Simulating large-scale structure for models of cosmic acceleration /

Simulating Large Scale Structure for Models of Cosmic Acceleration explores alternative cosmological models and how we can learn from these as well as differentiate them from the standard cosmic model. The book also looks at the ways in which techniques can be used to accurately develop and test the...

520 3 |a Simulating Large Scale Structure for Models of Cosmic Acceleration explores alternative cosmological models and how we can learn from these as well as differentiate them from the standard cosmic model. The book also looks at the ways in which techniques can be used to accurately develop and test the model to produce new observations. This self-contained book provides a fundamental guide to researchers looking to enter the field of cosmological simulations. Postgraduate students will also find it of use as the need for numerical simulations and astronomical surveys increases. The book contains a significant amount of Professor Li's own research as well as assistance from other experts and collaborators in the field and will certainly encourage others to explore the ever-expanding world of cosmic acceleration.

545 |a Baojiu Li is an associate professor at the Institute for Computational Cosmology, Durham University. He received his undergraduate degree from Tsinghua University (China) in 2004, master's degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2006, and PhD from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Cambridge University in 2009. He was a Junior Research Fellow at Queens' College, Cambridge University between 2009 and 2011, before moving to a Lectureship at Durham University, where he became a senior lecturer in 2014 and reader (associate professor) in 2016. His main research interest lies in theoretical and numerical cosmology, including dark energy and dark matter, nonstandard gravity theories, large-scale structures of the universe, gravitational lensing, cosmological simulations, and numerical relativity.
