This spreadsheet lists active faculty at various astro/physics/planetary sciences departments, their rough research interests, and (optionally) the contact info for a grad student who is working or has worked with the faculty member. It is intended to be a useful starting point for students interested in applying to grad school. This spreadsheet was compiled and is maintained by grad students, and it is not guaranteed to be 100% complete, and is not intended as an endorsement of the listed faculty. We strongly recommend reaching out to faculty or students directly to get a more accurate picture of a department, its faculty, and their research.
Additional notes about student contacts:
