Center for Cosmology and Astrophysics

Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology

The Center for Cosmology and Astrophysics (CCA) at GTIIT explores the universe’s fundamental nature through large-scale structure studies, galaxy surveys, and multi-wavelength observations.

Our research integrates Cosmic Microwave Background data with large-scale galaxy surveys to understand cosmic evolution from primordial fluctuations to modern structure formation.

We work across observational cosmology, astroparticle physics, and cosmic magnetic fields using radio, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet data.
