Lyman A. Page Jr., Ph.D.

Lyman A. Page Jr. received his B.A. in physics at Bowdoin College and his Ph.D. in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with thesis advisor Stephan S. Meyer. He has been at Princeton since 1991. His primary research is on measurements of the cosmic microwave background from ground-based, balloon-borne, and satellite platforms with high-electron-mobility transistor amplifiers, superconductor-Insulator-superconductor mixers, and bolometers. More recently he has begun work on an experiment to search for axionic dark matter.

Page is one of the original co-investigators on the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite, the founding director of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) project, and a founding member of the Simons Observatory. He currently serves on the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) advisory board for Gravity and the Extreme Universe.

Page is a 1994 Cottrell Scholar, an American Physical Society Fellow, a Member of the National Academy of Sciences, and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. His honors include the Marc Aaronson and Marcel Grossmann Awards, the Shaw and Breakthrough Prizes with the WMAP team, and the Gruber Prize.
