Andreas J. Albrecht is a theoretical physicist and cosmologist who is a professor and chair of the physics department at the University of California, Davis.
[1] He is one of the founders of inflationary cosmology[2] and studies the formation of the early universe, cosmic structure, and dark energy.
He later carried out post-doctoral research at University of Texas, Austin and at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Albrecht later worked at Fermilab from 1987 to 1992 and subsequently taught at Imperial College, London from 1992 to 1998.
Along with João Magueijo, Albrecht independently proposed a model of varying speed of light cosmology[4][5] which posits that the speed of light in the early universe was a trillion times faster in order to explain the horizon problem of cosmology.
