A departmental team led by Prof. Marc Kamionkowski has been chosen to receive a 2018 Johns Hopkins Discovery Award for their proposal, “In Search of the Cosmic Dark Sector.”

The award provides grants to cross-divisional teams, which comprise of faculty and non-faculty members from at least two schools of the university, who are “poised to arrive at important discoveries or creative works.”

Their proposal was one of 30 selected from nearly 200 considered by faculty from across the university.
