Cora Dvorkin

Cora Dvorkin is a Professor of Physics at Harvard University, affiliated with the Department of Physics. Her research focuses on theoretical cosmology, particularly dark matter, light relics, and the physics of the early universe. She has contributed to the study of dark matter-baryon scattering using cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure data, and has developed methods to probe dark matter substructure through gravitational lensing. Dvorkin has also explored machine learning applications in dark matter detection and identified new production channels for dark matter. She is a member of the CMB-S4 collaboration and has worked on inflationary models and reionization signals. Her work has been recognized with awards such as the 2019 DOE Early Career award and the 2018 Scientist of the year title by the Harvard Foundation.

Cora Dvorkin is a professor at Harvard University specializing in cosmology. Her research focuses on understanding the early universe through cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and their implications for inflationary models. She has contributed significantly to the analysis of CMB data from experiments such as BICEP2 and Keck Array, exploring primordial non-Gaussianity and constraints on primordial gravitational waves. Her work also includes forecasting the science potential of future CMB experiments like CMB-S4 and CORE, emphasizing the role of CMB polarization in probing cosmic origins. Dvorkin's research integrates theoretical and observational approaches to address fundamental questions in cosmology.
