A new faculty member will soon join the Astronomy group!

The Physics and Astronomy department conducted an extensive faculty search and received over 100 applications for this tenure-track position. We are happy and excited to announce that Dr. Rebecca Martin will join the department next year. Dr. Martin earned her PhD with Professor Jim Pringle in Cambridge and was subsequently a research fellow at both STSI in Baltimore and JILA in Colorado. She is an expert in accretion theory applied to proto-planetary systems, and will have much to bring to UNLV.
