Dan Feldman Second Year | Macaulay Honors College


Research that’s out of this world Dan Feldman is reaching for the sky — and finding it.


The summer after his freshman year, Feldman studied the evolution of galaxies as an intern at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Working alongside CSI astrophysics professor Charles Liu, he learned how galaxies interact, collide and merge as part of a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury program called COSMOS.


“I appreciate that Professor Liu was willing to take a leap of faith after having me for just one year in his classroom,” says Feldman, who is a Macaulay Honors College student. Feldman is also developing his presentation and mentoring skills. A member of the CSI Math club, he recently gave two talks about physics to club members. He also serves as a tutor in calculus and physics classes.


“I’ve had the chance to tutor as many as seven students at a time,” says Feldman, who carries a 3.9 grade point average. “Since I want to become a professor, I think it’s good practice for down the road.”


Feldman is confident that he chose the right school.


“CSI doesn’t have the reputation it deserves,” he says. “The professors are great, and I am getting so much out of my classes and my research opportunities. Had I gone somewhere else, I don’t think I’d have the opportunities that I have here.”
