Ray Carlberg is one of Canada's most internationally renowned and innovative astrophysicists. He has made seminal contributions to understanding why spiral patterns occur in galactic disks, the origins of elliptical galaxies, the distribution of cold dark matter in gravitationally bound and dynamically relaxed "halos", made an important modern measurement of the dark matter content of the universe and recently made the first high quality measurement that describes the mysterious dark energy that causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. He utilizes both theoretical and observational techniques, often within extremely effective collaborations he has formed and led.
