Welcome to the UCSB Experimental Cosmology Group! We are an experimental astrophysics group primarily focused on studies of the early universe and astrophysical applications of directed energy
We also have a very active education and outreach program
The Cosmology Group has a range of interests, spanning from the basic properties and evolution of the large scale structure in the Universe back to the initial fluctuations that seeded this structure
