This award will support the research of Professor William H. Press, one postdoctoral fellow, and partial support for a graduate student, in the areas of cosmology, theoretical astrophysics, and computational theoretical physics, at Harvard University. Continuing investigations by this group include: three-dimensional computer simulations of fundamental fields that have been proposed as causing observed large scale structure; the theoretical development of future experimental and observational tests that might find, or rule out, additional scalar fields in gravity; the question of whether there are "natural" initial conditions for cosmological perturbations; some aspects of signal processing, e.g., for gravitational wave and dark matter experiments; computational algorithm development; and some other related problems.

该奖项将支持哈佛大学博士后 William H. Press 教授在宇宙学、理论天体物理学和计算理论物理学领域的研究，并部分支持一名研究生。 该小组的持续研究包括： 对已被认为导致观察到的大规模结构的基本场进行三维计算机模拟；未来实验和观测测试的理论发展可能会发现或排除重力中的额外标量场；宇宙扰动是否存在“自然”初始条件的问题；信号处理的某些方面，例如引力波和暗物质实验； 计算算法开发；以及其他一些相关问题。
