Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of New Hampshire with a passion for early universe cosmology and promoting equity in physics and astronomy. She focuses on inflation, reheating, and the axion as a dark matter candidate, blending ideas from condensed matter and particle physics with cosmology.
Her research involves concepts from General Relativity, quantum field theory, and astrophysics at various length scales. Driven by observables, she believes theory should be practical and loves working with Lagrangians. Additionally, she explores social epistemology and the impact of excluding Black and indigenous individuals from science.
