This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 in funding to Kenyon College from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The award supports Professor John T. Giblin, Jr.'s research on the non-linear universe, with a focus on precision numerical cosmology and fundamental physics. Key research activities include probing high-energy physics through numerical simulations to predict the consequences of different models, developing cutting-edge computational tools to study particle physics in the early universe, and investigating the detailed physics of reheating after inflation and how nonlinear processes may contribute to our understanding of dark matter, the Hubble tension, and dark energy. This work will train undergraduate students and bring these topics to high schools through physics classroom outreach, aligning with the NSF's broader impacts criteria.
