Blake Sherwin, Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics in DAMTP, is one of eight University of Cambridge researchers sharing a total of €17 million in the European Research Council's (ERC) Consolidator Grants 2025 awards. The grants support mid-career researchers to carry out cutting-edge research projects lasting up to five years.
Blake's grant funded project will use the cosmic microwave background, the universe’s oldest light, as a 'backlight' to map where cosmic matter lies and how it moves. This will provide new insights into how the universe began and enable the research team to test ideas about how cosmic structure grew.
