Funded Activity Summary

Uncovering New Physics with Advances in the Cosmic Microwave Background. This project aims to measure how quickly the Universe is expanding by looking at images of the Big Bang's primordial fireball that will be made by two new astronomical surveys. These improved measurements are expected to test our current understanding of cosmology, with the potential to discover new constituents or new physics in the Universe. Answering these questions about the Universe will have far-reaching consequences for our knowledge of fundamental physics. The project will also train students and researchers in data science and petabyte-scale data processing, contributing to a highly skilled STEM workforce.
