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.
After my Ph.D., I worked as a project postdoc at the Centre of Excellence in Quark Matter at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland for two years.
Currently, I am a RIKEN-Berkeley fellow at the RIKEN iTHEMS (Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences), and stationed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and RIKEN Berkeley Center at University of California, Berkeley in United State.
If you want to know more, please take a look at my Curriculum Vitae.
