Dark matter and dark energy drive the growth of our Universe, but the true nature of this strange "dark Universe" is still a mystery to scientists. Join us to hear Dr. Will Percival from the University of Waterloo speak about the Euclid satellite, due to launch in July 2023. Euclid will attempt to map out and explore our Universe, and help us to understand dark matter and dark energy like never before!
Will Percival is an observational cosmologist, and is the Director of the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on the properties of the Universe on the largest scales, using huge galaxy surveys to study the distribution of galaxies around our Universe. As well as being a primary science coordinator for Euclid, he is heavily involved in the eBOSS and DESI astronomical surveys.
The new WCA-KPL Astronomy Talk series takes place on the last Wednesday of each month, and is jointly organized by the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics and KPL. Attendance is free and open to anyone, although we request that you register in advance.
