American astrophysicist
Norman C. Jarosik is a US astrophysicist . He has worked on the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) whose observations of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) have provided significant insights into cosmology .
Jarosik studied physics at the State University of New York in Buffalo , receiving his doctorate in 1986.[ 1] After two years at Bell Laboratories he began work at Princeton University , where as of 2018 he holds the position of Senior Research Physicist/Lecturer.[ 2]
At Princeton, Jarosik specializes in measurements of CMBR from both ground-based and high-altitude probes. He was a member of the WMAP science team where he worked on the design, construction and testing of the microwave radiometer systems and contributed to the calibration and analysis of flight data.[ 1] He is also involved with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope .[ 3]
Jarosik was awarded the 2018 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics together with Charles L. Bennett , Gary Hinshaw , Lyman Page Jr., David Spergel and the WMAP research team.[ 4] The Prize was $3,000,000 split amongst the researchers.[ 5] [ 6] Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber stated that Jarosik and his team's "Research has transformed our understanding of the age, shape, and evolution of the universe."[ 5]
