Eve Charis Ostriker(born 1965)[1]is an Americanastrophysicist,known for her research onstar formation[2]and on related topics involvingsuperbubbles,[3]molecular clouds,young stars,computational fluid dynamics,and supersonic turbulence. She is a professor in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences ofPrinceton University.
Education and career
editOstriker is the daughter ofastrophysicistJeremiah P. Ostriker[4]and poetAlicia Ostriker.[1]She graduatedmagna cum laudefromHarvard Collegein 1987, and after a year as a visiting student at theUniversity of Oxford,went to theUniversity of California, Berkeleyfor graduate studies in physics. There, she earned a master's degree in 1990 and completed her Ph.D. in 1993.[5]Her doctoral dissertation,Gravitational Torques on Star-Disk Systems,was supervised byFrank Shu.[6]
After postdoctoral research in astronomy at Berkeley and theCenter for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian,she became an assistant professor ofastronomyat theUniversity of Maryland, College Parkin 1996. She was promoted to full professor in 2006, and moved to the Department of Astrophysical Sciences of Princeton University in 2012.[5]
Recognition
editOstriker was elected to theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciencesin 2020.[7]She was named aFellow of the American Physical Societyin 2022 "for seminal contributions to our understanding of the physical process that controls star formation in galaxies, and the structure and dynamics of the turbulent interstellar medium".[8]
