C r a i g   T y l e r - scholarship

My field of specialization is particle astrophysics and cosmology, theory and phenomenology. My work has included supermassive black holes, dark matter, ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos, primordial black holes, and astronomy and cosmology education.

I am also the affiliate director of the Colorado Space Grant Consortium at Fort Lewis College, a NASA grant. Here is a recent presentation on our space grant activity, presented to the Consortium in Boulder, Sept 2009.

Colored dots indicate where enough dark matter has accumulated to seed a galaxy; in this computer simulation, galaxies form in filaments and clusters, as they do in the real universe.)
