Description:... Professor Lai combines a deep understanding of the physics of high energy particle interactions with a rare insight into the evolution of the tenuous trails which they leave behind in naturally occurring chemical systems. Thus, by tracking down the exotic products of these high energy interactions into the specific niches of various low energy chemical reservoirs, he has made pioneering contributions to such diverse fields a astrophysics, planetary evolution, oceanography and archaeology.
