Rate My Professor Jacob Moldenhauer

Moldenhauer's peer-reviewed publications demonstrate significant contributions to testing general relativity at cosmological scales and constraining modified gravity theories. Key works include “Exploring the constraints on cosmological models using CosmoEJS” with Francis Cavanna, William O’Toole, and William Zimmerman (JCAP 11, 2018); “Testing General Relativity at Cosmological Scales: Implementation and Parameter Correlations” with Jason Dossett and Mustapha Ishak (Phys. Rev. D, October 2011); “Supernova, BAO, and CMB surface distance constraints on f(G) higher order gravity models” with Mustapha Ishak, John Thompson, and Damien Easson (Phys. Rev. D 81:063514, 2010); and “A minimal set of invariants as a systematic approach to higher order gravity models: Physical and Cosmological Constraints” with Mustapha Ishak (JCAP 0912:020, 2009). Earlier, he co-authored “A New Independent Limit on the Cosmological Constant/Dark Energy from the Relativistic Bending of Light by Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies” (MNRAS 388, 2008). More recently, Moldenhauer leads the first University of Dallas-led project at CERN's Neutron Time-of-Flight (n_TOF) facility, focusing on thermal neutron absorption cross-sections, including the measurement of the isomeric yield ratio for Zirconium-88 thermal neutron absorption (Phys. Rev. C 111, L021601, 2025) co-authored with students Isaac Kelly and Will Flanagan. He actively mentors undergraduates in advanced research, resulting in student-led publications and presentations at international conferences.
