RESEARCH

Gravity as a low-energy quantum effective field theory with an emphasize on theoretical consistency, quantum stability, embedding with a consistent high energy completion and relevance for cosmology and gravitational wave observations.

 

UV Completeness: Understanding the low-energy restrictions to the existence of a standard high energy completion and consequences to Cosmology, particle physics, BSM, dark matter, dark energy and gravitational waves. 

 

Cosmological Constant Problem: Understanding the effect from quantum vacuum energy on gravity and cosmology.


Early Universe Cosmology:Probing signatures of the Early Universe be it for inflation or its alternatives.

Dark Energy: What is the source of the late–time acceleration of the Universe?

 

Tests of Gravity: Using Gravitational Waves to probe gravity in conjunction with laboratory, Solar System, Astrophysical Cosmological tests and screening mechanisms.
