Hsiao-Mei Cho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho is a solid state physicist who works as a lead scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California.[1] Her research involves the development of superconducting quantum sensors and instruments to measure cosmological phenomena including dark matter[2] and the polarization of the cosmic microwave background.[3]
Cho has a Ph.D. from the University of Houston,[4] with Paul Ching Wu Chu as her advisor,[5] but her doctoral research was primarily performed at the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of John Clarke. After postdoctoral research at Berkeley,[4] in the group of William Holzapfel,[6] she became a researcher for the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2007. Her research there included both astrophysical and terrestrial application of microwave sensors; while at NIST, she also held an affiliation at the University of Colorado Boulder.[4] She subsequently moved to SLAC;[1] she is also affiliated with the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, a joint laboratory of SLAC and Stanford University.[7]
