معرفی
Takamasa Momose is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia (UBC), with a joint appointment in Physics and Astronomy. His research bridges Cold Molecules, Laser Spectroscopy, and Subatomic Physics, focusing on quantum effects in chemical reactions and fundamental symmetry violations. Supported by CFI through CRUCS and CHIROS, he operates advanced systems like Zeeman and Stark decelerators and microwave molecular traps to study molecules below 4 K.
- Research Themes: Cold/ultracold molecules, parity violation in chiral systems, neutron EDM for CP violation, laser cooling of antihydrogen.
- Key Projects: Deceleration of free radicals, matrix isolation spectroscopy in parahydrogen/superfluid helium, EDM measurements at TRIUMF, ALPHA collaboration at CERN.
His work has led to 15 recent publications (2023-2025) spanning quantum superfluidity, antimatter gravity, and chiral asymmetry. Notable awards include the Killam Faculty Research Prize (2024) and the G.C. Pimentel Award (2016). Collaborations include the University of Freiburg and institutions like CERN, TRIUMF, and the ALPHA/HAI-CU experiments.
- Scientific Societies: The Chemical Society of Japan, Royal Society of Chemistry.
- Training Legacy: Advised 15+ graduate students (PhD/MSc) and postdocs, including alumni like Brendan Moore (PhD 2023) and Hatsuki Otani (PhD 2024).
