Research lines and guidelines for PhD students
Our research focuses on the exploitation of ongoing Cosmological Experiments measuring Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies (CMB) and Large Scale Structure (LSS) for investigating the early Universe and the dark cosmological components. We are directly involved in the ongoing and preparatory work related to the EBEX, LSPE sub-orbital CMB experiments, as well as the Planck (CMB, operating) and Euclid (LSS, planned for the next decade) satellites. The group is currently made by Carlo Baccigalupi, Sam Leach, Francesca Perrotta (Staff), Pawel Bielevicz, Matteo Martinelli, Francesco Paci, Jun-Qing Xia (Post-Docs), Claudia Antolini, Yabebal Fantaye, Alessandro Renzi (PhD students).
