معرفی
Dr. Kei Nagai is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Materials Science at the University of Memphis since 2024. His research focuses on nuclear physics, particularly nucleon structure and non-perturbative aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). He is actively involved in experiments at national accelerator laboratories, such as Fermilab’s SeaQuest collaboration, probing proton internal structure via Drell-Yan processes.
Education: B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Physics from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2012-2017). Prior to his current role, he served as a Research Scientist at Duke University (2024), a Postdoctoral Researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory (2020-2023), and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Academia Sinica (2017-2020).
Research Interests include nucleon structure, quark-gluon dynamics, and proton collisions. His work explores three-dimensional nucleon structure functions and flavor asymmetry in the proton’s sea quarks.
Publications highlight contributions to Drell-Yan dimuon studies, elliptic flow measurements, and quark-gluon plasma dynamics. His research has appeared in journals like Physical Review C, Nature, and Physical Review Letters.
Dr. Nagai collaborates with the SeaQuest experiment, contributing to detector development and data analysis for high-energy physics.
