About awarded research
The realisation of exciton Bose-Einstein condensation, which has been a major issue in quantum physics and solid-state physics for many years, and the recent achievement of positronium laser cooling have been highly evaluated.
Your impression & future plan
I am deeply honored. I would like to express my gratitude to my fellow researchers and students who have conducted research together with me. I will take advantage of the opportunities for lectures in the UK and Germany provided by this award to foster international human exchange. I will continue to enjoy challenging research with students and staff and contribute to research and education.
