Drummond B. Fielding

I am an assistant professor in the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics in the Department of Physics at New York University.

My research focuses on theoretical astrophysics, particularly the physics of magnetized turbulence, cosmic-ray transport, and multiphase gas in and around galaxies. I use a combination of large-scale numerical simulations, analytic modeling, and connections to observations.

Before joining NYU, I was a professor in the Astronomy Department at Cornell University (2024-2025) and a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in the Flatiron Institute (2018-2024). I earned my Ph.D. in Astrophysics from UC Berkeley, where I worked with Eliot Quataert.
