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 received 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 physics using observations of cosmic 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.
I am the currently the co-lead of Cosmology with Higher-Order Statistics key project (DR1-KP-GC-6) of Galaxy Clustering Science Working Group (GC-SWG) of Euclid Consortium. We are preparing for the joint analysis of 2- and 2-point statistics of galaxy clustering measurements of first data release of Euclid survey. My group at LAPTh currently includes two post-doctoral researchers, Marina Cagliari and Zucheng Gao. We have regular master’s students who join us for a 4-5 months internship every year.
