Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on compiling a list of graduate programs in the United States that offer Ph.D. research opportunities in radio astronomy, with some participants also mentioning related fields such as millimeter/submillimeter astronomy.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant lists several universities known for their involvement in radio astronomy research, including Caltech, Cornell, and Harvard, among others.
  • Another participant suggests adding Illinois and Rutgers for their programs in millimeter/submillimeter astronomy.
  • A different participant points out that West Virginia University (WVU) should also be included in the list.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the schools listed but there are additional suggestions and corrections, indicating that the discussion remains open and unresolved regarding the completeness of the list.

Hello all,

I'm trying to compile a list of schools (mainly in the US) that offer Ph.D. programs with research in radio astronomy.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

Caltech
Cornell
Harvard
New Mexico Tech
Ohio State University
UC Berkley
UC Los Angeles
UC Santa Cruz
University of Arizona
University of Chicago
University of Iowa
University of Maryland
University of New Mexico
University of Texas at Austin
University of Virginia
University of Washington
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Yale

Most of these schools seem to be heavily involved with radio astronomy, whereas in a few cases, I know you can get involved in radio astronomy if you know the right people, though it's not a large constituent. I've looked around google and the likes, so I'm interested to see what other people know of at this point.

Thanks!

If you are also interested in millimeter/submillimeter, you could add Illinois and Rutgers to that list.
 
Excellent, thanks!
 
You're forgetting WVU.
