Dr. Shigeki Hirose (Assistant Professor, Tomonaga Center for the History of the Universe, Institute of Pure and Applied Science) has been awarded the 3rd AAPPS-JPS Award for his experimental research on the Higgs sector using tau leptons as probes. This award was established jointly by the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS) and the Physical Society of Japan (JPS) to honor the achievements of early-carrier researchers with outstanding research accomplishments in the Asia-Pacific region. Dr. Hirose was recognized for his success in applying machine learning to reduce errors in the precise measurement of Higgs-tau lepton coupling at the LHC-ATLAS experiment (CERN, Switzerland). Additionally, his leadership, demonstrating international influence critical for propelling the large international collaboration, and his advanced expertise in detector technologies were highly evaluated. These achievements have positioned him as a key figure in laying the foundation for future high-energy physics experiments.
