Associate ProfessorI am actively conducting research on elementary particles, employing neutrinos at the highest energies attainable by humankind. My primary goal is to investigate potential undiscovered physics interactions between quarks and leptons. Specifically, I focus on the tau neutrino, the least understood among the three neutrinos, as it may serve as a key to unveiling previously unknown aspects of physics. For this, I am recognized as a world expert in the detection techniques for tau neutrinos.
Recent Topics of Interests:
I am interested in the existence of three generations of elementary particles—quarks and leptons—and the connection between their essential nature and the structure of the universe.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Bringing out a plot that no one has ever seen before.
Conducting research within my distinct realm of expertise.
Hobby / Holiday:
Research for my own, Programming, Playing with my son, PuyoPuyo!!Quest, FORTNITE, Fixing cars, Swimming in the Aare River

Associate ProfessorCosmic rays, high-energy particles that travel at almost the speed of light, are ubiquitous throughout the universe. More than a century after their discovery, their origin remains one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics. My research focuses on shock waves and magnetic energy release associated with explosive astrophysical phenomena, aiming to uncover how the plasma components of cosmic rays—protons and electrons—gain energy spanning more than 20 orders of magnitude. I employ first-principles simulations that self-consistently model the evolution of charged particles and electromagnetic fields, leveraging cutting edge software and the flagship supercomputers of Japan.
