Physics Prof. Daniel Baumann: Enhancing Cosmology Research
Daniel Baumann is the Chee-Chun Leung Distinguished Chair Professor in NTU’s Department of Physics and the new Director of the Leung Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (LeCosPA). On his office desk lies a beach ball, covered with red, blue, green and yellow spots. Prof. Baumann explains that the different colors represent differences in the intensity of light emitted 13.8 billion years ago, when the Universe first became transparent to light. The image on the beach ball---based on data collected by NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)---is the first snapshot of inhomogeneities in the early universe. “Ultimately, these fluctuations grew into all the structures we see around us. It is an amazing story!”
