Research Interests
|
|
|
I develop the evolution theory of our universe. My interests lie from its beginning (inflationary era) till current dark energy universe which expands with acceleration. My main purpose is to formulate the viable and consistent alternative to Einstein gravity in order to resolve one of the most fundamental puzzles of modern cosmology: why and how the universe accelerates? Study of current universe should clarify its future: if it will expand eternally or its evolution will be finished in singularity.
