Research Field

Research Subject

Evolution of physical and chemical structures in planetary system formation disks

Current Research

My researches have been focused on star and planet formation processes, especially chemical evolution from molecular clouds to protostellar envelopes, protoplanetary disks, and exoplanetary atmospheres, from both theoretical and observational points of view. Here is the main theme of my studies until now. "Snowline" is the common keyword of these studies: (1) Chemical structures of protoplanetary disks and possibility to locate the position of the water snowline using spectroscopic observations (2) Relationship between the chemical structure of exoplanetary atmospheres and protoplanetary disks - Elemental composition ratios and planet formation environments (3) Chemical diversities in protostellar sources: X-ray-induced and cosmic-ray-induced chemistry of water and related molecules
