Bryce Cousins - Assistant Researcher
I am an assistant researcher for the Institute of Gravitation and the Cosmos. I am studying methods to constrain cosmological parameters using gravitational waves and am working with multi-messenger astrophysics groups such as IGC's AMON, the SCiMMA project, and SNEWS.
I have been working with the PSU LIGO group since November 2019. I was also an HPC Engineer with PSU's Institute for Computational and Data Sciences working on cyberinfrastructure for the GWave computing cluster. I completed degrees in Physics and Astrophysics at Indiana University and performed research in extragalactic astronomy and string cosmology. For up-to-date publications, see Google Scholar or ORCID.
