David W. Hogg

David W. Hogg is Professor of Physics and Data Science at New York University's Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, with joint appointments at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics and the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie. His research focuses on observational cosmology, galactic astronomy, and exoplanet discovery, emphasizing the development of engineering systems for large-scale astrophysical projects.

Hogg's research bridges cosmology, galactic dynamics, and exoplanet science. He develops novel data analysis methods for astronomical datasets and pioneers citizen science initiatives like Astrometry.net to incorporate amateur astronomy data into scientific research. His work emphasizes open science practices, making algorithms, code, and research diaries publicly accessible.

Recent publications demonstrate his work on exoplanet detection in binary systems and computational methods for spectral data processing. His research consistently addresses fundamental astrophysical questions through innovative computational approaches.

Hogg actively mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in astrophysics and data science. He leads research groups exploring machine learning applications in astronomy and maintains collaborations with international institutions including the Max Planck Society.
