We are aiming at opening up new frontiers of particle physics by first principle calculations. In particular, we apply matrix model formulations of superstring theory to investigate the beginning of the universe and the interior structure of blackholes. We also extend the lattice formulation of quantum chromodynamics to the finite density regime to explore extreme states of matter.
