Jeremy Sakstein

I am a particle cosmologist with a keen interest in the interplay of fundamental physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. I spend much of my time developing and testing new theories that could potentially explain the mysterious observation at the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Much of my research focuses on different modifications of gravity that could drive the acceleration but hide in the solar system using screening mechanisms. These modifications elude our current experimental tests and I spend a lot of my time devising novel methods for searching for them using objects such as stars, galaxies, and black holes. I am also very interested in the question of why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe and spend some of my time investigating possible processes in the early universe that could have led to this difference.
