Dr. Joe Glaser serves as the Scientific Computations Specialist for NANOGrav and the Center of Gravitational Waves and Cosmology. He volunteers a portion of his time to the WVU Planetarium and Observatory, fostering a keen interest in scientific visualization, educational show production, and increasing the public's access to our facilities. His research expertise lies in the fields of planetary formation and exoplanetary sciences. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Drexel University in 2020, studying the dynamical evolution of planetary systems within Stellar Open Clusters. He serves on a rotation of multiple scientific and DEI working groups with colleagues across the globe. Being a product of both, he strongly supports initiatives focused on undergraduate research and “open source” projects.
