Dr. Carrol is currently a Senior Research Associate in Physics at Caltech. From 1999 to 2006 he was an assistant professor in the Physics Department at the University of Chicago. His research interests include a variety of topics in theoretical physics, especially including cosmology, field theory, and gravitation, or elementary physics more broadly. This is an especially exciting time for this kind of science; a flood of data and surprising observational results are revolutionizing cosmology, new experiments (from accelerators and elsewhere) are invigorating particle physics, and advances in string theory have brought it into closer contact with low-energy physics and gravitation. We live in a preposterous universe, and it's our job to make sense of it. We have asked Dr. Carroll to speak about dark matter and dark energy for his invited talk.
