Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “Finding the Cosmic Puzzle’s Missing Pieces,” a look at how the fields of astronomy and subatomic physics are working in tandem to shed light on the darkest parts of the…
On large scales the Universe is well described by a cosmological model where matter primarily comprises cold dark matter (CDM), a single collision-less particle species with negligible primordial thermal dispersion.…
I will discuss how causality can be used to place bounds on higher derivative corrections to Einstein Maxwell theory. Scattering probe photons off of charged shock waves, we obtain new constraints on the Wilson…
The Gaia astrometric survey has delivered a detailed “close-up” of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, by measuring precise 3D positions and velocities for over a billion stars.
Observations of the large-angular-scale autocorrelation function and power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over the last 30 years have consistently provided hints that our standard LCDM cosmological…

In 1982, while a grad student at Penn, my advisor and I wrote a paper that has since become very famous. We helped to invent a new theory describing the very beginning of the Universe. The resulting “Cosmic Inflation…
