Pasadena, CA 91109Liju works in the field of observational cosmology. He specializes in ground-based instrumentation development, system integration, remote deployment, calibration and data analysis. His PhD research focused on studying cosmic dawn in the universe using 30-200 MHz observations of globally averaged 21 cm HI emission. He is currently a JPL Postdoctoral Fellow working on an intensity mapping experiment targeting redshifted carbon monoxide line emission from distant galaxies using the recently fielded COMAP experiment.
