S. Nagamiya

Biography

Abstract

Shoji Nagamiya is the Director of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) (2006-present). Other institutional affiliations include Columbia University, University of Tokyo, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research includes nuclear matter at extreme conditions using high-energy heavy-ion accelerators, and the search for new forms of matter such as highly excited hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma.
