Gordon J. Stacey is the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences and CCAT Project Director at Cornell University's Department of Astronomy. He received his PhD in Astronomy from Cornell in 1985 and joined the faculty in 1991 after postdoctoral work at UC Berkeley. His research focuses on star and galaxy formation across cosmic time, utilizing far-infrared/submillimeter spectroscopy. He leads the CCAT Project, developing the FYST telescope in Chile, and is Principal Investigator for the POEMM mission targeting protoplanetary disks. Notable contributions include instrumental advancements like ZEUS-2 and EoR-Spec, as well as seminal studies on [CII], [NII], and [OIII] lines in high-redshift galaxies.
Education: PhD in Astronomy from Cornell University (1985). Research emphasizes interstellar medium interactions, cosmic evolution, and instrumentation. Key projects include EoR-Spec for FYST (first light 2027) and the VIPA-based POEMM mission (2029 balloon flight). Awards include the David C. Duncan Professorship. His work bridges observational cosmology, galaxy evolution, and technological innovation in astronomy.
Scientific awards include the endowed David C. Duncan Professorship. Current roles involve directing the CCAT Project and advancing instrumentation for submillimeter astronomy. Future projects focus on protoplanetary disk studies via POEMM and FYST observations of the Epoch of Reionization.
