Zeeshan Ahmed

Zeeshan Ahmed is Associate Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at Stanford University and SLAC, heading CMB research in the Fundamental Physics Directorate. His work develops ultra-low-noise detectors using superconducting quantum sensors for cosmic microwave background studies, with current focus on inflation paradigms and large-scale structure growth.

Key research areas:

• Next-generation CMB instrumentation
• Digital signal processing
• Cosmic inflation evidence
• Weak lensing techniques

Recipient of DOE Early Career Award for novel signal transduction methods, he oversees SLAC's Detector Microfabrication Facility development for quantum sensors.
