Curriculum Vitae:
I am an associate professor of Tokyo University of Science.

Research interest:

The research of cosmology has now become a very exciting area with the development of observations. It is of interest to investigate

My main research interest is to reveal the physical phenomena in the early universe by mixing the theoretical predictions and the observational data. I would like to construct cosmological models which are most favoured from observations.

In particular I am interested in research areas related to cosmology and gravitation such as:
