鄭昀庭

I am a Research Scientist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a Visiting Affiliate at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). My current work focuses on SPHEREx, a NASA all-sky near-infrared survey mission that launched in March 2025 and is now conducting its two-year science operations. Beyond SPHEREx, I'm also actively involved in studies on line intensity mapping, extragalactic background light, Galactic dust extinction modeling, and the cosmic dipole. See my research page for more details.

Prior to my current position, I was a JPL Postdoctoral Fellow at NASA JPL. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student in the Observational Cosmology (ObsCos) group at Caltech. I received my B.S. in Physics at National Taiwan University (NTU) while conducting research projects at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA).
