Astronomy Graduate Student Alumni
Doctor of Philosophy Degree Recipients
This is a list of all Ph.D.'s awarded by the OSU Astronomy Department.
Those graduate alumni who received a terminal M.S. degrees or a thesis
M.S. degree are listed separately. The
first Ph.D. was awarded in 1955, prior to that OSU only had a Master's
program. For each Ph.D. recipient, we list the dissertation title,
their advisor, and their current (or last) professional position (where
known to us). Starting with 1997 graduates, we also list the first
post-graduate position they held (where none is listed, their current
position is their first post-grad position).
Starting in 2002, Dissertations were submitted in PDF format. Approved
copies of all Dissertations starting in 2002 are linked below after the
title.
