Philip R.
Goode is an American theoretical physicist also working in observational astronomy and its instrumentation.
He is a Distinguished Research Professor of Physics at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
His career divides into five overlapping periods as follows. His earliest work in theoretical nuclear physics, 1967-1982. Pioneering research in helioseismology (1981-2005). He created, developed and directed (1995-2014) NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR), which made NJIT one of the most important universities in the U.S.
for observational solar physics, heliophysics, and solar-terrestrial physics. The construction of, and scientific results from, the world’s most powerful solar telescope (2002–present) in Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO).
In 2017, this ground-based telescope was renamed the Goode Solar Telescope (GST).
Goode was director of BBSO from 1997, when the observatory was transferred from Caltech to NJIT, until 2013. Sustained earthshine studies of Earth’s reflectance (1998–present).
