Research field: Cosmology, dark energy, diffuse cosmological background

Description of the research project:
Jonathan Sievers' research covers a range of topics, primarily in cosmology. These include cosmology in the 21cm band, both looking for the signature of dark energy (via HIRAX) and looking for the birth of the first stars in the universe. Others focus on the study of the cosmic diffuse background and on galaxy clusters, mainly via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. His research focuses on the development and application of new analysis techniques to complex data, trying to extract as much information as possible on the universe.
