FUKUSHIMA Kenji

FUKUSHIMA Kenji is a faculty member in the Department of PHY at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on Nuclear Theory, specifically the study of phenomena arising from the strong interaction, including the behavior of quarks and gluons in hadrons and their properties under extreme conditions. His group investigates topics such as high-temperature and high-density QCD matter, relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and the equation of state of dense nuclear and quark matter. The group also engages in collaborative research and hosts open labs for students.

Kenji Fukushima is a Professor of Physics at The University of Tokyo, specializing in Nuclear Theory and Quantum Chromodynamics. His research focuses on the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), particularly at high baryon densities and in extreme magnetic fields. He investigates phenomena such as the chiral magnetic effect, magnetic catalysis, and the interplay between the Polyakov loop and chiral symmetry breaking. His work also explores the dynamics of quark-gluon plasma, hadron production in ultra-relativistic collisions, and the equation of state of neutron stars. Fukushima's contributions span both theoretical models and numerical simulations, advancing our understanding of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions.
