Summer Centered: Nick Sweeney ’19

Astrophysics major Nick Sweeney ’19 is using mathematical models to replicate the ways galaxies clumped together in the early universe—and, hopefully, to learn more about the nature of dark matter as a result. 

Sweeney will work alongside Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy Daniel Grin and use novel dark matter models to describe the structure of the early universe thanks to funding from the Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center. "Summer Centered" is a series exploring our students' Center-funded summer work. Photo by Alexandra Iglesia '21.
