New group members join the SIBELIUS/APRIORI project

The research group welcomes one postdoc, Dr. Gábor Rácz and one PhD student, M.Sc. Jenni Häkkinen, who have both joined the group to work on SIBELIUS/APRIORI related research projects.

Dr. Gábor Rácz joins us from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, where he has worked as a NASA fellow. Gábor’s primary research interests include large-scale cosmological simulations with a particular focus on non-standard models beyond the ΛCDM standard model.

M.Sc. Jenni Häkkinen joins us from within the University of Helsinki, and she just previously finished her Master thesis in which she studied the gravitational wave power spectrum generated in cosmological phase transitions. Jenni’s PhD thesis work will involve simulating the present and future evolution of the Local group of galaxies.
