Research Description

The era of gravitational wave astronomy and cosmology began with the first detection of gravitational waves in 2015. While our understanding of the structure of the universe has been built through observations of light, mysteries such as the existence of dark matter remain unsolved. However, gravitational wave observations offer a unique opportunity for exploring our universe farther and deeply. To achieve this, advancing gravitational wave observations across a wide range of frequencies is crucial. Recently, I have been researching the theoretical aspects of detecting high-frequency gravitational waves (above 10kHz) and aiming to explore new physics through gravitational wave observations.
