Clarence L. Chang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. He obtained his PhD from Stanford University in 2005. His research interests focus on observational cosmology with a particular emphasis on developing new superconducting technology for new experiments. He is part of the joint Chicago/Argonne superconducting detector development collaboration aimed at developing and building the focal plane for the upcoming South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G) experiment. This focal plane will consist of 15,000 polarization-sensitive detectors, enabling the South Pole Telescope to observe 2,500 square degrees with unprecedented sensitivity. The SPT-3G aims to explore fundamental physics questions related to inflation, dark energy, and the cosmic neutrino background.
