Azadeh Moradinezhad
I am a theoretical cosmologist, currently a CNRS Junior Professor (CPJ) at Laboratoire d’Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique (LAPTh). Prior to joining CNRS as a staff, I was a senior research associate at University of Geneva (Switzerland), a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University (USA), and a Tommalla post-doctoral fellow at University of Geneva (Switzerland). I recieved my PhD from The State University of New York at Buffalo (USA), and my bachelor’s degree from University of Tehran (Iran).
I am broadly interested in studying the origin, composition, and evolution of the universe by testing the theoretical models against high-precision cosmological data. The primary direction of my research has been testing fundamental phsyics using observations of cosmological large-scale structure (in particular galaxy clustering and line intensity mapping). More generally, I am interested in developing accurate theoretical models of large-scale structure observables and optimizing the analysis techniques to obtain high-precision constraints on fundamental physics; deciphering the origin of cosmic structure, elucidating the properties of neutrinos and light relics, and shedding light on the nature of dark matter and dark energy. More recently, I have also become interested in exploring application of machine learning techniques to parameter inference in cosmology. The full list of my research publications can be found in the following links.
I am an active member of Galaxy Clustering Science Working Group (GC-SWG) of Euclid Consortium. My involvement is primarily in constructing analysis pipeline for joint analysis of 2- and 2-point statitics of galaxy clustering.
