Lecturers and Research Fellows

Research Interests: Microlensing searches for exoplanets, brown dwarfs, and other objects, including detailed characterization using space-based microlensing parallaxes.

My research focuses on studying super massive black holes with sufficient resolution to directly observe the event horizon. To do this our group assembles global networks of telescopes that observe at mm wavelengths to create an Earth-size virtual...

Szentgyorgyi has worked in a number of astrophysical areas including neutrino astronomy, very high energy gamma astronomy and X-ray astronomy. For the last two decades he has focused on optical high dispersion stellar spectroscopy with a focus on...

Hossein Sadeghpour is the director of the Institute for Theoretical Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics (ITAMP) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. ITAMP (itamp.harvard.edu) is funded by the NSF. He is also...

Research

Wilner's main research interests are (1) circumstellar disks and the formation of planets, and (2) the development of aperture synthesis techniques. Some of his science program makes use of the Submillimeter Array near the summit of Mauna Kea...

Research

Exoplanets have been my main research interest in recent years, initially with a focus on the detection of candidate planets, both with radial-velocity surveys and with space missions such as Kepler and TESS.  Now my focus is on the confirmation...

Research

Studies of the long-term dynamics of our solar system and extrasolar planetary systems. Observational surveys for Kuiper belt objects, Centaurs, and outer planet satellites using Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Cerro Tololo Inter-American...

Research

Andrews' research is focused on star and planet formation, with particular emphasis on making astronomical measurements related to the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks around young stars. The physical conditions and material...
