Hello! My name is Willem Elbers and I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University in England. My research is in physical cosmology, with a focus on using the large-scale structure of the Universe to advance our understanding of fundamental physics. I rely on analytical and numerical methods, large supercomputer simulations, and novel statistical methods like topological data analysis to learn more about neutrinos, dark matter, and galaxy formation.

I’m a member of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration, where I am co-chair of the Cosmological Parameter Estimation working group. I’m also a core member of the FLAMINGO project, a contributor to the SWIFT simulation code, and a member of the Virgo and EUCLID consortia.
