Professor Carlos Frenk is Ogden Professor of Fundamental Physics at Durham University and has been the founding Director of the Institute for Computational Cosmology at the University of Durham. Prof. Frenk is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking work in the field of cosmology, particularly in the study of the large-scale structure of the universe, dark matter, and the formation of galaxies. His research has significantly shaped contemporary cosmological theories, with a notable focus on the influential Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile, a model describing the distribution of dark matter in galactic halos. Furthermore, he co-founded the Virgo Consortium for Cosmological Supercomputing, a world-leading collaboration on cosmological simulations. Among his numerous honors, Prof. Frenk has been awarded the Royal Astronomical Society's Gold Medal and elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Join us for an enlightening talk as Prof. Carlos Frenk shares his insights and discoveries, providing an overview on the complexities of the universe. Don't miss the opportunity to engage with one of the foremost minds in cosmology.
