and cyber security, energy systems and sensors, photonics and nanotechnology, and signal and
information systems. These technologies include key parts of electric, electronic, and computers to
lead the global economic market of the future and to create new technologies with massive social
and economic impact.
To meet the needs of the future where AI, AR gaming, drone and IoT are emerging as new buzz-
words, the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is focusing on the eld of elec-
10 tronics, which includes information, telecommunication, semiconductors, and photonics as well as
the eld of computing that includes computation and algorithms. With a shared vision and objec-
tives, students and researchers in the graduate courses and doctoral programs who have diverse
backgrounds and degrees (electric, electronic, computation, computer, information, telecommuni-
cation, control and measurement, mechanic, physics, chemical, math, statistics, and industrial engi-
neering) gather to study and develop core technologies to drive the future in creative and cooperative
perform group research in eight different areas. This is to enhance efciency and competitiveness
of research while responding faster to new emerging academic areas based on convergence with
relevant academic disciplines. As part of these efforts, the school is hosting diverse research groups,
including BK21 Plus Program, Amano Center for Advanced LEDs, Gwangju Senior technology com-
plex, Photonics Research Facility Center, Photonics Research Facility Center, Center for Photon
Information Processing, Gwangju Digital consumer Electronics Center, Massively Distributed Sensor
Network Center, Intelligent Sensors Research Center, Super Computing Center, Realistic Broadcast-

ing Research Center, Center for Integrated Access Systems, Electronic Warfare Research Center,
Smart Software Research Center, Center for Hybrid Optical Access Network, and Center for Optimal
Dementia Care Technology Research to take the lead in global research and commercialization of
technologies with active cooperation between industry and academia.
