Dr. Katsuya Oguri

Vice President,
Head of NTT Basic Research Laboratories, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation

We at NTT Basic Research Laboratories (BRL) are extremely grateful for your interest and support with respect to our research activities.
The missions of BRL are the promotion of advances in science as well as the contribution to the NTT's business. To achieve these missions, we conduct basic research in the fields of Materials Science, Physical Science and Optical Science.
The fundamental of our management is an "open door" policy. For example, we are collaborating with many universities and research institutes in Japan, US, Europe, and Asia as well as other NTT Laboratories. We also organize "Science Plaza" and international conferences on Quantum Physics and Nano-Science at Atsugi R&D Center to disseminate our research output and to hear your opinions. In addition, we sponsor "BRL School" dedicated to young researchers around the world every other year. In this school, we invite distinguished researchers in the world as lecturers, so young researchers including researches in NTT are given the opportunities to learn from the foremost authorities in Quantum Physics and to share ideas with them.
These activities enable us to fulfil an "open door" policy and our missions of the promotion of advances in science as well as the contribution to the NTT's business. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
