Yuichi Harikane, Honorary Research Associate / Assistant Professor

Yuichi Harikane
I am anÌýHonorary Research Associate at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø, and (from 1 June 2020)Ìý Assistant Professor at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of Tokyo.

I am an observer, and myÌýprincipal scientific interests are galaxy formation/evolution and cosmic reionization. I am studying high redshift galaxies using both photometric and spectroscopic data taken by large telescopes such as Subaru, Hubble, and ALMA. Particularly, I have been working on the Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam survey, a large optical photometric survey with the Subaru telescope. Using the large Subaru data, I am studying the statistical properties of high redshift galaxies, such as clustering properties, to understand stellar and dark matter mass assemblies in high redshift universe. I am also interested in chemical evolution of galaxies across the cosmic history, and investigating interstellar medium properties using metal emission lines probed with theÌýSpitzer Space Telescope and ALMA.Ìý

In the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø group led by Prof. Richard Ellis, I will work on understandingÌýthe role of galaxies in cosmic reionization. I will study galaxies at the epoch of reionization with VLT and Keck, and investigate ionization states and AGN activity in these galaxies. I will also work to prepare the first JWST observations to understand reionization and the first galaxy formation.Ìý
