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 dust and organics in extraterrestrial materials to understand their cosmochemical origins. She measures water and other volatiles in rocky and icy 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 and investigates the use of technology in informal science learning.
  • Joseph Foy's research focuses on understanding the physics of pulsar wind nebulae and of the interstellar medium.
