RICHER, Harvey – Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of British Columbia Harvey Richer has applied the most advanced optical telescopes in space and on the ground in the detection and characterization of stars in the oldest stellar systems. From these observations he has provided fundamental estimates of the age of the Universe, the density of dark matter, and the dynamics and formation of galaxies and globular clusters.
