Research

At Auckland, we work to understand the origin and evolution of the Universe, from the Big Bang through to the present day and into the infinite future. This crosses multiple fields: astronomy, particle physics and “theories of everything”, General Relativity and gravitational wave science, along with Bayesian statistical methods and large scale computation. 

• Testing inflationary models 
• Nonlinear dynamics in the early universe
• Dark matter
• Gravitational waves 
• Self-gravitating quantum mattter
• Multiverse cosmology
