Hi! I'm Yong Sheng Yap (葉勇陞), a PhD student at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). I have a broad interest in all things cosmology, but I spend most of my time attempting to leverage cosmological observables to gain insight into fundamental physics. 

Research Interests

  • Cosmological probes of fundamental physics
  • Inflation and early-universe physics
  • Large-scale structure (LSS) theory 

Teaching

  • Part-II Supervisor for Principles of Quantum Mechanics, 2024 - 2025
  • Part-III Examples Class Lead for Field Theory in Cosmology, 2025 - Present

Outreach

  • FrogAsia SPACE Series
  • Former International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) team leader for Malaysia
