Research interests

 Quantum field theory and general relativity.  Recently I have been working on interacting quantum field theory in de Sitter spacetime, which is relevant to inflationary cosmology, a promising theory of very early Universe.  I am also interested in radiation processes in semi-classical quantum field theory.
