Our people

Aritoki Suzuki is a Staff Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He received his PhD in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013 and joined LBNL as a scientist in 2017.

He is an experimental physicist with deep expertise in instrumentation, specializing in superconducting device development and RF technology across the MHz to THz wavelength range. His career has been driven by a passion for building cutting-edge instruments that enable the exploration of fundamental questions about the universe.

Over the years, he has contributed to some of the most ambitious experiments in cosmic microwave background research, including POLARBEAR, the Simons Array, LiteBIRD, and CMB-S4. These projects aimed to probe the earliest moments of the universe through precision measurements of CMB polarization, and his work focused on developing the detector and readout technologies that made these observations possible.

Today, his research spans several exciting frontiers. He is actively working on LuSEE-Night, a pathfinder experiment designed to observe the universe from the radio-quiet far side of the Moon, and TESSERACT, a next-generation dark matter detection experiment. Alongside these projects, he leads fundamental device R&D efforts that push the boundaries of detector technology for applications in fundamental physics.

Looking ahead, he is deeply interested in the potential of quantum technology and line intensity mapping as powerful new tools for discovery. He believes that innovation in instrumentation is key to unlocking the next generation of breakthroughs in our understanding of the cosmos.
