In January 2017, Laura moved to Yale University to become an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department.
Jennifer West is currently a Covington Fellow at the Herzberg Astronomy & Astrophysics Research Centre, National Research Council of Canada. At the Dunlap Institute, Jennifer was a Research Associate who used large radio surveys and radio polarimetry to study magnetic fields in supernova remnants and…
Tina was a Postdoctoral Fellow studying supernovae and quasars in large imaging surveys. She worked with Prof. Renée Hložek on supernovae science in preparation for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. She uses photometric data to classify and estimate redshifts of quasars in other large…
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…
At the Dunlap Institute, Peter worked on the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), an innovative radio telescope that will survey a vast volume of the Universe to produce a three-dimensional map of neutral hydrogen by measuring the cosmologically red-shifted 21cm radiation it emits. Peter’s…
Elliot’s research interests include exoplanets, galaxies and instrumentation. He worked with Shelley Wright on her Near-Infrared Optical SETI program (NIROSETI) which saw first light in January 2015. Elliot investigated aspects of the program, such as a preferred wavelength at which to search, and is also…
Brian Cherinka joined the Dunlap in October, 2012, as part of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) team.
Tuan Do’s research focuses on the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, including the super-massive black hole found there, as well as Active Galactic Nuclei.
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),…
