Kohsaku Tobioka

Kohsaku Tobioka is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Florida State University. He joined the faculty in 2018 after postdoctoral appointments at Stony Brook University (2017-2018), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan (2014), and a joint position at Tel Aviv University and Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel (2014-2017).

• Education: Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Tokyo (2014)

His research focuses on theoretical particle physics, particularly exploring physics beyond the Standard Model through phenomena like supersymmetry, extra dimensions, dark matter, and axions. He integrates cosmology and astroparticle physics with experimental approaches at high-intensity facilities such as B/K meson factories.

Scientific Recognition:

• JSPS Research Fellow for Young Scientists (2014-2016)

Tobioka actively engages in outreach through programs like Saturday Morning Physics at Florida State University and is open to speaking engagements at local schools.
