Scott Dodelson

Scott Dodelson is a Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on Astrophysics & Cosmology, with an emphasis on analyzing data from cosmic surveys to explore fundamental physics. He is involved in major collaborations such as the Dark Energy Survey and the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration. Dodelson has authored and co-authored several publications, including the second edition of 'Modern Cosmology' with Fabian Schmidt. His work addresses key questions in cosmology, including the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and inflation.

Scott Dodelson is a cosmologist at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in cosmology. His research focuses on understanding the universe's large-scale structure, dark matter, and dark energy through observational data and theoretical models. He has contributed to major surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Dark Energy Survey, analyzing cosmic microwave background anisotropies, galaxy clustering, and weak lensing. His work explores the implications of sterile neutrinos as dark matter candidates and the role of neutrino physics in cosmological constraints. Dodelson's research also includes the development of cosmological parameter estimation tools like CosmoSIS and studies on inflation through CMB polarization.
