Philip Bull

Philip Bull is a Reader in Cosmology at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, University of Manchester. His research focuses on mapping the large-scale structure of the Universe using optical and radio telescopes, with an emphasis on gravitational physics and cosmic acceleration. He is involved in several key projects, including the HERA and MeerKLASS surveys, which study the redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen. Bull has also contributed to the SKA Observatory and various collaborations in theoretical and observational cosmology. He is the principal investigator of the MapItAll project, which develops Bayesian inference tools for 21cm cosmology. Additionally, he has been active in the open source community, contributing to Ubuntu and GNOME projects.

Philip Bull is a Reader in Cosmology at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, focusing on theoretical cosmology, dark energy, and general relativity. His research explores the implications of dark energy on late-time cosmology and investigates the use of 21 cm intensity mapping to probe large-scale structure. He has contributed to the development of cosmological models using data from surveys like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA). His work also addresses challenges in foreground subtraction and the detection of the 21 cm signal during the epoch of reionization. Bull's research emphasizes the interplay between fundamental physics and observational cosmology.
