Professor David Burke
Opportunities for rotation research projects in experimental cosmology are available for the fall and winter quarters. These include analysis of existing data from optical telescopes and/or participation in R&D for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. The scientific goals are measurements of cosmological parameters through the use of gravitational lensing techniques. These projects can lead to continued work through the summer, and to development of thesis topics.
