https://ccatobservatory.org https://cmb-s4.org   Eve got her
PhD at Cornell University in 2021, where she was an NSF Graduate
Research Fellow and Provost Diversity Fellow on instrumentation and
analysis for cosmology and astrophysics. She designed Mod-Cam, a
first light instrument for the CCAT Observatory‘s Fred Young
Submillimeter Telescope (FYST). And is currently leading the
development of Mod-Cam for first light on the FYST, located at 5600
meter elevation in the Atacama Desert, Chile.  In addition to
building instrumentation, Dr. Vavagiakis analyzes maps of the
cosmic microwave background to measure thermal and kinetic
Sunyaev–Zel’dovich signals. These measurements probe the contents
and evolution of galaxy groups and clusters and will constrain the
fundamental physics of our universe. Eve is an enthusiastic science
communicator to a diverse public audience, and authoring children’s
books with MIT Kids Press which will highlight modern physics and
astronomy experiments. The first book is “I’m a Neutrino,”
available on Amazon.  “I’m a Neutrino” is an accessible and
visually arresting picture book about one of the universe's most
mysterious particles for the youngest scientific minds. Please
