Hironori Sakai, Dr.
I was born in Osaka, Japan in 1973. I obtained my B. Sc. (1996), M. Sc. (1998), and D. Sc. (2002) degrees from Kyoto University. I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2002 – 2004) at ASRC, JAEA. Since 2004, I have been a research scientist at ASRC, JAEA. My research is currently focused on magnetism and superconductivity in actinide compounds mainly by means of NMR and NQR techniques.
