I am an associate professor at RESCEU, University of Tokyo.
I have worked on astrophysics including:
gravitational waves from compact binary mergers,
electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational-wave events, the origin of elements,
gamma-ray bursts, and evolution of binary stars.
I received a PhD in Physics from Kyoto University in 2014
under the supervision of Prof. Takashi Nakamura and Prof. Masaru Shibata,
with a thesis focused on a numerical relativity simulation of binary
neutron star mergers and their multi-messenger signatures. I worked at Hebrew University of
Jerusalem from 2014 to 2016. I was a Flatiron research fellow at CCA at Simons Foundation in 2017, and a Lyman Spitzer Jr. fellow at Princeton University from 2017 to 2019.
