ABOUT

Building instruments to observe the universe's rarest particles.

Shion Kubota

I am a neutrino physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a Visiting Associate Professor at the ZERO Institute, Tohoku University.

My research focuses on the development of next-generation detector technologies for neutrino experiments, with an emphasis on liquid argon time projection chambers, cryogenic instrumentation, and detector commissioning.

Beyond research, I enjoy communicating science through public talks, media appearances, and educational outreach, with the goal of making frontier physics accessible to broader audiences.
