It has become somewhat of a tradition here at CV to announce our newly-minted PhDs. It is thus with great pleasure that I congratulate Devdeep Sarkar on having earned his degree in Physics from the University of California, Irvine, co-advised by Asantha Cooray and myself. Devdeep has worked very hard over the past few years, producing a total of 7 papers:
A. G. Riess et al.; Astrophys. J. (2009; in press)
A Redetermination of the Hubble Constant with the Hubble Space Telescope from a Differential Distance Ladder
D. Sarkar et al.; Astrophys. J. Lett. 684 L13 (2008)
Implications of Two Type Ia Supernova Populations for Cosmological Measurements
A. Cooray, D. Sarkar, and P. Serra; Phys. Rev. D 77 123006 (2008)
Weak Lensing of the Primary CMB Bispectrum
D. Sarkar et al.; Phys. Rev. D 77 103515 (2008)
Cosmic Shear from Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves
D. Sarkar et al.; Astrophys. J. 678 1 (2008)
Lensing and Supernovae: Quantifying the Bias on Dark Energy Equation of State
D. Sarkar et al.; Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 241302 (2008)
Beyond Two Dark Energy Parameters
D. Sarkar, H. Feldman, and R. Watkins; Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 375 691 (2007)
Bulk flows from velocity field surveys: A Consistency Check
Much of Devdeep’s work has focused on gravitational lensing (of CMB and of supernovae), as well as a better way to analyze data to constrain dark energy (in redshift bins, instead of using arbitrary, poorly-motivated parameterizations). Next month Devdeep is fortunate to be starting a postdoc with Dragan Huterer at the MCTP at Michigan.
Congratulations to Dr. Sarkar on a well-earned piece of parchment!

Why point (solely) to his paper count instead of the quality of his projects?

Congrats to Dr. Sarkar on getting a chance to work with someone whose name sounds a lot like “Dragon Hunter”.

Congratulations Devdeep!

Hey Devdeep,
Congrats! This is Scott, from the binning paper based on my undergrad thesis code!
I subscribe to this blog on my reader.. I didn’t realize you were a contributor Daniel!

Devdeep, I don’t usually post anything on the internet — I’ll make an exception here. Congratulations on the well-deserved degree and see you in a few days.

Congrats Dr Sarkar…!!! This is great stuff…!

Congratulations, and may I offer the traditional blessing that you publish in abundance and in fashionable areas of research, and find a tenure-track position before the end of your third postdoc, else the adjunct purgatory or the corporate hell. Godspeed!

Thank you all for all your wishes…
Daniel… Thanks a lot for the post…
Asantha, Daniel… once again… Thanks a zillion for your continuous guidance and support…
I would also like to extend sincere thanks to all my collaborators…!
