David Carter
(Liverpool John Moores University)
Dave Carter attended Oxford (BA 1973) and Cambridge (PhD 1977)
universities. Following a postdoctoral position back in Oxford, he
spent many years working at Observatory sites, at the
Anglo-Australian Observatory, then at Mount Stromlo Observatory
of the Australian National University, and then for the Isaac
Newton Group of telescopes on La Palma. In 1991 he returned to the
UK, and spent some time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory
developing instrumentation for the La Palma telescopes. In 1996
he moved to Liverpool John Moores University, working with the
team developing and then operating the robotic Liverpool Telescope
(http://telescope.livjm.ac.uk).
His research interests since his PhD have been in the origin
and evolution of galaxies, particularly the formation of elliptical
galaxies, galaxy mergers, and the evolution of galaxies in
clusters.
Shardha Jogee
(University of Texas at Austin)
Shardha Jogee attended Cambridge University in England
where she received a B.S. and M.A. in Physics in 1992 and
1995, respectively. She continued her studies at Yale
University, earning two Master's degrees (Master of
Science and Master of Philosophy) Astronomy in 1994 and a
Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1999. She then held a postdoctoral
position at Caltech for three years prior to joining the
Hubble team at STScI in 2002 as a tenurer-track
astronomer. In 2004, she joined the Department of
Astronomy at the University of Texas (UT) in Austin where
she is currently an Assistant Professor.
Dr. Jogee has contributed greatly to the field of
astronomy through her research on disk galaxies. The
common thread in much of her research is understanding
galaxy evolution in various unique settings: mergers,
interactions, cluster environments, starburst galaxies,
barred galaxies, etc.
