I work on cosmology and gravitation, with a focus on dark matter, dark energy, modified gravity, and their observational signatures.
Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics

01 / Research
A central challenge in modern cosmology is to understand the origin of the dark components of the Universe and the role of gravity on cosmic scales. My research addresses these questions from both theoretical and phenomenological perspectives.
02 / Teaching
Lecture Notes
in Cosmology
From the expanding Universe and its thermal history to cosmological perturbations, inflation and the cosmic microwave background.
The extended and updated notes are available on arXiv and form the basis of the forthcoming second Springer edition.
