Job Experience
In 1982, Yasufumi Yamada joined the Electrical Communication Laboratories, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (present NTT), Ibaraki, where he had been engaged in basic research on fabrication technologies on silica-based waveguide. This research leaded to essential optical components in optical communication network called planar lightwave circuits (PLC).
From 1987 to 1998, Dr. Yamada had been engaged in research and development on hybrid integration of opto-electric devices on a PLC platform.

In 1998, he transferred to NTT Electronics Corporation (NEL).
He first took on the challenge of launching a business on hybrid-integrated PLC (H-PLC),
From 2001 to 2005, he had been engaged in management of PLC fabrication factories.
From 2005 to 2011, he was Executive Manager of the PLC business division.

In 2011, he got promoted to Executive Director of NEL.
In 2014, he transferred to NEL crystal corporation which was a subsidiary of NEL, and he got promoted to President.
In 2019, he returned to NTT Electronics as Senior Adviser.
In March 2022, Dr. Yamada has retired NTT Electronics.
