(Participation in high energy physics): Task C, Particle physics and cosmology

Over the past year or so the research of our group has spanned many topics at the boundary of particle physics and cosmology. The major focus has been in the general areas of inflation, cosmological phase transitions, astrophysical constraints to particle physics theories, and dark matter/structure formation as it relates to particle physics. Narrative summaries of the research of the individual group members are given in this paper
