Yoshi Uchida

Professor Yoshi Uchida is a leading figure in particle physics at Imperial College London, where he has been since 2004. He also serves as a Guest Professor at Osaka University, focusing on charged lepton flavor violation research.

• Education: PhD in Physics from MIT (2000), BA in Science from Kyoto University (1994)
• Current roles: Chair of the COMET Collaboration Board, Head of First Year Laboratory at Imperial
• Key affiliations: High Energy Physics Group, COMET, T2K, Super-Kamiokande

Research Interests revolve around neutrino and muon physics, emphasizing precision studies of oscillation parameters and background processes. His work spans custom experiments like COMET and T2K rather than high-energy colliders.

Teaching highlights his leadership in the First Year Laboratory course, fostering independent thinking and professional skills in undergraduates. He also organizes major conferences, including the PhyStat-ν workshop and Vietnam Flavour Physics Conference.

Scientific Awards:

• 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics
• Fundamental Physics Breakthrough Prize

Former Students include prominent researchers like Dr. Artur Sztuc (T2K/Super-K statistics), Dr. Ewen Gillies (COMET machine learning), and Dr. Luke Pickering (NUISANCE framework), now active in academia and industry.

Professional Involvement: Leadership in COMET, T2K, and neutrino conferences. Collaborations with institutions like J-PARC, CERN, and KEK.
