Shedding light on the physical nature of dark matter and dark energy, but also investigating the cosmological effects of massive neutrinos is the major motivation for my current research.

The weak gravitational lensing effect of the cosmic large-scale structure is very sensitive to the growth of structure in the Universe and hence to the evolution of these dark species.

Those kinds of weak lensing observations require increasingly larger surveys and I have been working with data from two such surveys, i.e., CFHTLS and KiDS. Here at the Kavli IPMU I am especially looking forward to exploiting the statistical power of HSC.
