Ozaki directed the construction of TRISTAN, a 60 GeV e+e- collider, the first major high energy physics facility in Japan . After completing TRISTAN on schedule and on budget in 1987, he returned to Brookhaven as Head of the RHIC Project which was completed in 1999, leading to an outstanding physics program. Currently, Ozaki is the Senior Project Advisor to the NSLS-II Project at BNL, the role he assumed in August 2007 after serving as the Director for the Accelerator Systems Division since its inception in 2005. |
