Abstract　  

   I am very happy to have an opportunity to introduce my new lab. ‘Astrophysical Big Bang Laboratory’ established on 1st Apr. 2013 in RIKEN, Japan. Our group focuses on unveiling many mysteries surrounding astrophysical explosive phenomena such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe, and yet very little are known about their explosion mechanisms. These astrophysical big bangs continue to fascinate us with their unknown physics and puzzling astronomical phenomena (e.g. gravitational waves, r-process nucleosynthesis, particle acceleration, high-energy neutrinos, ultra-high energy cosmic rays, gamma-ray emission, etc). Through our theoretical and computational approaches, we strive to reveal the complete pictures of these violent explosions and provide state-of-the-art physical interpretations for current, cutting-edge observations as well as useful predictions for future observations by the next-generation astronomical observatories.
