My scientific goal is to recognize the whole history of the Universe in the astronomical aspect. In especially, my research focuses on FIRST STARS, historic milestones which mark a turning point of the cosmic evolution. I am trying to uncover mystery-shrouded properties of such the first-generation of stars by using theoretical, numerical, and observational approaches.
