  BioI carry out theoretical and observational research in cosmology on topics including dark energy, dark matter, and inflation, using tools such as large-scale structure, gravitational lensing, and supernovae, with increasing focus on the application of machine learning to the analysis of cosmic surveys. Cosmology is akin to archaeology on the grand scale: as an archaeologist uses pottery shards to reconstruct an ancient civilization and how it evolved, cosmologists use both small- and large-scale data to reconstruct the origin and evolution of the universe and to probe fundamental physics.

  Spencer Gessner

  Assistant Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
  

  BioDr. Spencer Gessner is an Assistant Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University. Dr. Gessner was previously a Staff Scientist at SLAC researching plasma wakefield acceleration at FACET-II, and a Fellow at CERN on the AWAKE proton beam-driven plasma acceleration experiment. Dr. Gessner earned a Ph.D. from Stanford University studying the acceleration of positron beams in plasma. Dr. Gessner is currently coordinating the US 10 TeV Wakefield Collider Design Study and is broadly involved in research on future colliders from Higgs Factories to future Energy Frontier machines.
