Duncan Brown

A Syracuse faculty member since 2007, Brown has distinguished himself in the fields of gravitational-wave astronomy and astrophysics. As co-leader of the University’s Gravitational-Wave Astronomy Group, he works primarily at the nexus of physics, astronomy and computing. Brown’s contributions to LIGO’s Nobel Prize-winning data have helped open a new window onto physics, astronomy and cosmology, while reframing fundamental questions about the origins and evolution of the universe. Recently, his team contributed to a major discovery: witnessing the collision of two neutron stars in deep space and the resulting afterglow that signified the process of gold being created.

An American Physical Society and Kavli Frontiers Fellow, Brown is the recipient of a Cottrell Scholar Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and a Meredith Professor Teaching Recognition Award from Syracuse. Brown is a sought-after conference presenter; the principal investigator of more than a dozen sponsored research projects; and an accomplished teacher, mentor and author. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and, prior to Syracuse, held a research position at Caltech.
