Team Description

Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University

With over 40,000 students and more than 9,000 employees, the University of Copenhagen is the largest institution of research and education in Denmark. The University is a self-governing unit under the state. It comprises six faculties and more than 100 departments and research centres.

The Niels Bohr Institute constitutes the Physics Department of Copenhagen University and is organised into 10 different research groups. One of them is the Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology group .

 

The Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology Group


The research of the group covers a wide range of topics in theoretical high energy physics and cosmology. General themes are: Gauge field theories, string theory, quantum gravity, particle astrophysics and theoretical cosmology. Specific research projects deal with the calculation of amplitudes in supersymmetric gauge theories, QCD, gravity and the standard model, holographic aspects of black holes, integrability in the AdS/CFT correspondence, AdS/CMT, causal dynamical triangulations, various applications of random matrices and physics of the Cosmic Microwave Background including the analysis of CMB data.
