FOM grant for observing the Big Bang
Prof. Diederik Roest belongs to a national consortium on theoretical cosmology that has been awarded a 2.2 million euro `Vrije programma' grant by FOM. Their programme Observing the Big Bang: the Quantum Universe and its Imprint on the Sky will focus on observational signatures of the Big Bang. It aims to provide a theoretical underpinning of the spectacular data that is coming in, both from the old cosmic microwave background as well as from the present large-scale structure of the Universe.
The research group of Roest is part of the Quantum Gravity group of the Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity.
