Prof. Schombert is an
observational astronomer
whose
research focuses upon galaxy evolution and formation, as well as topics in cosmology. His recent
efforts have involved the star formation history of low surface brightness
galaxies, the structure of ellipticals and the baryonic Tully-Fisher
relation (a MOND project). In 1995, he discovered a new type of galaxy
called a dwarf spiral. His only claim to fame is having published at
least one paper on a topic that covered every known wavelength. Paroled from NASA/JPL, Dr. Schombert has been an academic at the UOregon since 1996. When not teaching astronomy or volleyball, he can be found in his office. He has no hobbies, his career goal is to become a philosopher-king and to evolve beyond the need for a material body. My most recent projects involves efforts to develop e-science under the National Virtual Observatory (VAO, now the IVOA) and destroying the dark matter paradigm. My political doctrine is well-known, click here for a lengthy description. I have often been called the Angriest Astronomer in the World. And I have my own asteroid.
