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 nor personal life. His career goal is to become a philosopher-king and to evolve beyond the need for a material body. My most recent project involves efforts to develop e-science under the National Virtual Observatory (VAO). I am also an Affiliated Faculty with the Honors College, where they let me teach philosophy of science courses from a science perspective. My political doctrine is well-known, click here for a lengthy description.
