Rate My Professor Jahmour Givans

Givans specializes in theoretical cosmology, developing analytical models, cosmological simulations, and computational tools to improve the extraction of cosmological parameters from observables like the Lyman-α forest, cosmic microwave background lensing, and galaxy clustering. His research addresses fundamental questions about dark energy, neutrino masses, and tests of the Lambda-CDM model using data from upcoming Stage IV surveys. He contributes to key collaborations including the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Lyman-α working group, and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope detector working group. He is a founding member of the DESI Weekly Research Forum organizing committee since 2020 and holds memberships in the American Physical Society, National Society of Black Physicists, and Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science. Notable publications include "Non-linearities in the Lyman-α forest and the one-loop power spectrum from BOSS" (2022), "Simulating image coaddition with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope" (2024), "The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 maps" (2025), and "The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Power Spectra, Likelihoods and ΛCDM Parameters" (2025).
