Dr. Tanveer Karim

Tanveer is an Arts & Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at the David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and a member of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration and the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC).

His current research interests include developing frameworks to constrain cosmological models by cross-correlating multiple surveys and improving interpretability of the constraints to address various cosmological tensions. Previously, he has also extensively worked on target selection of emission-line galaxies for DESI, mitigation of observational systematics, as well as projects pertaining to the Milky Way and analysis of stellar rotation periods.

Outside of research, Tanveer loves to learn languages, play board games, and read books.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information.
