Experimental neutrino physics and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model is a fundamental research direction in particle physics and nuclear physics. I am interested in the following fields: (1) Detection of MeV-scale neutrinos, such as solar-, Geo- and Supernova neutrinos. (2) Study of neutrino mixing in vacuum and matter. (3) Search for CP violation both lepton and quark sectors, and evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model using rare kaon decay. (4) Determination of strange quark mass and Vus in CKM matrix using the strangeness tau lepton decay.
