Institute for Computational Cosmology
About the ICC
The Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) is a leading international centre for research into the origin and evolution of the Universe at Durham University.
We address some of the most fundamental questions in science: What were the first objects in the Universe? How do galaxies form? What is the nature of the dark matter and dark energy? Where does the large-scale structure of the universe come from? What is the fate of the Universe?
The ICC is part of the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics and interacts closely with the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy and the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation in the Department of Physics.
We offer both PhD and MSc postgraduate studentships.
In November 2016, the ICC moved into the brand new Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics building, designed by the world renowned Studio Daniel Libeskind. The new building now houses all three astronomy groups in the Department of Physics.
