Profiles in "Astronomy" Expertise Area
- Jansen's research focuses on ground- and space-based ultraviolet–mid-infrared broad- and narrow-band surface photometry and spectroscopy of relatively nearby galaxies.
- Windhorst's research is in astronomy, cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution, the cosmic dark ages and the epoch of First Light, and astronomical instrumentation.
- Timmes is an astrophysicist in interested in stars, chemical evolution, astrobiology, gamma-ray astronomy and community-driven software instruments.
- Christopher Groppi is an experimental astrophysicist interested in the process of star and planet formation and the interstellar medium.
- Scowen's interests include star formation, astronomical space mission development, imaging, detectors and mirror coatings.
- With Master's degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering, worked in Semiconductor Circuit Design for many years before a late career switch to Astrophysics.
- Bose investigates minerals and organics in extraterrestrial materials to understand their cosmochemical origins. She measures water and other volatiles in rocky and icy planetary and asteroidal regolith.
- Philip Mauskopf works on designing and building instruments primarily for astronomy and cosmology using superconducting detectors and devices.
- Bowman is an astrophysicist. His research focuses on the formation of structure in the early universe. He also develops astronomical instrumentation for ground-based instruments and small satellites.
- Joseph Foy's research focuses on understanding the physics of pulsar wind nebulae and of the interstellar medium.
