This is a most exciting period for cosmology, especially for scientists whose focus is the early universe. The James Webb Space Telescope and other advanced technologies are providing unprecedented new insights about the early universe, especially the emergence of the first stars and galaxies and the relationship between these formations and mysterious dark matter. Professor Julian Muñoz explains both the newest discoveries and the techiques he uses to investigate the very early universe.
Julian Muñoz is a theoretical cosmologist, working at the intersection of astrophysics and particle physics to investigate galaxy formation and dark-matter microphysics in the cosmic dawn when the first stars formed. He is an expert on the epochs of cosmic dawn and reionization, when the first stars in the universe formed.
