About
R. Miquel is a leading cosmologist whose work is central to the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration, focusing on the critical challenge of fiber assignment incompleteness in large-scale structure surveys. Their primary research addresses how the physical constraints of robotic fiber positioners introduce systematic biases into galaxy clustering measurements, which must be corrected to extract accurate cosmological information. Miquel’s major contributions include developing methods to produce alternate realizations of fiber assignment for unbiased clustering measurements in both data and simulations, a technique that has garnered 25 citations since 2025. They have also provided an in-depth characterization of fiber assignment incompleteness effects on two-point clustering and proposed mitigation strategies for DESI Data Release 1, cited 20 times. These works are essential for ensuring that DESI’s ambitious survey of over 30 million galaxies yields reliable constraints on dark energy and cosmic expansion. Miquel’s research exemplifies the meticulous attention to systematic effects required in precision cosmology, making them a key figure in the next generation of dark energy experiments.
