Investigations of the Cosmic Web at High Redshifts
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Central Lancashire
Department Name: Jeremiah Horrocks Institute
Abstract
This PhD programme will be concerned with the investigation of the cosmic web at redshifts z~1.0-2.5 using publicly-available datasets, mainly the SDSS, DR7QSO and DR12q quasar databases (and our derivatives such as Mgll and Fell databases) and the Planck CMB databases. A particular emphasis will be on the relation of the LQGs to the CMB.

| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | The purpose of the summer school was to provide an introduction to the current state of research in theoretical cosmology. It was attended by around 150 people, predominantly theoretical cosmology graduate students. I presented my poster, based on my observational research to date and associated journal publication, during an official session, and it remained on display for the rest of the week. It sparked some interesting conversations with theoreticians about the role of observations, inadvertent observational biases, and statistical analyses. |
