Paul Scowen

Paul Scowen is a research professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. He currently works on astrophysics space mission development as well as imaging, optomechanical and optoelectronic solutions for image stabilization and detectors, as well as next-generation mirror-coating technologies, especially in the ultraviolet. His science focus is on star and planet formation in massive stellar environments as well as variations in the efficiency of such formation as a function of environment and local star formation history. He has worked intimately with the Hubble Space Telescope during his 25-year career and was coauthor on the iconic Eagle Nebula images and the papers that resulted. He currently serves on several NASA advisory committees and is a member of the STDT for the HabEx large mission concept study in process at NASA.

- M. S. Astrophysics, Rice University, Houston, Texas 1989. Thesis: “A Calculation of the Mean Age of Interstellar Dust Particles.” Advisor: Prof. Donald D. Clayton.
- B. S. Physics with Astrophysics (Honors), University of Birmingham, United Kingdom 1987
- The interplay between massive stars and star formation in the surrounding environment. This interest extends both to detailed studies of the physics and dynamics of the gas and dust around regions of high mass star formation, as well as to the study of global effects (e.g. self propagating star formation) in other galaxies. The intent is to use the microphysics we have learned about in nearby star formation regions to tell us more about how larger systems propagate star formation and ultimately affect global modes.
- Space Mission Development with faculty at ASU and elsewhere. This development extends to serving as design lead on the Ultraviolet Spectrograph for the Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx) concept; the instrument interface engineer for the LunaH-Map Cubesat; and the instrument assembly and test engineer for the SPARCS Cubesat.
- Instrumentation Development for both ground-based and space-based applications. Managerial support of the Laboratory for Astronomical Space Instrumentation at ASU. Oversight of graduate students working on contract and thesis work in this lab. We have just completed the development of an operational prototype cryogenic hexapod system to enable image stabilization for high altitude balloon payloads and are advancing to field-based operation.
- Development of facilities and exercises at ASU for undergraduate and graduate education in astronomy and exploration engineering, at both the non-science major and science major levels. This has involved playing a role in the architecture of the ESE BS with Engineering concentration, and the design and delivery of several classes that are core to the degree program.
- Our star formation work is currently proceeding with graduate student Kelley Liebst and tangentially with postdoc Karen Knierman whose focus is on star formation in tidal tail galaxies. New work on star formation in the early Universe with so-called Population III stars in metal-poor environments is being led by graduate student Rhonda Holton and undergraduate student Emily Apel.
- Our instrumentation work is being pursued by graduate students Alex Miller and Rhonda Holton, and undergraduate student Ronnie Ramirez. We are starting work on Cubesat formation flying led by graduate student Connie Spittler. In addition Scowen is PI on a NASA SAT award to develop new reflective coatings for use in the far ultraviolet in space, with collaborators Bob Nemanich and Brianna Eller in ASU Physics.
