Outreach lecture to teachers

By Ian | Published: July 21, 2011

I gave a lecture to secondary school teachers this week as part of the Goldsmith’s Company’s Science for Society Course on astrophysics. Having heard about the Big Bang model and some of its problems from my colleague Dr David Mulryne, I was given the task of outlining how the inflationary paradigm tries to solve these [...]

I am a theoretical cosmologist at Queen Mary, University of London. My work focuses on the early universe and in particular inflationary models.
More info and my CV

My recent work has included creating numerical simulations of cosmological perturbations during inflation. My code, called Pyflation, is open source and available for download.
