Seiji Fujimoto's research focuses on the formation and evolution of galaxies in the early universe, with the ultimate goal of uncovering how stars and black holes emerged. His group utilizes four key observational probes: high-redshift galaxies, supermassive black holes, gas and dust, and stellar explosions. They study these components in detail and develop and apply advanced multi-wavelength techniques, spanning optical and radio regimes, with extensive use of world-leading telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Fujimoto leads a wide range of observational programs and facilities, including a 300-hour JWST program called VENUS, dedicated to tracing the formation pathways of galaxies, black holes, and stellar explosions. His group is also actively involved in large international collaborations aimed at detecting the earliest emergence of stellar light, dust, and black hole activity in the universe.
