T. Roeckmann THE HUNG DIEP View MoreProfessor Sievers is interested in a wide range of topics in cosmology, the study of the universe on the largest scales. As a postgraduate student he observed the Cosmic Microwave Background which is a relic light from the birth of the universe. He did this using the Cosmic Background Image, a special-purpose telescope that operated from high (> 5000m) in the Chilean Andes. He continued to study the CMB as a postdoctoral researcher in Toronto, along with galaxy clusters (both theory and observations), and gravitational waves. After a period in Princeton, he moved to UKZN, where he is studying the birth of the first generation of stars.
