About

I’m Jamie Sullivan, a Brinson Prize Fellow hosted at MIT in the Center for Theoretical Physics. I am large-scale structure cosmologist working to better understand the cosmic web of matter and the spatial statistics of all the shining lights that trace it. For a menu of bite-sized blurbs about my work, see my Research page!

Before MIT, I was a PhD student in the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics with Uroš Seljak (2018-24) where I was a DoE Computational Science Graduate Fellow and a DoE Office of Science Graduate Student Research awardee. Previously, I studied Astronomy, Pure Mathematics, and Physics at the University of Texas at Austin (2014-18). I was also an intern at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (2017) and National Space Club Scholar at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center (2013).

I am dedicated to teaching and education in and outside of research universities and have been involved in prison education programs since 2022. See more at the top right under Teaching++!
