About | Cosmology

The cosmology group at the University of Auckland works on understanding the predictions of different models of the Big Bang and astrophysical models and testing them against observations.

We are involved with the LISA mission and the Vera C Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

Current research interests include:

The observational consequences of different models of the inflationary phase in the early universe
Nonlinear dynamics in the post-inflationary universe, gravitational waves and oscillons
Axion (ultra-light) dark matter
Gravitational wave physics
Multiverse cosmology and fundamental physics
