Origins of our Universe

目前的提议将研究我们宇宙的起源，这是21世纪物理学的重大挑战之一。因此，它将利用物理学许多领域的见解和发现，从最高能量的弦理论和粒子物理到x射线、光学和射电天文学。该研究项目将增加我们对科学的一个基本分支的理解——将其扩展到新的方向——从而大大提高澳大利亚宇宙学和理论物理研究的质量。与我们的国际合作相一致，这项奖学金产生的工作将加强澳大利亚在国际宇宙学、天体粒子和理论物理领域的存在。

The present proposal will study the origins of our Universe, which is one of the grand challenges of 21st century physics. As such it will utilise insights and discoveries in many areas of physics, ranging from string theory and particle physics at the highest energies, to x-ray, optical and radio astronomy. The research program will add to our understanding of a fundamental branch of science - extending it in new directions - thereby considerably boosting the quality of cosmology and theoretical physics research in Australia. In concert with our international collaborations, work arising from this fellowship will enhance the Australian presence on the international cosmology, astro-particle, and theoretical physics scene.
