Principal Investigator
Dr. Kevin Bandura
Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering,Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy
Dr. Bandura's research interests lie in uncovering the mysteries of the universe, with a particular focus on gaining a deeper understanding of Dark Energy, which is the term used to describe the force behind the accelerated expansion of our cosmos. This pursuit has driven him to concentrate on constructing wide-field survey Radio Astronomy instruments, like CHIME, to enhance our comprehension of the universe.
