Galaxies host supermassive black holes at their centre. The central region of the galaxy which show strong activity is called Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Whereas most of the gases around the black hole fall into it with strong gravity, some gases are known to be blown away and escape from the black hole, against the gravity. This is called “AGN outflow”. It carries large kinetic energy from the black hole to the host galaxy, and is considered to control the physical/chemical evolution of the galaxy. My research topics are as follows: How the AGN outflow is launched and accelerated, how it travels across the galaxy, and how it affects to the galaxy evolution. I will answer these questions using both of the theoretical and observational methods.
