Laura Newburgh is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Yale University, affiliated with the Department of Physics and Wright Lab. Her research focuses on experimental cosmology, including projects like the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), the Hydrogen Intensity Mapping and Real-time Analysis eXperiment (HIRAX), and the Simons Observatory. She specializes in observational studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and 21cm cosmology to probe Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and cosmic inflation.
Education: Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University (2010), postdoctoral fellowships at Princeton University and the University of Toronto. Current roles include leading the Newburgh Lab, which develops instruments for cosmological surveys. Awards include the NSF Career Award (2018) and collaborative prizes like the Buchalter Prize (2025) and Berkeley Prize (2021).
Her work bridges hardware, software, and data analysis, emphasizing novel calibration methods (e.g., drone-based beam mapping). The Newburgh Lab also supports educational initiatives like the Pathways to Science program, fostering student engagement in radio astronomy.
