• March 2018

Delia Perlov’s research interests are focused on the eternally inflating multiverse and touch on various aspects of cosmology, string theory, quantum field theory and general relativity. She got her MSC and Ph.D. from Tufts University and then spent several years working as a postdoctoral fellow, also at Tufts, where she now lectures on a part-time basis. Her first book, “ Cosmology for the Curious” (co-authored with Alex Vilenkin, 2017) aims to bring anyone with a cosmological sense of wonder and a facility with high school algebra up to date with modern cosmology. Her personal multiverse includes her husband and her three children. She loves playing the piano, yoga, drawing, and painting.
