Research Interests:  Cosmology and extragalactic astronomy with a mix of theoretical and observational methods; the development of the baryon acoustic oscillation method to measure the cosmic distance scale and study dark energy.

Professor Eisenstein...

Christopher Stubbs

Person

Research Interests:  Foundations of gravitational physics, searches for dark matter, and observational cosmology.
