The astronomy & astrophysics program at WSU is part of the
Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Students in astronomy and physics share a common learning environment and
many of the same courses. The program's research-active astronomers
mentor 100% of astrophysics undergraduates in hands-on research
projects.
The nucleus of the astrophysics program faculty is a group consisting
of Dr. Sukanta Bose,
Dr. Mathew Duez,
Dr. Guy Worthey,
Dr. Michael Allen, and adjunct professors Frederick Raab, head of
LIGO Hanford
and John Blakeslee,
astronomer at the Hertzburg Institute of Astrophysics.
Postdoctoral
researchers,
undergraduate
and
graduate
student researchers, physics
faculty,
outreach coordinator, and support
staff complete the astrophysics program.
