Overview
I am a gravitational-wave astrophysicist. I am involved in the development of fast processing methods for signals obtained from gravitational wave observations, using machine learning techniques. I am also working to reveal the population properties of merging black holes and neutron stars by gravitaitnoal-wave event catalogue. I am in a joint post with the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) at the University of Tokyo.
