Gary Hinshaw’s work at UBC focuses on the building of two new radio observatories to explore the large-scale properties of the universe: its origin, evolution and ultimate fate.

He has 15 years of experience in cosmic microwave background (CMB) satellite data analysis with the COBE-DMR and WMAP missions. Hinshaw also served as data analysis lead for NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, and as director of the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA), which provides CMB data to the scientific community.
