Humankind has been attracted to the mystery of “the birth and evolution of the Universe” since ancient times. I have been also attracted to this mystery and eventually aspired to be a researcher. I obtained a doctoral degree in research on the accelerated expansion of the early Universe, considered to have occurred before the Big Bang. Thereafter, I have been working on small-scale astronomical objects such as stars and black holes that form after the Big Bang.

As a HAKUBI scientist, I will set a new research goal of revealing the birth of the first galaxies in the Universe, which is an important milestone in the evolution of the Universe. I will try to reproduce the formation of the first galaxies after the Big Bang in a computer in a “first-principle” way, by seamlessly implementing the latest understanding of small-scale astrophysical phenomena in various layers into galactic-scale hydrodynamics simulations. With the help of the simulations, I will aim to develop a unified picture of the first galaxy formation, from the large-scale structure of the universe to small-scale objects such as stars and black holes.
