Professor Lloyd Knox joined the faculty at the University of California, Davis in 2001. His research activities in the field of cosmology include the development of data analysis methods, the analysis and interpretation of data, and the calculation of observable consequences of models, which motivates future observations. With over 100,000 citations and more than 200 publications, Professor Knox has significantly influenced observational projects and contributed to the establishment of the "Lambda CDM" cosmological paradigm, making precise determinations regarding the age of the Universe. He has also contributed to the detection of clustering properties in the far-infrared background and has advised federal funding agencies in supporting research on dark energy. His notable works include a guide on solving the Hubble tension, co-authored with Marius Millea, that has been extensively cited. He is a member of several collaborations, including the South Pole Telescope and the CMB-S4 projects. His current research interests encompass Hubble tension, the cosmological neutrino background, testing the Lambda CDM model, and searching for primordial gravitational waves.
