About me
Hello! I am Yuuka Kanakubo, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in nuclear and high-energy physics. My research focuses on
developing Monte-Carlo simulations of relativistic nuclear collisions.
I received Ph.D. in physics from Sophia University in Japan supported by the
Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC1) from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science,
Currently I am a project postdoc at the Centre of Excellence in Quark Matter at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland .
If you want to know more, please take a look at my Curriculum Vitae.
For contact, please send me an email to yuuka.kanakubo_aT_gmail.com (please replace _aT_ with @).
Also you can find me on social media listed at the bottom of this page.

"In order to study the question of vacuum, we must turn to a different direction; we should investigate some "bulk" phenomena by distributing high energy over a relatively large volume." ⸺ T. D. Lee (1975)
"Our basic picture then is that matter at densities higher than nuclear consists of a quark soup." ⸺ J. C. Collins and M. J. Perry (1975)

A project to launch my personal website had been on my bucket list for a long time. The website is still under construction, but I am planning to include an introduction to my scientific works both for general audience and specialists. So, stay tuned! [Read More]
