Seiji Fujimoto

DAWN/INTERACTIONS Fellow

I am a DAWN / EU co-fund INTERACTIONS fellow based at the Cosmic Dawn Center. I received my BCs (2014), MSc (2016), and PhD (2019) degrees from the University of Tokyo, under the supervision of Prof. Masami Ouchi. The thesis title was “Demographics of Cold Universe with ALMA: From Inter-stellar and Circum-galactic Media to Cosmic Structures”. I carried out a large statistical study for the rest-frame far-infrared properties in high-redshift galaxies. After my PhD, I worked at the University of Waseda with Prof. Akio Inoue as an ALMA project researcher. I moved to Copenhagen in December 2019.

My research interest is the early Universe, including the topics of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and black holes, the structure formation, and the interplay between a galaxy and its environment.  I’m working in large international collaborations of e.g., “The ALMA Large Program to Investigate CII at Early Times (ALPINE)”,  “ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS)”,  and “Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP)”. I also work as one of the external collaborators in the cosmology group in Scuola Normale Superiore headed by Prof. Andrea Ferrara.
