short description:
An introduction to space-time physics and the Big Bang theory
long description:
This course will help you understand the fundamental concepts that form the basics of our modern understanding of the universe.
You will learn how the universe was formed, the science behind it and the evidence given by modern observation and Astronomy.
The course is intended for people who have a basic knowledge of science but at the same time would like to grasp the key elements of modern cosmology.

description of :
Currently involved in research activities in cosmology and mathematical modelling.
Teacher's qualifications:
Doctor of Science in Cosmology, i.e. Theoretical High Energy Astrophysics (Tokyo Institute of Technology)
Dipl.-Phys. Univ. (Technical University of Munich)
Equivalent degree: MSc in Physics
Research topics undertaken cover black holes, cosmology, general relativity, gravitational waves and gravitational lensing.
Published work includes: "Gravitationally induced interference of gravitational waves by a massive object", Physical Review D54 (C.Baraldo, A.Hosoya, T.T.Nakamura).
's preferred teaching style:
I teach by way of live online lectures, using the voice and text chat as well as the drawing board feature of the online classroom. Questions by students are always welcome. "There is no such thing as a stupid question!"
