Research Themes
Particle physics research with high-energy accelerators
I research particle physics to investigate elementary materials and the origins of the universe. In particular, I strive to develop particle measurement devices to observe matter and anti-matter symmetry breaking, the properties of the Higgs boson, dark matter and dark energy, and so on through accelerator neutrino experiments and international linear collider experiments. I also research in the aim of clarifying the mechanisms of new low-energy nucleus reactions in solids.

Teaching Philosophy
I place importance on curiosity, and feel it is important to question even trivialities to seek their essence, as this leads to new discoveries. To that end, I cultivate students to be intelligent, discerning, and creative.
