Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJessica Muir is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Cincinnati and a theorist-data scientist focused on extracting robust constraints on dark energy and tests of gravity from large-scale structure surveys. With an 11-year research trajectory spanning a PhD from the University of Michigan, Marshall-funded study at Cambridge, and fellowships at KIPAC and Perimeter Institute, she blends deep analytic theory with advanced computational pipelines. A member of the Dark Energy Survey collaboration, she develops software and statistical methods to ensure cosmological inferences are both precise and unbiased, including treatments of neutrino mass and modified-gravity signatures. Currently working remotely from Perimeter Institute, she brings a rare combination of mathematical rigor, hands-on simulation expertise, and a track record of translating subtle theoretical questions into practical, data-driven tests.
