Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Huterer is an authority in the study of Dark Energy, a form of energy which is thought to be responsible for the acceleration of the Universe. Since its discovery in 1998, he has made important contributions to deciphering the physical nature of Dark Energy using both theory and observations. In Germany, Professor Huterer explores robust consistency tests of cosmic acceleration and systematic errors in Dark Energy measurements to study whether the acceleration is caused by a new energy form or possible breakdown of Einstein's General Relativity on large scales.
