Geraint Lewis conducts a wide array of research focused on the evolution of the universe and the influence of dark energy and dark matter on its ultimate fate. His work employs gravitational lensing phenomena to investigate the nature and distribution of dark matter, using individual stars to magnify and study galaxies. His research also includes studies on Galactic cannibalism, where small dwarf galaxies are torn apart by larger galaxies such as the Milky Way and Andromeda. To conduct this research, Geraint utilizes telescopes around the globe, including the 10-meter Keck telescope in Hawaii, to map observable signs of tidal disruptions, thus providing significant insights into how large galaxies have evolved over time. Geraint’s research is a key component of the Faculty of Science's efforts in understanding the universe. He has engaged in long-term collaborations with notable institutions such as the Strasbourg Observatory and the University of Cambridge, focusing on galactic archaeology and gravitational lensing.
