  • Publications

My field of expertise is theoretical cosmology and astrophysics. I work on the origin of large scale structure in the Universe, on the general theory of relativity and  on the nature of dark matter and dark energy. My most recent book, The Perfect Theory, is a biography of General Relativity.
