Crepp is the Frank M. Freimann Assistant Professor in physics at the University of Notre Dame. An experimental astrophysicist by training, Crepp designs and builds new instruments for the largest telescopes in the world. His research focuses on developing innovative technologies to detect and study planets orbiting other stars in an effort to search for signs of life. Professor Crepp was awarded a NASA Early Career Fellowship in 2013 for his work in high-contrast imaging. In 2017, he was awarded a NSF Career Fellowship for developing precision spectrographs that use adaptive optics. Recently, Crepp has been selected by the National Academies of Science to serve on a panel that will identify pathways for astrophysics research through the year 2020 and beyond. Prior to teaching at Notre Dame, Crepp was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology. He received a PhD in astronomy from the University of Florida in 2008 and Bachelor\u2019s degree in physics from the Pennsylvania State University in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Leevy<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Research Associate Professor<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>University of Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-276\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/2018-accfo\/files\/2018\/04\/matt_leevy-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/2018-accfo\/files\/2018\/04\/matt_leevy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/2018-accfo\/files\/2018\/04\/matt_leevy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/2018-accfo\/files\/2018\/04\/matt_leevy.jpg 396w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Matthew Leevy is a Research Associate Professor in Biological Sciences, currently serves as the Director of Biological Imaging within the Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility, and leads an independent laboratory of talented staff, post-docs, and undergraduates.
