About
Kirit Karkare is an Assistant Professor at Boston University's Department of Physics, part of the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on experimental cosmology, including Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements and Line Intensity Mapping (LIM) using millimeter-wave instrumentation. He leads the BU Experimental Cosmology Lab, collaborating with initiatives like BICEP/Keck, SPT-SLIM, SuperSpec, and CMB-S4.
Education: Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Harvard University (2017), B.S. in Physics from California Institute of Technology (2011).
Research emphasizes building instruments for telescopes at extreme sites (e.g., South Pole Station) to study early universe physics and inflationary B-mode signals. Projects include Fourier Transform Spectroscopy, beam mapping, and cryogenic telescope design. The lab seeks students/postdocs to advance these efforts.
No explicit scientific awards listed, but active in high-impact collaborations. Advising and grants details are implicit in lab operations and instrumentation projects.
Labs/Teams: BU Cosmology Group, BICEP/Keck Collaboration, part of global CMB/LIM networks.
