Astrophysicist at KIPAC, Stanford University

I study the physics of galaxy formation and cosmology using numerical simulations and machine learning. Currently, I focus on simulating galaxy populations across diverse observable quantities, exploring a high-dimensional space of possible formation and evolution scenarios. This approach yields statistically robust insights into the observed Universe! I am also very much interested in all AI, machine learning, and statistical methods.

Previously, I was a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. I earned my doctorate at Nagoya University, where I developed unsupervised machine learning techniques to study galaxy evolution. My master’s research focused on solving inverse problems in astrophysics, particularly for imaging surveys and Faraday tomography.

My CV is here.
