Relativistic Astrophysics
and Cosmology

Relativistic Astrophysics and Cosmology focuses on the theoretical and computational modeling, and experimental studies of some of the most extreme environments in the universe, ranging from the Big Bang to compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes. Our group’s work probes the action of fundamental physics in the cosmos, spanning topics such as strong field gravity, cosmic origins of structure and matter, relativistic plasmas, high-energy density laboratory physics and dark matter detection.
