学や統計力学の知識をもとに微視的に理解する。 The present lecture aims at understanding the physical properties of solids and recent research topics from microscopic viewpoints, based on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.

The performance and integration density of field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have been improved by reducing their size. However, in recent years, it has become essential to improve performance by making various innovations to the materials, such as introducing strain into semiconductors to increase mobility through a technique called strain engineering, and increasing the gate capacitance by introducing high-dielectric-constant gate insulating films. The aim of this lecture is to understand the material innovations for improving transistor performance and the expansion of the field of transistor applications through the introduction of new materials.

宇宙開発、宇宙科学の分野においても、電気電子工学の役割は重要である。本講義では、宇宙航空研究開発機構所属の教員などから、実際の宇宙分野での電気電子工学の応用例を紹介し、学部講義で習っている電気電子工学の基礎知識が実社会でどのように役立っているかを実感することを目的とする。／ Electrical and electronic engineering is important for space development and space science. The lecture provides actual application of electrical and electronic engineering in space by researchers of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and the University of Tokyo. The purpose of the lecture is that students learn how fundamental class in the University is useful for real society.

広く産学官にわたってグローバルに活躍するために必要な「俯瞰力」を養成することを目指す。物質科学の各分野について最先端の知識を修得し、自分の専門分野と周辺分野がどのように関連するか、あるいはし得るか、について深く考察するために、第一線で活躍する講師の方々にその分野の最前線を概観していただく。さらに、それらの講義を通して異分野間のコミュニケーションを円滑に進めるための具体的方法論を学ぶ。 This survey course is designed to enable students to develop the broad perspective that is required of global leaders working in and across industry, academia, and government. Students will gain knowledge and insight on advancements in each field of materials science research, given by leading researchers working on the frontline in those fields. This will allow students to consider how peripheral fields are related to their own area of expertise, and to consider the potential for forging bridges between related fields in the future. In addition, students will learn specific methodologies designed to facilitate smooth communication among different disciplines.

In production and consumption of materials, structural materials are dominant. Technological development in materials industry affects significant positive impacts in broad end uses. A newly developed high-performance materials fulfill higher design requirement, which makes more advanced product design possible. The first half of this class introduces production process of major materials and life cycle perspective on materials, especially structural materials. We discuss interactions amongst materials, finished products, economy, and environment in order to understand roles of materials in industrial metabolism. Global material flows and resource strategy are also introduced to give you a global vision on resources and materials. The latter half of this class introduces high-temperature materials for jet engine or gas turbine in the power plant. The processing and the necessary properties of high-temperature materials will be introduced to understand how they are designed.

4学期に開講された電磁気学の内容を受け、それをもとに物質中の電磁現象について学ぶ。第一の目標を静的な電場、磁場の下での物質の誘電性や磁性の理解とし、第二の目標を電磁波（動的な電磁場）下での物質の応答の理解とする。これらを通して日常的に体験できる電磁気現象や電子機器の仕組みなどを理解するための基礎を身につける。

This course will focus on the dynamics of museum collections in contemporary society. Particular attention will be paid to the meaning and politics of provenance--where the items on display come from and the socio-political-economic background behind that origin. The instructor's specialty is US cultural studies but the class will spend a considerable amount of time talking about museums in Japan. The class combines readings with exploring visits to actual sites.
