After leaving the University of Tokyo, Shungo did his undergrad at Northwestern University, where he worked on a precision measurement of positron g-factor. Eager to see a stronger signal of fundamental symmetry violation he moved to the RaX Collaboration at MIT.
Not knowing at first that the experiment takes place at Harvard, Shungo ended up going back and forth MIT and Harvard, until he was adiabatically transferred to 38 Oxford. You can’t find him in the group photo because he escaped to a dark state.
