Cameron Liang is a researcher with nine years of experience applying statistical and numerical methods to large-scale scientific data, currently at the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, DC. He holds a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Chicago and has a track record of developing and publishing custom research codes, public pipelines, and MCMC tools used to analyze galaxy surveys and high-performance simulations. Cameron combines hands-on programming with experimental instrument experience—calibrating superconducting bolometers and processing South Pole Telescope observations—alongside teaching roles from planetarium lectures to undergraduate courses. He is particularly skilled at turning complex physical problems into reproducible computational workflows and was the first to map galactic atmospheres out to ~500 kpc, reflecting an ability to extract surprising insights from massive datasets.
