David Alonso

David Alonso is an Associate Professor of Cosmology at the University of Oxford's Department of Physics. He is affiliated with the Beecroft Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology and the Rubin-LSST collaboration. Previously, he held a STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship at Cardiff University before returning to Oxford. His research focuses on extracting fundamental physics insights from large astronomical datasets, particularly studying Dark Energy and the early Universe's expansion through collaborations like the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and the Simons Observatory. Notable contributions include analyzing Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data and gravitational wave imprints.

Education: PhD in Theoretical Physics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, postdoctoral work at the University of Oxford, and roles as Tutor of Astrophysics at Christ Church. Research interests span cosmology, astrophysics, and theoretical physics. Awards include the STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship.

• Labs/Teams: Beecroft Institute, Rubin-LSST, Simons Observatory
• Key Projects: CMB analysis, Dark Energy studies, gravitational wave correlations

Publications focus on statistical methods for cosmological data, CMB power spectra, cosmic shear, and dark matter constraints. His work bridges theoretical models with observational datasets from major collaborations.
