I am an experimentalist specializing in muon physics experiments and their applications. I focus on precise measurements of muon's magnetic and electric dipole moments, developing a high-repetition-rate muon source, and applying muography in urban environments. As a hobby, I also develop muon detection educational and outreach tools with my team members.
