Research
Testing cosmological models using different techniques is the main focus of
Dr. Klypin's research. He is actively involved in developing new numerical
methods for cosmological simulations and using supercomputers to make accurate
theoretical predictions. He has published over 90 papers in refereed journals.
Dr. Klypin's main interests also include the large-scale structure of the
galactic distribution, the formation and structure of galaxies and galaxy
clusters, galactic models, and dark matter in galaxies.
Second-year graduate student Sebastian Trujillo is working with Dr. Klypin and
observational collaborators on evaluating the circular velocity function for
galaxies in the nearby Virgo cluster, sampling a significant number of objects
at low masses.
Teaching
Dr. Klypin teaches Cosmology, Galactic Structure, Stellar Dynamics, and
Introduction to Astronomy.
