Casey Papovich is a Professor of Astronomy at Texas A&M University. He is the project scientist for GMACS, the primary wide-field spectrograph being built for the Giant Magellan Telescope, and he is involved in multiple international collaborations, including the ZFOURGE, CANDELS, HETDEX, HerS, DES, and LSST projects. His research is in observational cosmology, the formation and evolution of the most distant galaxies, the growth of large-scale structures of galaxies, constraints on cosmological reionization, and using satellite galaxies to test the nature of dark matter. He uses data from all of NASA’s space-based Great Observatories, the Herschel Space Observatory, and the largest terrestrial telescopes, including the Gemini Observatory, Magellan Telescopes, Keck Observatory, and ALMA Observatory.
