This Presidential Young Investigator award will support theoretical research at the boundary of high-energy particle physics and cosmology. A solution to the puzzle of what constitutes the "missing mass" in galactic halos may come from the fundamental theories of particle physics. These theories also make predictions as to the scale and amplitude of deviations from uniformity in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. This outstanding young theoretician will give her attention to these problems, in hope of contributing to their solution.

这个总统青年研究员奖将支持高能粒子物理和宇宙学边界的理论研究。解开星系晕中“缺失质量”之谜的答案可能来自粒子物理学的基本理论。这些理论还预测了宇宙微波背景辐射中偏离均匀性的尺度和幅度。这位杰出的年轻理论家将关注这些问题，并希望为解决这些问题做出贡献。
