Michael 'Misha' Rashkovetskyi |
default |
I am a PhD candidate at Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian working with prof. Daniel Eisenstein. I am graduating in May 2025 and I will be a Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) fellow at the Ohio State University from late July 2025.
I have developed the covariance matrix pipeline for 2-point correlation function for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) 2024 baryon acoustic oscillations measurements, and I am continuing this work for the ongoing analysis of the 3-year DESI data. I am also working on selection/weighting of DESI galaxies based on a thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich map to extract more information from galaxy clustering. Earlier, I finished a project on small-scale baryon inhomogeneities at recombination time as a possible relief of Hubble tension.
Before this I earned a B.Sc. degree in Physics in August 2020 from Tel Aviv University, where I worked with Dr. Omer Bromberg on relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of highly magnetized astrophysical jets propagating in a medium. Earlier I studied at Department of General and Applied Physics of Moscow Insitute of Physics and Technology and worked with prof. Vasily Beskin on radiopulsar statistics and losses mechanism.
Another field of my interest are principles of quantum theory.
See the dedicated pages for more details on research experience or biography.
I am also known as Mykhailo Rashkovetskyi (officially, Ukrainian) and Mikhail Mikhailovich Rashkovetskiy (Russian).
