Kenta Kiuchi

Dr. Kenta Kiuchi serves as Group Leader of the Computational Relativistic Astrophysics division at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, Germany, where he leads research on neutron star mergers and related phenomena in relativistic astrophysics.

His primary research domains include:

• Computational Astrophysics
• Relativistic Astrophysics
• Gravitational Wave Astronomy
• Neutron Star Physics
• Numerical Relativity
• High-Energy Astrophysics

Dr. Kiuchi's work employs advanced computational simulations to model the dynamics of merging neutron stars—critical cosmic events that generate gravitational waves and synthesize heavy elements. His research bridges theoretical astrophysics and numerical relativity to explore extreme gravitational environments. Based at the institute's Potsdam campus (Am Mühlenberg 1, 14476), he is contactable via email at kenta.kiuchi@aei.mpg.de and phone at +49 331 567-7320.
