My research is in the interdisciplinary fields of quantum gravity, quantum information, and quantum many-body physics. I am interested in understanding the properties of quantum gravity by developing and applying the technique of the conformal bootstrap, a technique that originated in quantum many-body physics. I am also pioneering approaches that apply quantum gravity to discover and understand universal phenomena in quantum many-body physics. Finally, I am also working on the application of numerical methods in these fields.

Message

I ultimately aim to elucidate the true nature of the universe and new phenomena in quantum many-body systems through interdisciplinary approaches. In my field of high energy theory, opportunities to lead a research lab at such a young age are almost nonexistent. This rare opportunity became a reality because of the Inamori Frontier Program to seek talents irrespective of their field of expertise, and I aim to fully leverage it to realize a unique research group and research outcomes.
