James Dove

Chair and Professor of Physics

College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

Biography

My background is theoretical astrophysics. I have worked on understanding the physics outside the event horizon of accreting black holes, the cause and extent of photoionization of the interstellar medium in our galaxy, and various aspects of magnetohydrodynamics associated with the corona of our Sun. I received my Ph.D. in Astrophysics from CU-Boulder in 1997, and I have been teaching physics here at MSUDenver since 1999.
