Research

I do research on the properties of the most basic constituents of matter. This research requires the use of specialized high energy accelerators ("atom smashers") that only exist at only a few locations in the world---not, unfortunately, in Hawaii. However, Hawaii is the closest place in the U.S. to the world's best facilities for studying subatomic particles that contain b (for "beauty") quarks: the Belle experiment at the KEK laboratory in Tsukuba Japan; and c (for "charmed") quarks: the BES-III detector at the IHEP laboratory in Beijing, China. My UH colleagues and I take advantage of this proximity and collaborate in research efforts at both of these laboratories.
