While at the Dunlap, Rachel Friesen studied the earliest stages of star formation by observing the cold, dense molecular clouds from which stars arise. She examined the light emitted by molecules within these regions to gain an understanding of the composition, structure, temperature and internal…
Professor Bryan Gaensler is a leading international researcher in cosmic magnetism, supernova explosions and interstellar gas. His research focuses on why the Universe is magnetic, as well as on the study of transient phenomenon as a unique probe of fundamental physics.
Director, 2010 – 2013 In his tenure as the first Director of the Dunlap Institute, James Graham oversaw growth and development that made the Dunlap Institute a vital complement to the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics (DAA) and the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA),…
Jason’s research mainly focuses on trying to understand the origin, evolution and properties of large-scale magnetic fields in higher-mass stars through the use of high-resolution spectropolarimetry. Additionally, he is interested in the effects of magnetic fields on the circumstellar environment of stars, including how they…
Tanveer is an Arts & Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at the David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and a member of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration and the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). His current research interests include developing frameworks to constrain…
