Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jeremy Goodman. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Professor Jeremy Goodman received A.B. and A.M. degrees in physics from Harvard in 1979, and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Princeton in 1983. After postdoctoral fellowships at Caltech and the Institute for Advanced Study, he joined the Princeton faculty in 1988. Professor Goodman is broadly interested in theoretical astrophysics, especially in astrophysical fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, preferring analytic, semianalytic, and fully numerical work. His favorite applications include accretion disks, protostars, quasars, tides, stars, extrasolar planets, planetesimal formation, and gamma-ray bursts. For his Ph.D. and the years thereafter, he specialized in N-body dynamics and dense stellar systems. Professor Goodman is associated with theorist experimental efforts at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to study hydrodynamic and MHD instabilities relevant to astrophysics.
GRE scores are not accepted. Ph.D. is the primary degree; students are not required to hold an M.S.E. prior to admission.
