Timeline
Brian Gregory Keating (born September 9, 1971) is an American cosmologist.
He works on observations of the cosmic microwave background, leading the BICEP, POLARBEAR2 and Simons Array experiments.
Keating was born on September 9, 1971, the son of the mathematician James Ax, and his wife Barbara.
When he was about seven, his parents divorced and his mother remarried, and the young Brian took his stepfather's name, Keating.
He was out of contact with his father for the next 15 years, reconnecting when only he was a graduate student.
Keating grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York.
As a youth, Keating was a member of the Catholic Church.
He later became an atheist, and subsequently he became Jewish, describing himself as a 'practicing devout agnostic'.
As well as a cosmologist, he is a pilot with a multi-engine turbine license.
Keating received his B.S. degree in Physics from the Case Western Reserve University in 1993.
He then obtained his M.S. degree in Physics from Brown University in 1995, and subsequently studied for his Ph.D. also at Brown.
He received his PhD in 2000, and is a distinguished professor of physics at University of California, San Diego, since 2019.
He is the author of two books, Losing The Nobel Prize and Into the Impossible.
His thesis, titled A search for the large angular scale polarization of the cosmic microwave background and supervised by Peter Timbie, was accepted in 2000.
He started as a National Science Foundation (NSF) postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology in 2001 until 2004.
He was an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego from 2004, before being promoted to associate professor there in 2009.
He received an NSF career grant in 2005, and a Presidential Early Career Award in 2006.
He was a trustee of Math for America, San Diego in 2006–2014, Angel Flight West in 2010–2015, and the National Museum of Mathematics in 2014–2017.
He has two patents, on a "wide-bandwidth polarization modulator for microwave and mm-wavelengths" in 2009, and "Tunnel junction fabrication" in 2016.
BICEP received a NASA Group Achievement Award in 2010.
He is currently a trustee of San Diego Air & Space Museum since 2013, and is on the Ruben H. Fleet Museum advisory council since 2017.
He became co-director of the Ax Center for Experimental Cosmology and the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Program in Astrophysics in 2013.
Keating became a professor at UC San Diego in 2014.
He became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2016.
In 2016 he convinced the Simons Foundation, controlled by his biological father's business partner and former classmate, to provide US$38.4m of funding for what later became the Simons Array, and in 2019 a US$20m grant from the Simons Foundation led to the creation of the Simons Observatory, followed by an additional US$4.6m in 2021.
Keating co-leads POLARBEAR2 and the Simons Array in Chile, and has raised around US$100m of funding for CMB telescopes.
Keating has hosted the Clarke Center Into the Impossible podcast since 2016.
It takes its name from the second of Clarke's three laws: "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible."
Each episode is a long-form conversation with nobel laureates, scientists, writers and other notable individuals such as Stephen C. Meyer (an advocate of the pseudoscience of intelligent design ), Noam Chomsky, Eric Weinstein, Jill Tarter, Sara Seager, and nobel prize winners interviewed for his books, lasting around an hour.
it has around 50,000 subscribers, and has hosted 11 Nobel Prize winners and two recipients of the Pulitzer Prize.
Keating received an Excellence in Stewardship Award in 2018/19, and is an honorary member of the National Society of Black Physicists.
He is co-director of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Human Imagination at UC San Diego.
He received the Horace Mann Medal from Brown University Graduate School in 2022.
Keating researches cosmology, focusing on the study of the cosmic microwave background and its relationship to the origin and evolution of the universe.
He conceived the BICEP (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) instrument, which observed from the South Pole.
In 2019 he became the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego, in the Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences, which is part of the Department of Physics.
