Brief Introduction of Research

  • My research interest is on observations of high redshift objects at near infrared wavelengths and the development of instruments for the purpose, especially adaptive optics (AO). AO is a technology to correct wavefront distortion to achieve diffraction-limited performance. In the case of astronomical observations, the cause of the disturbance is terrestrial atmospheric turbulence. The diffraction-limited resolution of large telescopes, for example, Subaru and TMT can be only realized by using AO. To expand understanding of the evolution history of the early universe, I am currently in charge of the development of the adaptive secondary mirror for the Subaru Telescope and the production of the primary mirror for TMT project.
