Naim Goksel Karacayli

Naim Goksel Karacayli is a Postdoctoral Scholar at The Ohio State University. His research focuses on improving cosmological measurements using advanced techniques applied to large-scale data sets. He completed his Ph.D. in 2021 at Yale University under the supervision of Nikhil Padmanabhan, with a dissertation titled "Improving the Cosmic Statistics of Neutral Hydrogen."

Education:

• Ph.D. in Astrophysics, Yale University, 2021 (Advisor: Nikhil Padmanabhan)

Research Interests: Dr. Karacayli's work spans cosmology and astrophysics, with a focus on enhancing precision in cosmological data analysis. His contributions include developing tidal reconstruction for low-redshift 21-cm intensity mapping surveys (e.g., CHIME and HIRAX) and optimal estimators for Lyman-alpha Forest spectra. These methods address challenges in recovering large-scale structure signals and analyzing intergalactic medium properties, with implications for dark matter, neutrino mass constraints, and reionization history.

Advising & Grants: No formal advisees or grants are listed, though his research leverages collaborations with major cosmological surveys. His work contributes to foundational efforts in cosmological data interpretation.
