This thesis concerns two questions in bouncing cosmology, as addressed in the papers arXiv:1404.4364 and arXiv:1406.6049. In the first part of this thesis, we explore the possibility for several models of bouncing cosmology to produce a tensor-to-scalar ratio of the order of 0.2. We start by analyzing the matter bounce curvaton scenario and the matter-Ekpyrotic scenario, two models which use matter fields violating the Null Energy Condition at high energy. We then analyze the Horava-Lifshitz bounce, the f(T) bounce, and the Loop Quantum Cosmology bounce, three models which use modified gravity to avoid the singularity. We generally find that these matter bounce scenarios produce large amounts of primordial gravitational waves, but the tenso...
