Background of the recruitment and description of the project
"Information" is a vague entity. In order to see information, analyze information, and turn information into something usable, a lot of research, such as those in advanced mathematical theories, high-performance computing technology, and artificial intelligence, has been conducted. Today, information has been turned into something that can be processed by computers, which enables us to use them more efficiently. However, there are still many theories that need to be proved and technologies that need to be developed to realize the true potential of information and understand how to make better use of it. There are bound to be vast applications of information that no one has thought of yet. At the School of Computing, we are engaged in everything from advanced theories on information to cutting-edge technologies, examining them from both the science and engineering perspectives. We are working to gain a deeper understanding of what information really is, how it is and can be used, and develop innovative technologies through this knowledge. We are continuously in pursuit of information science and technology that contribute to society.
