The Symphony of the Universe - Dr Eva-Maria Mueller

About

From its fiery beginnings to the vast cosmic web threading through space today, the Universe has evolved through cycles of expansion, cooling, and transformation. Over billions of years, matter gathered, stars burned and fell silent, and space itself continued to stretch to a changing tempo. As structure emerged, another influence began to take the lead: dark energy, driving the Universes expansion ever faster and altering its rhythm in ways we are only beginning to understand.
This talk follows the themes that shape our cosmic story, exploring the rise of structure, the fading of light, and the mysterious acceleration driven by dark energy all presented in a way that is engaging for adults and children alike.

Dr Eva-Maria Mueller is an Ernest Rutherford Fellow and lecturer at the University of Sussex, exploring the large-scale structure of the Universe and the mysterious force known as dark energy. She previously held research fellowships at the University of Portsmouth and the University of Oxford, and earned her PhD from Cornell University. Passionate about sharing the wonders of the cosmos, Eva-Maria brings the story of the Universe to life for audiences of all ages.
