Kyoto University (KU)

At Kyoto University (KU), we place emphasis on research at the wellspring of disciplinary knowledge, advance cutting-edge and original research, enhance our role as a hub for research of the highest global standard, and cultivate individuals capable of assuming leadership positions and making important contributions to many fields of social life, all while upholding "academic freedom" supported by high ethical standards.

The aim of the Department of Nuclear Engineering is to explore quantum technologies leading to the frontiers of science such as quantum beams, nanotechnology, and atomic technology. This is done from a microscopic point of view based on the science of quantum phenomena relating to elementary particles, atomic nuclei, and atoms and molecules. The department also strives to construct recycling systems by developing technological applications in materials, energy, life sciences, and the environment.
