Profiles in "Physics" Expertise Area

  • Scowen's interests include star formation, astronomical space mission development, imaging, detectors and mirror coatings.
  • Easson is a theoretical physicist researching topics at the interface of fundamental particle physics and cosmology.
  • Wang's research interests include thermal energy conversion, storage, and transport in nanostructured materials; thermoelectric power generation; thermal storage media; heat transfer, and phonon optics
  • Sara Walker is a theoretical physicist and astrobiologist with major contributions in theoretical advances in astrobiology, developing new approaches to the problem of understanding universal features of life.
  • An ASU professor since 2000, Lebed’s research focuses on many distinct aspects of theoretical elementary particle physics, particularly the structure of particles that feel the strong nuclear force (“hadrons”).
  • Maulik Parikh's research interests are in classical and quantum gravity.
  • 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.
