Peter Freeman

Associate Teaching Professor, Director of the Undergraduate Program

Bio

I received an A.B. in physics from the University of California in 1989, and a Ph.D. in astronomy and astrophysics from the University of Chicago in 1997. Prior to working at Carnegie Mellon, I was a scientific programmer for the Chandra X-ray Telescope mission, specializing in the development and integration of advanced data analysis methods. I have been at 바카라 온라인 추천 since 2004, working closely with faculty and students at both 바카라 온라인 추천 and Pitt on astronomical data analysis problems.

Specific Research Interests

I work in the interdisciplinary area of astrostatistics. My interest is in developing and applying advanced data analysis methods to complex and/or high-dimensional astronomical datasets. I have worked on source detection algorithms, cosmic microwave background mapping, photometric redshift estimation, methods of quantifying galaxy morphology, etc. I have also advised or co-advised numerous astrostatistical analysis projects.
