SPHEREx
SPHEREx is NASA latest Astrophysics Explorer mission. It will conduct an unprecedented all-sky spectroscopic survey and directly address three main science goals: the origin and destiny of our Universe; the origin of life outside the Solar System, and the origin and evolution of galaxies. I am SPHEREx Project Scientist. [SPHEREx]

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA's next flagship observatory, i.e. the next Hubble Space Telescope. It is designed to settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. I lead the Project Infrastructure Team (~Science Team) focused on Cosmology with the High Latitude Imaging Survey. [Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, Roman High Latitude Survey Cosmology team]

Spider
Spider is a balloon borne observatory designed to probe the epoch of Inflation through measurements of the cosmic microwave background polarization on the largest angular scales. [Site]
Prime Focus Spectrograph
PFS is the spectroscopic part of the SuMIRe project. SuMIRe aims at elucidating the nature of dark matter and dark energy via overlapping imaging and spectroscopy on the Subaru telescope. [Site]
Euclid
Euclid is a ESA led mission designed to study "dark energy", the hypothesized cause of the Universe's accelerated expansion. In January 2013 NASA joined the mission. The Euclid Consortium is an international body of over 1,000 members who will oversee development of the instruments, manage science operations and analyze data. [Site]
Past collaborations
Planck
Planck was a joint ESA/NASA mission to study the birth of the universe through measurements of the cosmic microwave background. The Planck collaboration published its final results in 2018. [Site]

WMAP
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) is a NASA Explorer mission that launched June 2001 to make fundamental measurements of cosmology. WMAP has been stunningly successful. I had the privilege to involved with the team from 2006 to 2009. [Site]
Archeops
The Archeops experiment aimed at measuring the cosmic background radiation on a large fraction of the sky. To do so and avoid atmospheric turbulence, the whole apparatus was placed on a gondola below a helium balloon that reached 40 km. [Site]
