Earl Bellinger

Earl Bellinger joins Yale University as Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy in January 2024. His research intersects astrophysics and artificial intelligence with a particular focus on stellar evolution, structure, and pulsations. He utilizes seismic data from stars to determine their inner structure and ages, which in turn enables further study of the exoplanets they host, the galaxies that host them, and their own underlying physics. He carried out his Ph.D. research at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and Yale, and he held Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Stellar Astrophysics Centre in Denmark and at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany.
