Roberto Trotta is the Lockyer Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society at the Astrophysics Department of the University of Oxford and a Junior Fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford. He has worked on the problem of constraining exotic physics with cosmic microwave background anisotropies and is interested in several aspects of observational cosmology and astroparticle physics, in particular in relation with dark matter and dark energy. His recent research focuses on statistical issues in cosmology.
