cosmologist
Studies the universe
A cosmologist is a scientist who studies the origin, structure, and evolution of the universe.
The field draws on physics, astronomy, and mathematics to address questions about the Big Bang, dark matter, and the ultimate fate of the cosmos.
Stephen Hawking was perhaps the most famous cosmologist of his generation.
