Chi Nguyen

Chi Nguyen is a Researcher in the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). They specialize in astrophysical instrumentation and observational cosmology, focusing on projects like the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment (CIBER) and SPHEREx. Their work involves analyzing extragalactic background light, developing advanced infrared detectors, and calibrating space-based instruments.

Research interests include studying the cosmic infrared background radiation, intra-halo light in galaxies, and improving observational techniques for large-scale structure formation. Nguyen has contributed to rocket-borne experiments and the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, advancing our understanding of black holes and cosmic structures.

Publications highlight expertise in instrument calibration (e.g., SPHEREx focal plane), data analysis for intensity mapping, and polarization measurements of zodiacal light. Their work bridges theoretical cosmology with applied instrumentation development, addressing challenges in precision astrophysical measurements.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials. Collaborative projects with the CIBER and SPHEREx teams suggest involvement in large-scale astronomical initiatives.
