About Me

I'm a theoretical scientist in Rikkyo University, Japan. I'm working to elucidate inflation, dark matter, and dark energy, a.k.a. the three mysteries of the universe, combining theory, observation, and numerical simulation. I have developed a computer simulator of inflation, STOchastic LAttice Simulation (STOLAS), to investigate the physics of the primordial black hole as a candidate for dark matter. I'm also interested in the theoretical framework of dynamical dark energy, and its observational signatures.

I'm from Saitama, Japan. I completed B.Sc. in Physics in 2012 and M.Sc. in Physics in 2014, and received Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Tokyo in March 2017.
