Q. What kind of research do I do in the Tei Lab?
A. Our laboratory is working on software development of next generation software systems, such as IoT systems, automated driving systems, and self-adaptive software. For more details, please refer to the Research section.
Q. How do I decide on my research theme?
A. At first, you will be assigned to the research group that you are interested in. After that, it is encouraged that you can decide the research theme in your own interest. If you have trouble deciding the research theme, senior members of the research group can also provide you with some possible research themes. In both cases, you will be supported by the senior members of your research group.
Q. Where will the lab's activities be based?
