Topic:
Professor Leroy will describe how the James Webb Space Telescope opens a fantastic new window to directly witness the birth of stars across the universe. He and his collaborators will use JWST to probe the natal cocoons of dust and gas where stars are formed, as well as peer into the dusty hearts of galaxies to unravel the mysteries of the formation of massive star clusters, which are the most extreme type of star formation in the nearby universe.

Bio:
Areas of Expertise

The Interstellar Medium
Star Formation in Galaxies
Radio and Millimeter-Wave Astronomy
Prof. Leroy joined the Ohio State faculty in 2015. An observer, he uses multi-wavelength observations to understand the interstellar medium, star formation, feedback, and how these relate to the formation and evolution of galaxies. An expert in long-wavelength observations, Prof. Leroy is an active user of the new generation of major radio and mm-wave facilities like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).
