My research focuses on answering fundamental questions about our Universe: Why is matter dominating antimatter? What is the properties of neutrinos? Are there additional neutrino flavors? What is does invisible universe consist of?
In order to answer these questions, I spend most of my time on the development of powerful detector technology, Liquid Argon Projection Chamber (LArTPC). Collaborating with my colleagues here at BNL, I work developing a novel neutrino event reconstruction algorithm, known as Wire-Cell tomographic imaging, which is used in MicroBooNE experiment.
Before joining BNL, I also worked on dark matter direct detection with COSINE-100 experiment at Yangyang Underground Laboratory, as well as on neutrion interaction with T2K experiment at J-PARC.
