Professor
Particle Theory and Cosmology Group
Department of Physics
Tohoku University

Research Interest:
Particle physics (beyond the standard model), Particle cosmology (inflation, dark matter, baryogenesis, etc.)

- I would like to understand how the Universe was born and evolved into the present state, namely, how inflation occurred, how the universe was reheated after inflation, how the dark matter as well as the baryon asymmetry were created, whether there is large non-Gaussianity in the density perturbations or not. These issues cannot be answered without knowledge about the physics at very high energies. So I am also interested in physics beyond the standard model, and the interplay between the cosmology and particle physics.
