معرفی
Evan Scannapieco is a Professor of Astrophysics at Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE). His research focuses on understanding feedback processes in galaxy formation and the evolution of elements across cosmic time. He holds academic appointments since 2007, progressing from Assistant to Professor. Scannapieco earned his Ph.D. in Physics from UC Berkeley (2001) and an A.B. in Physics from Harvard (1996).
- Education: Harvard University (A.B. 1996), UC Berkeley (MS 1999, Ph.D. 2001)
- Appointments: NSF Postdoc (2001-03), SESE Assistant Professor (2007-13), Associate Professor (2013-18), Full Professor (2018-present)
His research emphasizes AGN feedback, first stars, galaxy outflows, and turbulence. Key projects include modeling galactic winds, studying circumgalactic medium turbulence, and analyzing supernova-driven processes. Scannapieco has led over $5M in federal grants from NASA and NSF, focusing on simulations of galaxy formation and cosmic enrichment.
He advises a diverse team of students and postdocs, including current PhD candidates Edward Buie and J’Neil Cottle. Notable past advisees include Richard Sarmento (now at US Naval Academy) and Alexander Spacek (Los Alamos). Scannapieco has organized workshops like the Turbulent Life of Cosmic Baryons (2019) and contributed to projects like the LOFAR radio telescope initiative.
Awards: Dr. Manuel Servín Faculty Award (2019), NASA HQ Honor Award (2019), Ontario Research & Innovation Optical Network Discovery Award (2007), and the NSF Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship (2001).
Scannapieco serves on NASA committees including the Astrophysics Theory Program and chairs the DEI Task Force for the Astrophysics Division. He also chairs the NASA Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Task Force and leads HPC allocation efforts for astrophysics.
