My research is targeted towards the study of the epoch of reionization (EoR) and its relation to astrophysical and cosmological parameters. This is strongly related to the observation of the 21 cm signal as well as present and future experiments such as SKA-low and LOFAR.
The Epoch of Reionization is the period when the first stars and galaxies formed, some 13 billion years ago. During this period ionizing light produced in these galaxies escaped into the medium inbetween the galaxies. This resulted in a gradual ionization and heating of the entire Universe.
