Some days it is easy to be overwhelmed by the problems of the world. But what distinguishes us in the Cosmos is our ability to solve problems. Humans have uncovered and solved great mysteries in the Universe from the vanishingly small to the enormously vast. That ability is a limitless source of inspiration to remind each and every one of us of our superpower when we go out to face the world each day.
Shane is a research associate professor of physics at Northwestern University, and an astronomer at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. He works in the field of gravitational wave astrophysics, specializing in studies of compact stars, binaries, and the galaxy. He works in gravitational wave astronomy with both the ground-based LIGO project, and future LISA space-based observatory for NASA.
Shane grew up in eastern Oregon, and was an undergraduate at Oregon State University where he received his B.S. in Physics in 1991. He received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1999 from Montana State University. He is an award winning teacher, and a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
He currently lives in the Chicago area with his wife, daughter and cats. He contributes regularly to a public science blog at writescience.wordpress.com, and tweets with the handle @sciencejedi.
