HiPERCAM: A high-speed camera for the study of rapid variability in the Universe (HiPERCAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

When stars die, they form white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. These are key objects in astrophysics as their extreme gravities, densities and pressures allow us to test our theories of fundamental physics at the limits of their predictive powers. One of the best ways of studying white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes is via their variations in brightness. Unfortunately, due to the sma ...

Long-Run Effects of Education Interventions: Evidence from Randomized Trials (EDUCATION-LONG-RUN)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

The vast majority of published research on the impact of school interventions has examined their effects on short-run outcomes, primarily test scores. While important, a possibly deeper question of interest to society is the impact of such interventions on long-run life outcomes. This is a critical question because the ultimate goal of education is to improve lifetime well-being. Recent research h ...
