Professor Studies X-rays from Space
November 13, 2017
Dr. Ned Douglass, chair of Science, 
Technology & Society and assistant professor of physics, has been awarded a $62K grant to observe X-ray radiation from cosmic sources. He will do his research on NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory – considered one of the space agency’s “Great Observatories,” along with the Hubble Space Telescope.
Dr. Douglass, who is also an astronomer, studies galaxy clusters – the largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe, and the X-rays they emit. His research focuses on understanding the evolution of structure in the cosmos across the grandest scales.
