PhD Astronomy- Cosmology and Relativity

Queen Mary University of London

Cosmology is the study of the Universe as a whole. Its overall aim is to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos by addressing fundamental questions such as why the Universe is structured in the way that we observe, how did it develop into its current form, what are its basic constituents, and what will happen to it in the future. The Cosmology and Relativity Group has an international reputation for its work in theoretical and observational cosmology, cosmological relativity and gravitational wave science, and continues to play a leading role in advancing our understanding of the nature of the Universe. Our primary research interests span a wide range of topics in modern cosmology, from theories of inflation and dark energy, gravitational waves, relativistic predictions of observables, theoretical and observational studies of the large-scale structure of the Universe, and cosmological surveys with radio and optical telescopes.
