Eve Ostriker

Eve Ostriker serves as the Lyman Spitzer, Jr., Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics and Associate Chair in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, leading research in theoretical and computational astrophysics with emphasis on cosmic gas dynamics across multiple astronomical scales.

Her academic journey includes:

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of California, Berkeley (1993)
• A.B. in Physics, Harvard University (1987)

Her research fundamentally explores supersonic turbulence in interstellar processes, spanning cloud collapse for solar system formation to galaxy-scale energy cycles regulating star formation over cosmic time, while actively developing advanced computational fluid dynamics methodologies.
