ALL ABOUT ME
I received Ph.D. in physics from Kyoto University
in March 2006. When I was in Kyoto, I worked
on braneworld cosmology. In April 2006, I
moved to McGill University as a postdoc. Then,
I studied string cosmology. In April 2008, I
became a postdoc at Kavli IPMU, University of
Tokyo, where I initiated a study of anisotropic
inflation motivated by supergravity. In October 2008, I moved to Durham University as a research associate. There, I worked on holographic superconductors. In October 2010, I moved to Tufts University as a research associate. I initiated a study of bubble nucleation and also tried to apply Gauge/Gravity duality to cosmology. In October 2013, I moved to University of Cape Town as a postdoc. I initiated a study of quantum entanglement in the Multiverse. In October 2014, I became an Ikerbasque Junior at the university of the Basque Country. I studied the effects of quantum entanglement with other universes on the Cosmic Microwave Background. In April 2018, I moved to Osaka University as an assistant professor. I try to find a way to observe the quantum mechanical origin of the Universe where the effects of the quantum entanglement with other universes should be encoded. In September, I moved to Kyushu University as an associate professor.
