We are very happy to announce that Dr. Ralph Pudritz from the University of McMaster has agreed to be a speaker at this years STAR Symposium!
I am a theoretical astrophysicist and my research focuses on star and planet formation. I completed my undergraduate studies at UBC in mathematics and physics. I then moved to the University of Toronto for my M. Sc. (in theoretical physics). I returned to UBC to do my Ph.D. in astrophysics under the supervision of Greg Fahlman, completing it in 1980. I took up an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge (England).

After surviving a department-store telescope, John’s first formal introduction to the world of astronomy was at the hands of the St. John’s Chapter of the RASC in 1997/1998. Following this, he set off to Toronto to learn how to build spacecraft, obtaining a B.A.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2003. In the process he discovered that his real passion lay in exploring the science of other worlds which led him to join the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory in Tucson, AZ. It was there that he achieved a PhD in planetary science in 2008. While at LPL, John participated in several space missions including the Huygens probe to Titan, and was a strategic science planner with the Phoenix Mission to the Martian arctic. Currently, John studies Martian weather at York University and has recently started an NSERC PDF in Astrobiology at the University of Western Ontario.
