I have been studying the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the Universe, as well as the origin of supermassive black holes, using numerical simulations. Recently, I’m also working on the formation of giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way.

I am a postdoctoral researcher. I am interested in the physical and chemical processes around the stellar surface and the circumstellar envelope of evolved giants. Now I am constructing the numerical code for MHD wind models from evolved giants including the effects of stellar pulsation and turbulent pressure.
