Joseph Derose is a computational cosmologist and Chamberlain Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab who applies galaxy survey data to probe fundamental physics on the largest cosmic scales. He earned a PhD in Physics from Stanford and dual degrees in Physics and Mathematics from UC Berkeley, and brings a decade of research experience spanning postdoctoral roles at UCSC/UC Berkeley and long-term collaborations at LBNL. His work blends advanced statistical methods, simulation, and survey analysis to extract cosmological constraints from complex datasets. Based in San Francisco, he is comfortable bridging theory, computation, and large-team experimental projects. Notably, his career began with hands-on research roles at LBNL as an undergraduate, giving him rare continuity from instrumentation and data acquisition through to high-level inference and modeling.
