Miho Katsuragawa is a specially appointed project researcher at Kavli IPMU. Her areas of expertise include experimental physics, detector/instrument development, medical application of gamma-ray imaging, and high energy astrophysics. 

She completed her PhD at The University of Tokyo. Her PhD research focused on the observational study of supernova remnants, studying x-rays to uncover star evolution. Her doctoral thesis received an award from the High Energy AstroPhysics Association in Japan. 

Her current research shifted from astrophysics to nuclear medicine, using X-ray and gamma ray detectors used in her previous research to now look into a body. She is developing detectors for medical purposes using semiconducting devices.
