Assistant Professor

I am a theoretical physicist working on cosmology, particle physics, and gravity.
Research topics: Inflation, primordial gravitationa waves, axion dark matter, gravity in condensed matter systems, etc.
Research Content
We are now in the era of gravitational wave astronomy/cosmology. As the history of electromagnetic wave astronomy tells us, multi-frequency gravitational wave observations will be important to understand our universe. I am interested in inventing novel methods for detecting high-frequency gravitational waves around GHz with systems of condensed matter physics or quantum optics where quantumness often manifests. I am excited to push forward this interdisciplinary research area together with members of QUP.
