Gravitational lensing and the outer solar system
Professor Bernstein's research is focused on the use of gravitational lensing, the deflection of light by gravity as predicted by General Relativity. Another area of research is discovery of planets beyond Neptune in our own solar system. Student projects will typically involve analyses of sky survey images using Python or other numerical methods. Professor Bernstein will be on sabbatical (and not advising new undergraduates) until Fall 2025.
