Atsushi J. Nishizawa's page

I am an associate professor at the DX centre, Gifu Shotoku Gakuen University. The DX center is established in 2022 and we are going to promote the digital transformation inside and outside of the university. At the same time, we provide classes for undergrad students about data science and machine learning, especially focusing on the practical use case in society or industry.

I am also a visiting associate professor at Institute for Advanced Research, and KMI, Nagoya University. My expertise and interest lie in observational cosmology and astronomy, specifically in large-scale structure, gravitational lensing, galaxy evolution, cosmic microwave background and gravitational wave. Most of my research is based on theoretical work but I have long been involved in the HSC (Hyper Suprime Cam) which is a large imaging camera installed on the prime focus of the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. Recently, I am also interested in working on the Machine Learning method to predict the distance of galaxies with limited information. I believe in physics but at the same time am looking for various interesting applications of ML to astronomy and cosmology when physics is (seems to be) ineffective.
