Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmmanuel Fonseca is a radio astronomer and tenure-track assistant professor in physics and astronomy with nine years of experience probing fundamental physics using pulsars and fast radio bursts. He builds and programs instrument backends and analysis pipelines—work honed while developing CHIME’s pulsar/FRB systems at McGill—and applies those skills to algorithm development, precision timing, and polarization studies. A PhD alumnus of UBC, he blends observational campaigns with hands-on instrumentation, data calibration, and student mentorship across undergraduate and graduate levels. His background includes NASA Goddard data-analysis projects and award-winning research activities, reflecting a rare mix of experimental engineering, software development, and astrophysical insight.
