Raphael Flauger

Raphael Flauger is Professor of Physics at UC San Diego specializing in theoretical cosmology, quantum field theory, and cosmic microwave background analysis. His research investigates primordial universe physics including cosmic inflation, gravitational waves, and dark matter signatures. He leads contributions to major CMB experiments including LiteBIRD and Simons Observatory.

Research bridges string theory with observational cosmology, developing theoretical frameworks for interpreting CMB data. Recent publications focus on inflationary model testing, ISM turbulence signatures, and next-generation CMB mission design.
