Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) have provided significant insights into cosmology
.

Jarosik studied physics at the

Bell Laboratories he began work at Princeton University, where as of 2018 he holds the position of Senior Research Physicist/Lecturer.[2]

At Princeton, Jarosik specializes in measurements of CMBR from both ground-based and high-altitude probes. He was a member of the WMAP science team where he worked on the design, construction and testing of the microwave radiometer systems and contributed to the calibration and analysis of flight data.[1] He is also involved with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope.[3]

Awards

Jarosik was awarded the 2018 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics together with Charles L. Bennett, Gary Hinshaw, Lyman Page Jr., David Spergel and the WMAP research team.[4] The Prize was $3,000,000 split amongst the researchers.[5][6] Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber stated that Jarosik and his team's "Research has transformed our understanding of the age, shape, and evolution of the universe."[5]
