Ian Chow

Astronomy Graduate Student

Welcome! I'm a second-year Astronomy M.Sc. student at the University of Western Ontario, working with Prof. Peter Brown studying meteor physics. My current research focuses on characterizing the physical and dynamical properties of decameter-sized (about 10 meters in diameter) Earth impactors. My other research interests include machine learning, astrostatistics, planetary dynamics and Bayesian inference methods.

I previously received an Honours B.Sc. Astronomy & Physics Specialist, Statistics Major, and Mathematics Minor at the University of Toronto, with an Astronomy thesis supervised by Dr. Sam Hadden and Prof. Hanno Rein and a Statistics thesis supervised by Prof. Joshua S. Speagle.
