Farbod Hassani

Farbod Hassani is a Researcher in Cosmology at the University of Oslo, Norway, with a focus on dark energy, modified gravity, and large-scale structure. He holds a PhD from the University of Geneva (2020) and MSc/BSc degrees from Sharif University in Physics and Mathematics.

His research explores nonlinear cosmological dynamics using N-body simulations and effective field theory. Key areas include probing dark energy models, gravitational wave signatures from dark sector phenomena, and machine learning applications in cosmological datasets.

• Education:
  • PhD in Cosmology - University of Geneva (2016-2020)
  • MSc in Physics/Cosmology - Sharif University (2014-2016)
  • BSc in Physics & Pure Mathematics - Sharif University (2009-2014)

Recent work analyzes cosmic velocity fields, dark matter halo properties, and gravitational wave emission from domain walls. He contributes to the Euclid mission by simulating non-standard cosmologies. Hassani's studies bridge theoretical frameworks (e.g., k-essence, effective field theory) with observational probes like lensing and large-scale structure.

Lab affiliations include the Cosmology and Extragalactic Astronomy group at UiO. Current projects focus on instability mechanisms in dark energy models and relativistic N-body simulation techniques.
