معرفی
Lauranne Lanz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at The College of New Jersey's School of Science. Her research centers on extragalactic astrophysics, including galaxy evolution, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and the interstellar medium. She employs multi-wavelength data from space telescopes and ground-based observatories to study galactic feedback mechanisms and star formation processes.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Harvard University, 2013
- A.M. in Astronomy, Harvard University, 2009
- B.Sc. in Astronomy and Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, 2007
Her research explores AGN feedback in galaxy clusters, molecular gas dynamics in infrared-bright galaxies, and shock-induced star formation. Recent work focuses on obscured quasars and the role of radio jets in galactic evolution.
Publications demonstrate a strong focus on high-energy extragalactic phenomena, with recurring themes of AGN obscuration, radio jet interactions, and multi-wavelength survey science. Her articles frequently leverage data from NuSTAR, ALMA, and Hubble Space Telescope.
Dr. Lanz mentors undergraduate researchers in astrophysics projects and collaborates internationally through consortia like the NuSTAR Extragalactic Survey team. Laboratory facilities include access to the college's astronomical instrumentation and data archives.
