Abstract:<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The CMB provides a snapshot of the early universe approximately 380,000 years after the Big Bang and remains one of the most informative sources for cosmology. Recent measurements by Planck, the South Pole Telescope (SPT), and other instruments have provided precise measurements of CMB temperature anisotropies. However, several fundamental questions remain, particularly in understanding the origin of primordial B-modes via polarization, the nature of inflationary physics, and the characterization of dark energy and dark matter through CMB lensing. In this talk, I will focus more on the experimental side to test new components for CMB instrumentation, such as QUBIC and Simons Observatory (SO), with a focus on enhancing polarization sensitivity, foreground separation, and noise reduction. I will also assess potential high-altitude observation sites in Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Youssef Moulane is a Research Scientist in astronomy and astrophysics at the Institute of Applied Physics, UM6P. He previously worked as a Postdoc at Auburn University in the United States. His research focuses on the study of the physical and chemical properties of small bodies of the solar system, including comets and asteroids. He holds a Ph.D. in Astronomy and Space Science from Cadi Ayyad University in Morocco and the University of Li\u00e8ge in Belgium in 2021. He has previously worked as a visiting researcher at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile between 2019-2021. In addition to his academic work, he is also interested in outreach and educational activities in the field of astronomy for the public and general audience.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
