Felipe Menanteau

Felipe Menanteau is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Illinois and a Senior Research Scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). His primary affiliations include collaborations with the Dark Energy Survey (DES), South Pole Telescope (SPT), and Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) projects.

His research focuses on cosmology, galaxy clusters, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Key areas include weak lensing, CMB lensing, galaxy cluster mass calibration, and the study of large-scale structure. He contributes to major observational efforts such as the SPT-3G polarization measurements and DES galaxy cluster surveys.

Recent work emphasizes cosmological constraints from CMB data, interplay between dark matter and baryonic physics, and high-precision measurements of the Hubble constant. His articles explore topics like supernova calibration, polarization foreground modeling, and cross-correlation analyses between surveys.

Menanteau has co-authored over 400 publications and collaborates internationally with institutions like Fermilab, NASA, and European observatories. His research bridges observational cosmology with theoretical models to address fundamental questions about structure formation and dark sector physics.
