Dr. Joshua Montgomery

Project Manager and Project Scientist, LiteBIRD Canada

I’m a physicist with a background in instrumentation and data analysis for terrestrial and space-based telescopes and superconducting quantum sensor arrays.

The McGill Cosmology Instrumentation Laboratory is developing space-flight-qualified readout electronics to perform digital frequency-domain multiplexing of transition edge sensing detectors.

I am the project manager for two contracts with the Canadian Space Agency for LiteBIRD mission development and space technology development.

As a project scientist, I study systematics and performance forecasting. I also lead the integration and end-to-end cryogenic validation of the LiteBIRD readout electronics.
