PIRSA:09100213

Theoretical models for cosmology – from standard to exotic (e.g. cosmic strings and monopoles). “Quantum creation” of multiple universes out of nothing; eternal inflation and the anthropic selection of a world that would ultimately become hospitable to life.
Meet a Scientist - Dr. Bernd Schroers

Bernd Schroers Heriot-Watt University
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100191
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Mathematical aspects of modern theories of elementary particles and gravitation. Replacing the notion of particles with fundamental abstract fields (magnetic monopoles, vortices and Skyrmions) in an attempt to approach a formulation for quantum gravity.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Herman Verlinde

Herman Verlinde Princeton University
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100194
High Energy Physics
Many aspects of string theory, ranging from its mathematical structure and various formulations, to possible implications for black holes and cosmology. Using string phenomenology to connect theory with reality, i.e. string mathematics with elementary particle physics.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Neal Weiner

Neal Weiner New York University (NYU)
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100187
High Energy Physics

Astrophysics
Physics beyond the standard model: theories of elementary particles with extra space dimensions (large, small, warped and flat); supersymmetry; grand unification; dark matter; inflation and dark energy; as well as relationships between the different subjects.
Meet a Scientist - Dr. Ghazal Geshnizjani

Ghazal Geshnizjani Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

PIRSA:09100193
Astrophysics
String- and M-theory inspired scenarios for the cosmology of the early universe. Replacing the unphysical Big Bang-like beginning of our universe with bouncing scenarios of accelerated expansion followed by familiar evolution.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Robert Brandenberger

Robert Brandenberger McGill University - Department of Physics
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100197
Astrophysics
Cosmology as a natural meeting ground for fundamental theory (e.g. superstring theory or quantum gravity) and observations. Exploring how seeds laid down in the very early universe developed into the large scale structure we observe in the universe today.

PIRSA:09100186
High Energy Physics

Astrophysics
What, exactly, happened around the time of the Big Bang? Exploring new models inspired by superstring theory and supergravity, e.g. ones in which we live on “branes” that collide with a “big bang”. Satellite experiments to test such models.
Meet a Scientist - Dr. Olivier Dore

Olivier Dore National Aeronautics and Space Administration
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100188
Astrophysics
The origin and evolution of the largest observable structures in the universe (much larger than entire galaxies); understanding why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Observational techniques: cosmic microwave background, gravitational lensing and gravity waves.
