Education: Ph. D, graduated in 2002. Experience: From 1998 to 2007, I belonged to an elementary particle physics experiment which was not an accelerator experiment. Major work was detection/analysis of neutrinos induced by cosmic-ray interaction. I started accelerator related work in 2007. So the experience of accelerator related work is recent 4 years. Now I'm managing the radiation safety interlock system for the SPring-8 accelerator. C. Saji: New Radiation Safety Interlock System for the SPring-8 Accelerator Complex 2
