Short Introduction

In the Universe, there are many exotic objects such as black holes from which light cannot escape due to strong gravity, and neutron stars which cause an explosion as bright as a whole galaxy. These celestial objects may seem distant entities beyond our understanding. While my first impressions were a similar one, at university I realized that physics is a powerful tool for understanding them. Since that time, I have been passionate about astrophysics and enjoyed studying various astrophysical phenomena. In particular, my research interests lie in the physics of cosmic explosions which are probably produced by black holes and neutron stars. Interestingly, recent observations have discovered more and more cosmic explosions but their nature is still a big mystery.

In the Hakubi project, taking into account the ongoing progress of observations, my research project aims to establish a new theoretical framework to analyze cosmic explosive phenomena. Through systematic analyses of transients detected so far, I will elucidate their origin and explosion mechanism.
