Research Interest:
Early universe (inflation, dark matter, dark energy, baryogenesis, etc.), and physics beyond the Standard Model
- I am interested in understanding how the universe was born and evolved to its present state, i.e. how inflation occurred, how the universe was reheated after inflation, how dark matter and baryon asymmetry were created, whether or not there are large non-Gaussianities in density perturbations, and so on. These questions can only be answered with knowledge of physics at very high energies. So I am not only interested in cosmology, but also in physics beyond the standard theory, the ultimate theory, and the interplay between cosmology and particle physics.
