Jason Gallicchio

Jason Gallicchio is an Associate Professor of Physics, specializing in experimental cosmology and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. His work focuses on the origin and evolution of the universe, particularly polarization studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the development of novel methods to test quantum entanglement, including improvements to Bell-type experiments.

Gallicchio earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a PhD in Physics from Harvard University. His research leverages astronomical observations to address foundational questions in quantum theory, such as entanglement and setting-independence.

His publications often involve collaborations with researchers like Andrew S. Friedman and David I. Kaiser, targeting interdisciplinary intersections between cosmology, quantum physics, and astrophysics. While no specific awards or grants are mentioned in the provided text, his roles at institutions like the South Pole Telescope highlight significant contributions to experimental physics.
