We promote joint research such as for countermeasures against global warming and natural disasters, i.e. earthquakes and tsunamis, and advanced medical diagnosis support by using the massive research resources of the Information Technology Center, the University of Tokyo.

We contribute to a wide range of research fields through interdisciplinary joint research activities by employing the cutting-edge computational resources for simulation and data analysis as well as tapping into a professional network of researchers of various fields in both academia and industry.

With the development of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, we are working to solve various problems. Our activities include (1) joint research with researchers in industry on global warming countermeasures by evaluating long-term stability of geologic carbon dioxide sequestration for more than 1,000 years through efficient large-scale simulation; (2) joint research on improving the performance of medical image analysis using machine learning for early detection of various diseases; and (3) joint research on realistic simulation of big earthquakes for greater preparedness against disaster.
