Jeff Zheng ’11: Research Update

haoxuanzheng.jpgHaoxuan (Jeff) Zheng started research in Ted Bunn’s research group during his freshman year and continued during the summer afterwards.  He examined theoretical models of dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that is causing the expansion of the Universe to accelerate.  He used observations of supernovae, the microwave background radiation, and other observations to see what limits we can place on the physical properties of dark energy.
