AGRICULTURE&TECHNOLOGYMessagefrom the President
What the world is demanding
today is a truly sustainable society.
Tokyo University of Agriculture andTechnology is developing students who
can solve this problem in the future
through the opportunities for education
and research we offer in the fields ofagriculture and engineering, and thefusion of these two disciplines.

Come and pursue the researchexperience
Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology is
the only national university in Japan that consists ofFaculties of Agriculture and Engineering. Agriculturalscience is a field that contributes to the future by
exploring the connections between people and therest of the natural world. Engineering science, on theother hand, creates a new world in which technology
enriches people’s lives. I am convinced that the fusionof agricultural and engineering sciences will result in
expanding knowledge and contribute to many fields
in coming generations. When we bring together
human understanding of the 4.5 billion years of theearth's natural history and examine those findings
with the latest technology, developed by industrial
manufacturing and AI, we inhabitants of this planet will
understand what we should do next.
The quest for scientific advances and newtechnology based on broad perspectives and flexible
ideas is critical to this challenge to the future. For

Mission
To take on the challenges towards the”realizationof a Sustainable Society”, by contributing to theprogress of science and technology in harmony withworld peace, society and the natural environmentand by striving to create new knowledge andto foster human resources capable of solving
problems and implementing solutions through freeminded education and research in agriculture,engineering and integrated areas.

As a science and technology university centeredin graduate education, we cultivate researchers,
technicians and high-level specialists withsophisticated thinking, high ethical standards
and broad international perception, who possess
leadership and a rich sense of humanity and willcontribute to a coexistence society.

To promote the creation of new and remarkableknowledge through the pursuance of a “missionoriented research”, from basic to applied researchi n t h e a re a s o f a g r i c u l t u re , e n g i n e e r i n g a n d
integrated areas, which support the core of humansociety; and, to serve as a “science and technology
hub” for the development of a sustainable society
in which humans and the environment can coexist.

that only you can perform andreal freedom!
example, when we think about the world's foodproblems, we see that efforts to simply increase
food production will not result in essential
solutions. Yes, we need deep understanding of
the principles of nature, but we also must havethe wisdom to tackle questions like “What doesit mean to be a human being?” and “What is true
human happiness?” Therefore, Tokyo Universityof Agriculture and Technology is working hard
to clarify a goal of broad understanding, beyond
narrow bounds of science and technology in order
to truly educate the next generation of researchersand engineers.
Research activities that transcend existingdomains lead to the search for truth that is essential
to life as a free person. Serious study and research
are part of “the challenge to live a free life”. Knowing
yourself, knowing the world, broadening yourhorizons, and being confident in your capabilities

will set you free to live a meaningful life. Opening
the door to research into the unknown takes a lotof courage. But those who have acquired a wide
range of knowledge as well as important skills havethe freedom to act upon their courageous decisions.
Only when serious researchers open this door to
the unknown can innovations that change the worldcome into existence.
The aim of this University is to provide coursesof study and opportunities for research that ignite
our students' creativity. I want you to discover yourunknown talents in this place where world-classagricultural and engineering knowledge cometogether. And with the freedom you gain, you willsoar into your place in this global society.
In 2024, Tokyo University of Agriculture andTechnology will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
And your free creativity will support this university
for the next 150 years!

Elucidating the effects of pesticides on aquatic insects anddeveloping production technologies in harmony with the environment

How can various insecticide non-target insects in the field be protected from the effects of insecticides?
We conduct research in the field of “Applied Entomology”. Commonly used insecticides can also negatively
affect non-pests and even beneficial insects. Therefore, it is necessary to study the compositions,concentrations, and modes of use of pesticides that are intended to maintain crop productivity, in order
to also assure maintenance of the diversity of various organisms that ordinarily live in the field. Field
research often does not go as expected. This is a challenge we face as we pursue our goal of developing
environmentally friendly production technologies.

Reading and understanding genomic information andusing biological techniques to increase crop production

We are using insects and ticks as our basic research subjects. They are a treasure trove of diversity and allow us to study
multiple themes, from the control of agricultural pests to basic research in environmental biology. For example, spider
mites (tetranychus urticae) are extremely resistant to pesticides; the effectiveness of new pesticides against this typeof mite decreases over the next few years after they are released. Therefore, we are focusing on the possibility of using
a biological phenomenon called RNA interference against them. Using this phenomenon, we hope to develop nextgeneration pesticides that incorporate biological techniques and are different from conventional synthetic pesticides. We
hope to contribute to increasing crop production by combining agricultural and advanced biological technologies.

Our research mainly focuses on water circulation in forests. From the perspective of how rainwater moves on
soil and affects landsliding, we study how to create sound forests. And to prevent landslide disasters are also
our goals by coordinating with the forestry industry activities. To that end, we visit mountains at least once
every two weeks for fieldwork, including measuring rainfall amount and the light environment in forests. Many

we apply a mathematical method called the “phase field method” or the “homogenized finite
element method” to predict how the internal structure of a material forms and how this relates to
its mechanical properties. We are able to use mathematical formulas to express the phenomena

Supporting information technology security
through the use of cryptography based on mathematical theory

In our laboratory, we study the cryptography that will become the foundation of information security
technology. For example, the bids made at auctions can be very sensitive information that is directly
linked to the economic conditions of a company or individual. Therefore, it is really important to have asystem in place that checks each person’s or organization’s bid without allowing any leaks, so that only
the identity of the highest bidder is made public. Use of the “secret calculation” technology that we aredeveloping will make it possible to reveal only the truly necessarily public data. This type of study shows
how mathematical theory can play an important role in real-world information exchanges.

Graduate School of Bio-Applications and Systems Engineering(BASE) established in 1995 to offer a two-year Master’s programand a three-year Doctoral program. BASE aims to foster talented
individuals endowed with both a wide range of perspectives in the
combined disciplines of Agriculture and Engineering. In response tosocial demands, this Graduate School encourages the re-educationof specialized engineers who are already in the workforce.
In 2005, a joint project was initiated between TUAT and Waseda
University, a private university, to promote the commercializationof research findings. In addition to a new course, “Advance Health
Science”, was established and it is the first collaboration of its kind inJapan between a national university and a private university.
