Tomonori Totani (戸谷 友則, Totani Tomonori, born November 21, 1971) is a Japanese astronomer, professor at University of Tokyo. He is a director of FastSound Project at Subaru Telescope, Hawaii. He specializes in cosmology, galaxy formation, and high-energy astrophysics.
Early life and career
[edit]Born in Nagoya, Aichi on November 17, 1971. He received his B.S. (1994) and Ph.D. (1998) from the University of Tokyo, under the supervision of Katsuhiki Sato.[1]
After working at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (1996-2003) and Princeton University, (2001-2003) he became an assistant professor at Kyoto University in 2003 and an associate professor in 2007. In 2013, he was appointed as a professor at the University of Tokyo.[2]
His most recent work has been on the origin of life.[3] His earlier esearch topics have included "Research topics include dark matter, dark energy, galaxy formation and evolution, supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, active galactic nuclei, and cosmic rays" [1]
