Starting June 3, Godfrey Miller joins us from the University of Pennsylvania, where he is completing a PhD in Physics. Godfrey is studying Bayesian data analysis with R and data management with SQL; his thesis considers cosmology as a probe of fundamental physics. He has published articles in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics and in Physical Review. Godfrey was awarded Best Student Presentation at the Annual East Coast Gravity Meeting in 2012.
Godfrey graduated magna cum laude with an AB in Physics from Princeton University, where his senior thesis examined supermassive black holes and the domain wall hypothesis. For excellence in Physics, he received the Allan B. Shenstone Prize and the Kusaka Memorial Prize. Godfrey avidly reads both fiction and non-fiction, and he enjoys singing folk tunes with his wife. Their free time is happily compromised: they are proud parents of a 3 1/2 year-old daughter and 5 month-old son.
