Dr Zvonimir Vlah
College Research Associate
Natural Sciences (Physical)
Cosmology
I am a theoretical physicist working primarily on cosmology and galaxy clustering, with broad interests ranging from gravity and dark matter physics to galaxy formation and gravitational waves. I am an expert in the formation of large scale structure of the Universe. My work consists mainly of cutting edge analytic modelling and calculations in cosmological structure formation using field theory methods.
I was born in the north of Croatia, where I lived until finishing the master's degree in Physics at the University of Zagreb.
I obtained a PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Zürich in Switzerland in 2014. I was a research fellow at the KIPAC at SLAC & Stanford University and, afterwards, at the Theory group at CERN in Genéva.
Currently, I hold a senior fellowship at the KICC in Cambridge.
Besides physics, my other interests range from other natural sciences and economics to sociology, history, philosophy, and religion. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, skiing and exploring.

Dr Jenny York
College Research Associate
Natural Science (Biological)
Behavioural flexibility allows animals to be responsive to their environment and to exert control over their social and physical worlds. My research uses multiple approaches to examine both how behavioural flexibility relates to underlying physiology, and to its adaptive function. From behavioural adaptations such as male advertisement song, to manipulative cuckoo calls and elaborate animal architecture, the questions I investigate are inspired by being a curious naturalist at heart. I am currently especially interested in the role that behavioural flexibility, and phenotypic plasticity more broadly, might play in the origins and maintenance of biodiversity. I mainly investigate these questions in wild birds including the white-browed sparrow weavers of the Kalahari desert, interactions between brood parasitic common cuckoos and their reed warbler hosts in the lush green Cambridgeshire fens, and most recently, the interactions between Diederik cuckoos and the African weaverbirds.
