McWilliams Research Collaborations
Carnegie Mellon's physics faculty hold leadership roles in multiple large sky surveys, perform and conduct theoretical studies covering a wide range of cosmological and astrophysical topics. Additionally, the McWilliams Center has recently moved its computing cluster, Vera, to the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, which provides high-performance computing resources on a variety of scales and works closely with our scientists.
The Center has major involvements in some of the most exciting projects in cosmology and particle physics:
