I work in theoretical elementary particle physics, high-energy astrophysics, and cosmology, trying to understand the nature of dark matter, the origin of ordinary matter, and the physics of the early universe. In addition, I am interested in physics beyond the standard model and neutrino physics. Furthermore, I study cosmic rays, gamma rays from astrophysical sources, and the magnetic fields in the universe. In addition to my affiliation with IPMU, I hold an appointment as Professor of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA.  I also serve as an Associate Editor of the APS journal "Reviews of Modern Physics".  I am a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Simons Fellow in Theoretical Physics.
