Hooper Deanna C.
Description
University researcher at the University of Helsinki working on computational cosmology. Currently leading the LISA operations of the Finnish Cosmology Data Centre. My research focuses on developing tools to study gravitational waves produced by first order phase transitions. Also very interested in non-cold dark matter and the different cosmological tensions and their solutions. Previously I have worked on inflation models, neutrino mass forecasts, and spectral distortions. Involved in CORE, PLANCK, and LISA. Very active in science outreach.
