Cosmology Initiative
The TAP Cosmology Initiative brings together theory, computation and data driven astrophysicists to tackle some of the most pressing problems in Cosmology and Fundamental Physics, including the Nature of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, using next generation computational simulations, codes and observational surveys.
Researching how the evolution of dark matter and dark energy drive the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes and creating detailed simulations of galaxies helps to understand the nature of dark matter and the physics of galaxy evolution.

Affiliated Research Groups
The Behroozi Group
Researching how the evolution of dark matter and dark energy drive the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes using machine learning.
The Besla Group
We create detailed simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and its neighbors and utilize large volume cosmological simulations in order to understand the nature of dark matter and the physics of galaxy evolution.
Rozo: Astrophysics & Cosmology
Our group is concerned with a wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological phenomena and their connection to outstanding problems in fundamental physics. As such, our interests stretch from the earliest moments after the Big Bang all the way through to the present-day universe and beyond, spanning the widest possible range of energies, distances, densities, pressures, and temperatures.
