Professor Carlos Frenk serves as the Ogden Professor in the Department of Physics and holds a professorship at Durham University's Institute for Computational Cosmology. His work focuses on advancing computational cosmology through large-scale simulations and theoretical modeling of cosmic structure formation.
His research spans extragalactic astronomy, cosmology, fluid dynamics, mathematical modeling, and supercomputer simulations. Key areas include dark matter halo formation, galaxy evolution within the ΛCDM framework, and the development of numerical techniques for cosmological modeling. Recent work addresses the S8 tension through the FLAMINGO project, MillenniumTNG simulations, and JWST-era galaxy formation studies.
Frenk's publications demonstrate consistent leadership in cosmological simulations (MillenniumTNG, FLAMINGO), dark matter research (substructure detection, neutrino effects), and observational cosmology (DESI survey analysis, JWST data interpretation). His collaborative work spans theoretical frameworks and observational validation, with applications to satellite galaxy systems, cosmic web structure, and early galaxy formation.
As principal investigator for major simulation projects and frequent collaborator on international surveys (DESI, JWST), Frenk maintains active research leadership. His work connects computational astrophysics with cutting-edge observational programs, addressing fundamental questions about cosmic structure formation across 20 orders of magnitude in mass scale.
