Radoje Belusevic received his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics at the University of Birmingham (UK) in 1981. He has conducted research at University College London (UK), at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Florida (USA) and Stanford (USA), and at major high-energy physics laboratories, including CERN (Switzerland), DESY (Germany) and Fermilab (USA). Since 1991, Dr. Belusevic has been working at the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies of the Japanese High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). His main research interests are the physics of neutrino interactions, electron-positron annihilations and photon-photon collisions, as well as experimental hardware.
