    Professor Yin-Zhe Ma will give a lecture on the progress of modern cosmology over the past century. He will provide an overview of how measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, primordial elements, and galaxy distribution have improved our understanding of the hot big bang model of the universe. Professor Ma will also discuss current challenges in cosmology and the observational frontiers for the next decade, including where new physics may emerge. He obtained degrees from Nanjing University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Cambridge, and his research focuses on observational and theoretical cosmology.

    NOBEL SYMPOSIA SERIES

    Cosmology:
    A Golden Era
    Professor Yin-Zhe Ma
    Full Professor of Astrophysics,
    University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
    Member of Academy of Science of South Africa

    Tuesday, 18 October | 17:00-18:30


    Life Sciences Auditorium, University of the Western Cape

    ABSTRACT

    Cosmology, the understanding of the evolution of entire Universe, has


    progressed very fast in the past several decades with the advances
    of modern telescopes. I will give a brief overview of the modern
    cosmology of the last century and highlight its phenomenal successes
    and distinctive challenges. I will explain how and why the measurements
    of cosmic microwave background radiation, the relics of the primordial
    elements, and the galaxy distribution on large scales can improve our
    understanding of the hot big bang. Then I will also discuss its distinctive
    challenges, present the observational frontiers for this (next) decade of
    cosmology, highlighting where the new physics may possibly emerge.
    BIOGRAPHY
    Professor Yin-Zhe Ma obtained his
    Bachelor’s degree in Physics from Nanjing
    University, a master’s degree from the
    Institute of Theoretical Physics at the
    Chinese Academy of Sciences (supervisor:
    Prof. Rong-Gen Cai), and a Ph.D. degree
    in Astronomy from the University of
    Cambridge (supervisor: Prof. George
    Efstathiou FRS).
    His research focuses on observational
    and theoretical cosmology aimed at
    understanding the fundamental laws of the REGISTER
    Universe and uncovering the nature of dark
    energy and dark matter. He is currently https://airtable.com/shrBp9xFfBIVP3JXL
    a core member of the Square Kilometre
    Array (SKA) Science Working group, the
    Planck science team, Hydrogen Epoch
    Reionization Array (HERA), and the CMB
    Stage-4 experiment and LSST (Vera C.
    Rubin Observatory).

    Nobel in Africa is a STIAS Initiative in partnership with Stellenbosch University, under the auspices of the Nobel Foundation and the Royal Swedish
    Academy of Sciences with funding from the Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation. These Public Lectures are organised as part of the Nobel
    Symposium in Physics on Predictability in Science in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, the first in the Nobel in Africa – NOBEL SYMPOSIA Series.
