Kenny Lau

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Physics working on experimental Cosmology at the California Institute of Technology. My research focuses on the measurement of degree-scale B-mode polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), and I am working in the BICEP/Keck Collaboration and CMB-S4 experiment for this observation.

Our collaboration is running BICEP3 and BICEP Array, two small aperture telescopes scanning ≈ 1.5% of the sky at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station, to obtain high precision and multiple frequency CMB polarization maps to search for inflation signals. I contribute to the instrument development, operation and data analysis of these telescopes.

In 2023 I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Prior to that I did my master's and undergraduate studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
