Featured Scientists
Meet the people behind the science!

  • Dr. Ed Wollack
    Ed Wollack discovered very early on in life that he truly enjoyed making things, pondering over puzzles, and playing with light. Perhaps it's not surprising that these interests led him to become an astrophysicist, developing instruments that have helped see the edges of the known universe.

  • Dr. John Baker
    Understanding the extreme gravity in the merger of black holes -- as predicted by Einstein -- is what drives John's research.
