Cosmic Dawn and Large-scale Structure with Intensity Mapping
The Cosmic Dawn and Reionization epochs remain the last frontiers in astrophysics and cosmology. Intensity Mapping has emerged as a promising tool to efficiently probe the Universe in three-dimensions by tomographic mapping the cosmic structures using spectral lines such as the redshifted 21cm, CO, [CII], Lya and other optical lines. The candidate will aim at exploring and establishing the potentials of Intensity Mapping by combining theoretical insights with new and well-targeted observational probes, simulated and analyzed with adequate statistical methods, with possible interface with instruments. I expect the NPP postdoctoral scholar to conduct independent research relevant to current and future potential NASA missions such as SPHEREx and CDIM. The candidate will have a Ph.D in Astrophysics or Physics with a strong background in astrophysics and cosmology.
