Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Pober is an associate professor at Brown University with 11 years of experience advancing 21 cm cosmology—developing data-science and radio-astronomy techniques to detect neutral hydrogen from the early universe while probing galaxy formation and cosmology. Trained at UC Berkeley and Cambridge, he blends rigorous theoretical astrophysics with hands-on instrumentation and analysis, translating complex radio data into constraints on early-universe physics. His trajectory from NSF postdoctoral fellowships to a faculty role reflects sustained contributions to both method development and scientific interpretation. Based in Providence, he pairs deep academic scholarship with practical pipeline-building, often tackling the messy signal-processing problems that make faint cosmological signals observable.
