May 6 - Dr. John Mulchaey |
 Dr.
John S. Mulchaey is Director and Crawford H. Greenewalt Chair at
the Carnegie Observatories, Pasadena's oldest scientific
establishment and a world leader in research on the evolution of
the universe. In addition, Dr. Mulchaey is Science Deputy of the
Observatories' parent organization, The Carnegie Institution for
Science, where he oversees scientific developments throughout
the Institution's six departments which span the physical and
biological disciplines.
Mulchaey earned his B.S. in
Astrophysics from UC Berkeley, and his Ph.D. in Astrophysics
from the University of Maryland. He was a Carnegie Postdoctoral
Fellow before joining the Observatories as a staff scientist in
1999, and served as Associate Director for Academic Affairs
before being named The Observatories' 11th Director in 2015.
Today, Mulchaey oversees Carnegie's main campus in Pasadena as
well as The Observatories' large-telescopes facility in Las
Campanas, Chile. He is also on the Board for the Giant Magellan
Telescope, a next-generation telescope being designed in
Pasadena.
Dr. Mulchaey's research focuses on many key
areas in astronomy, including dark matter and black holes. In
1993, he led the team that discovered large amounts of dark
matter in the local universe, a discovery that received
front-page coverage in The New York Times and a feature in Time
magazine. In 2016, he appeared in the press as part of the team
following a mysterious fast radio burst for the first time. He
is also a frequent consultant to NASA and the National Science
Foundation.
Dr. Mulchaey also leads numerous Carnegie
outreach and educational activities throughout Los Angeles and
beyond. He created the annual Carnegie Observatories Astronomy
Lectures, a popular series held each spring at The Huntington
Library. He hosts astronomy nights at many schools; secured
funding for the creation of science rooms at three local
elementary schools; and founded a program for gifted high school
science students. In 2020 he received the Helios Award, part of
the international Rotary Humanitarian STAR Awards program, for
his achievements in scientific education.
Mulchaey's
presentation "Eyes on the Universe" will discuss how Carnegie
Observatories is the leading center of astronomy research and
discovery. |

Rotary is a leadership organization
made up of local business, professional and civic leaders who meet
regularly to get to know each other, form friendships and, through that,
get things done in our local community. Rotary is the world's
oldest and largest service organization (founded in 1905). |
