At the University of Cincinnati, our astrophysics research focuses on two main areas: examining young star systems and their surroundings, mainly through infrared observations, and analyzing stellar populations. Stars originate within dense gas and dust clouds, where the dust not only blocks their light but also emits its own glow as it absorbs energy. Infrared wavelengths offer a crucial observational advantage since dust obscures less light in this spectrum compared to visible or ultraviolet ranges, and most dust emissions occur in the infrared. This makes infrared ideal for studying the birth and development of young stellar systems. Additionally, we've created advanced techniques to analyze the combined light from star clusters and distant galaxies, enabling us to study stellar system formation and evolution even when individual stars cannot be resolved.

The minimum required GPA for graduate study is 3.0. Applicants should take the General GRE, and are strongly encouraged to take the Physics GRE subject area test for international applicants. Applicants without Physics GRE subject area test scores must provide other evidence of outstanding achievement and promise. There are no minimum required GRE scores for admission. Instead, we consider your scores, overall record, and letters of recommendation to make the admission decision.
