Professor Sievers is very active in a number of the most pressing problems in cosmology, with emphasis on using high performance computing to derive as much information as possible out of observational data. His research focus has been on the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background data, theory and observations of galaxy clusters while his current research is central to modern cosmology: the "Epoch of Reionization", intensity mapping via neutral hydrogen, and searches for fast radio bursts. Notably, Professor Sievers is the Principal Investigator for two of the 21 cm neutral hydrogen experiments with over $20 M in funding commitments.

Sievers教授在宇宙学中许多最紧迫的问题上非常活跃，重点是使用高性能计算从观测数据中获得尽可能多的信息。他的研究重点是宇宙微波背景数据的分析，星系团的理论和观测，而他目前的研究是现代宇宙学的核心：“再电离时代”，通过中性氢的强度映射，以及快速射电暴的搜索。值得注意的是，Sievers教授是两个21 cm中性氢实验的首席研究员，资金承诺超过2000万美元。
