Profile

Project researcher (JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (PD)) at Astronomical Institute, Tohoku University , studying physics related to dark matter.

Research Interests

• Dark matter
• Particle physics
• Astrophysics
• Cosmology
• Machine learning

I am interested in dark matter physics, the physics of the unknown matter that makes up most of the matter in the universe. In particular, I work on estimating dark matter density profiles in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, dark-matter-dominated objects around the Milky Way.

To address the dark matter problem, I pursue interdisciplinary research spanning particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. I am also interested in applying machine learning to accelerate data analysis in these fields.
