Observational cosmology is currently in its "Golden Ages'' and is providing us with a wealth of data. New observational windows to explore the structure of the Universe are opening up. In comparison, our knowledge of the physics of the very early universe has lagged behind. Cosmologists are still working in terms of the paradigm which was established in the 1980s. The main goal of our research is to make use of the recent progress in superstring theory to provide improved paradigm for early universe cosmology, and to explore their observational consequences.

观测宇宙学目前正处于“黄金时代”，为我们提供了丰富的数据。探索宇宙结构的新观测窗口正在打开。相比之下，我们对早期宇宙物理学的认识就落后了。宇宙学家仍然在20世纪80年代建立的范式中工作。我们的主要研究目标是利用超弦理论的最新进展为早期宇宙学提供改进的范式，并探索其观测结果。
