Awards & Achievements

2001 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For contributions to understanding the nature of dark matter, including the theory of relic abundance and detection of particle dark matter, and the theory, discovery, and interpretation of gravitational microlensing

1994 - Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Astrophysics, Gravitational microlensing, Astronomy, Dark matter and Dark matter halo are his primary areas of study. His study involves Galactic halo, Large Magellanic Cloud, Massive compact halo object, Light curve and Planet, a branch of Astrophysics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Milky Way, Brown dwarf, Optical depth and Bulge.

His primary area of study in Astronomy is in the field of Gravitational lens. His Dark matter research incorporates themes from Solar mass and Neutron star. His Dark matter halo study deals with the bigger picture of Halo.

His most cited work include:

  • Supersymmetric Dark Matter (1651 citations)
  • Supersymmetric Dark Matter (1541 citations)
  • Three exceptions in the calculation of relic abundances (979 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational microlensing, Stars and Dark matter. His research related to Large Magellanic Cloud, Bulge, Variable star, Dark matter halo and Milky Way might be considered part of Astrophysics. His Large Magellanic Cloud research incorporates elements of Small Magellanic Cloud and Distance modulus.

His research in Bulge tackles topics such as Photometry which are related to areas like Pixel. The concepts of his Gravitational microlensing study are interwoven with issues in Massive compact halo object, Halo, Galactic halo and Gravitational lens. His Dark matter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Annihilation and Primordial black hole.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrophysics (105.00%)
  • Astronomy (77.94%)
  • Gravitational microlensing (63.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2018)?

  • Astrophysics (105.00%)
  • Gravitational microlensing (63.82%)
  • Astronomy (77.94%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Kim Griest spends much of his time researching Astrophysics, Gravitational microlensing, Astronomy, Dark matter and Light curve. Halo, Bulge, Large Magellanic Cloud, Redshift and Gravitational lens are the subjects of his Astrophysics studies. His studies in Gravitational microlensing integrate themes in fields like Milky Way, Optical depth and Solar mass.

Astronomy is closely attributed to Event in his study. His studies deal with areas such as Massive compact halo object and Primordial black hole as well as Dark matter. He interconnects Supernova and Photometry in the investigation of issues within Light curve.

Between 2002 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Geometry of the Large Magellanic Cloud Disk: Results from MACHO and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (144 citations)
  • Microlensing optical depth toward the galactic bulge using clump giants from the MACHO survey (127 citations)
  • First Space-Based Microlens Parallax Measurement: Spitzer Observations of OGLE-2005-SMC-001 (119 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Electron

His main research concerns Astrophysics, Astronomy, Gravitational microlensing, Light curve and Halo. His work on Astrophysics deals in particular with Primordial black hole, Redshift, Stars, Gravitational lens and Massive compact halo object. His Astronomy and Distance modulus, Cepheid variable and Large Magellanic Cloud investigations all form part of his Astronomy research activities.

His Gravitational microlensing study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Milky Way. Kim Griest combines subjects such as Supernova and Photometry with his study of Light curve. His work investigates the relationship between Halo and topics such as Microlens that intersect with problems in Space Interferometry Mission.
