Andrew Pontzen is a cosmologist whose award-winning research with simulations sheds light on the nature of dark matter, dark energy and the very early universe.

In his debut book, "The Universe In a Box: Simulations and the Quest to Code the Cosmos," he offers a fascinating window into the world of cosmology and the pioneering efforts of scientists like himself.
