John Carlstrom

John E. Carlstrom (born 1957) is an American astrophysicist, and Professor, Departments of Astronomy
and Astrophysics, and Physics, at the University of Chicago.[1]

He graduated from Vassar College with an A.B. in 1981, and from the University of California, Berkeley
with a Ph.D. in 1988.

Carlstrom specializes in measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background, and has led several
experiments, including the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Array, and the
South Pole Telescope.

He is also known for manufacturing the Gunn oscillators used at several millimeter and submillimeter
observatories, such as the BIMA array, the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory and the James Clerk
Maxwell Telescope. These oscillators produced the local oscillator signal for the observatorys' heterodyne
receivers.[2][3][4]

Awards
1998 MacArthur Fellows Program[5]
2004 Magellanic Gold Medal[6]
2006 Beatrice M. Tinsley Prize
2015 Gruber Prize in Cosmology[7]
2020 Elected a Legacy Fellow of the American Astronomical Society[8]
