Norman Jarosik
Norman C. Jarosik is an American physicist and astrophysicist who was involved in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), whose observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) provided significant new knowledge for cosmology.
Jarosik studied physics at the State University of New York in Buffalo , where he received his bachelor's degree and his doctorate in 1987. He then spent two years at Bell Laboratories and then at Princeton University , where he is a Senior Research Physicist and Lecturer , teaching electronics courses, among other things. He is involved in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope .
At Princeton he was involved in balloon experiments for CMB and observations from the ground as well as from satellites and in the development of the corresponding instruments (microwave radiometers and associated electronics) and in their calibration and evaluation of the measurement results. He was one of the developers of a pulsed NMR spectrometer for teaching purposes (TeachSpin) with Jonathan F. Reichert at Princeton .
For 2018 he received the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics with Charles L. Bennett , Gary Hinshaw , Lyman Page Jr., David Spergel and the WMAP team .
