Jan 22, 2022 · Draine joined the Department of Astrophysical Sciences in 1982. His research interests are in theoretical astrophysics, with particular interest in the rich physics of the interstellar medium. He has worked on a range of topics, including the theory of interstellar shock waves, and the structure of photodissociation regions.

Bruce Thomas Draine (born November 19, 1947, in Kolkata) is an American astrophysicist. [1] He is Professor of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. [2] He attended Swarthmore College from 1965 to 1969. He served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ghana from 1969 to 1971, where he taught secondary school physics and mathematics.

Nov 3, 2023 · Few have contributed more to illuminating our own understanding of the dusty universe than Bruce Draine of Princeton University. As we discuss the physics and astrophysics of dust, we will also celebrate his past and ongoing work in this field as well as the enduring collaborations and friendships formed along the way.

Bruce Draine, a versatile theoretical astrophysicist and renowned expert on the interstellar medium, transferred to emeritus status on July 1, 2024, after forty-two years on the faculty of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences.

As described by Draine & Lee (1984) and Laor & Draine (1993) we have constructed dielectric functions for "astronomical silicate", graphite, and silicon carbide for wavelengths from the far-infrared to X-rays.

Draine, Bruce T. Abstract This is a comprehensive and richly illustrated textbook on the astrophysics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium--the gas and dust, as well as the electromagnetic radiation, cosmic rays, and magnetic and gravitational fields, present between the stars in a galaxy and also between galaxies themselves.
