Marshall Hobson-Ritz

I am Marshall (they/them & he/him), a graduate student specializing in the study of gas & dust (the interstellar, circumgalactic, and intergalactic mediums) and their role in galactic evolution.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from Cornell College (2018) and a Bachelor of Science in Astronomy from the University of Washington (2023), which I earned through a post-baccalaureate program. During my time at the University of Washington, my research focused on the tidal evolution of binary stars. Prior to enrolling in the post-baccalaureate program, I gained valuable industry experience, which I now bring to my graduate studies.

Outside of research, I enjoy exploring creative and outdoor pursuits, including art, cooking, gardening, and hiking.
