The work will involve both astronomical observation and simulation. The observational part entails modeling the direction-dependent errors of LOFAR (a radio telescope) in observing the 21-cm signal coming from the epoch of reionization of the universe (almost 12 billion years ago). The simulation part entails simulating cosmological hydrogen using 21cmFAST, a semi-numerical code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
