Klaus Honscheid, Professor of Physics, talks about dark energy, dark matter, and his work on the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). He discusses the universe’s accelerating expansion, the unknowns of dark energy, and how working with cosmology has impacted his view on human life and history. Honscheid recently delivered the 16th Annual Biard Lecture, hosted by Ohio State’s Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics. Honscheid outlined his extensive contributions to DESI, and the questions these contributions are helping scientists answer about the universe.
