Role

  • Deputy Head of Department, Physics & Astronomy

The physics of the Big Bang. By studying the very early Universe we can test fundamental theories of physics, sometimes to destruction. I am currently working on the dynamics and observational signatures of strings in cosmology, and on the origin of the Dark Energy in the Universe.
