Observational effects of big and small structures in the Universe

The best model we have of the Universe only accounts for the nature of 5% of the Universe’s content, and predictions from this model are in increasing disagreement with observations. This project aims at identifying to what extent the structures of the universe – from tiny dark matter particles to huge galaxy clusters – can account for the disagreements as well as shed light on the nature of the unknown 95% of the content of the Universe. The grant will fund two PhD students and the recipient.
