Career History:

  • Assistant Professor, University of Hawai’i (April 2024 – present)
  • Designated Associate Professor, Nagoya University (April 2021 – April 2023)
  • Postdoctoral Researcher, Iowa State University (October 2019 – March 2021)
  • Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Pennsylvania (October 2014 – September 2019)

My research primarily focuses on particle physics, specifically in detector development and physics analysis.
Currently, I am working on the development of the iTOP detector for high-luminosity operations
and on the beam loss monitor system at SuperKEKB/Belle II.

My work aims to uncover fundamental aspects of the universe by searching for physics beyond the Standard Model.
Previously, at the LHC-ATLAS experiment, I contributed to both supersymmetry and Higgs research.
I am dedicated to scientific discovery and mentoring students, as well as working on detector operation and upgrades,
which are crucial for the success of such experiments.
