I aim to understand the physics of the interstellar medium, star formation, and stellar feedback and to relate these to the evolution of galaxies. My work combines cutting-edge observations from across the electromagnetic spectrum, and often involves developing new analysis techniques aimed at combining cross-wavelength data to gain astrophysical insight. I also lead new radio, millimeter, and infrared surveys, and have been a leader in producing high quality, high impact, and broadly useful public data sets for nearb y galaxies.

Prof. Leroy joined the Ohio State faculty in 2015. An observer, he uses multi-wavelength observations to understand the interstellar medium, star formation, feedback, and how these relate to the formation and evolution of galaxies. An expert in long-wavelength observations, Prof. Leroy is an active user of the new generation of major radio and mm-wave facilities like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).
