Monthly Spotlight
[Monthly Spotlight] is focusing on a researcher to introduce his/her research.
Using gravitational waves to reveal the beginning of the universe
Research Topic
Dark Matter Search with new astronomical observations and optical experiments
Thanks to recent developments of cosmic observation, it has been found that more than 80% of matter in our universe is composed by unknown DARK MATTER. Since Dark matter plays a central role in structure formation, an environment that human beings comfortably live would not be realized without dark matter. Combining new astronomical observations, optical experiments and theoretical research, I am exploring the nature of dark matter.
