Funded Activity Summary

Illuminating the dark universe. This project aims to measure and explain the dark side of the universe, by performing new theoretical analyses of two groundbreaking surveys. Dark energy and dark matter are amongst the most profound puzzles facing fundamental physics. The Dark Energy Survey expects to discover approximately 3000 supernovae, and using The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument will measure distances to 30 million galaxies. This project will combine these findings to determine whether dark energy changes with time, narrow the search for a quantum theory of gravity, and complete the standard model of particle physics by measuring the mass of the neutrino, a subatomic particle. This will substantially advance our understanding of the physics of our Universe, inspiring the next generation of innovators.
