I am a professor in the Department of Astronomy of The Ohio State University.

PhD Program in Astronomy at the Ohio State University

At the Department of Astronomy of The Ohio State University we offer a unique PhD program with a very strong emphasis on research. Our graduating students have typically authored or co-authored 7-12 refereed journal articles by the time they complete the program, in addition to numerous conference papers and abstracts. Our 1st- and 2nd-year students are already active researchers, publishing papers, attending conferences, giving talks, going on observing runs, and working in the instrument lab. Cick here for more information.
