Grant: Canada 150 Research Chairs
McGill University
$628,382.00
Canada 150 Research Chair in Theoretical and Observational Cosmology
FY 2018-19
Summary
Professor Sievers is very active in a number of the most pressing problems in cosmology, with emphasis on using high performance computing to derive as much information as possible out of observational data. His research focus has been on the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background data, theory and observations of galaxy clusters while his current research is central to modern cosmology: the ""Epoch of Reionization"", intensity mapping via neutral hydrogen, and searches for fast radio bursts. Notably, Professor Sievers is the Principal Investigator for two of the 21 cm neutral hydrogen experiments with over $20 M in funding commitments.
